Netdata Reviews & Product Details

Netdata is a real-time, high-performance, and on-premises observability platform designed to monitor metrics and logs with unparalleled efficiency. It requires zero-configuration to get started and provides alerts, anomaly detection, and AI-assisted troubleshooting out of the box, offering a powerful and comprehensive infrastructure monitoring experience. Delivering a simpler, faster, and significantly easier approach to real-time, low-latency monitoring for systems, containers, applications, IoT, and network devices, it is known for its distributed design, processing data at the edge rather than funneling it into central databases like traditional monitoring solutions. The lightweight open-source Netdata Agent acts as a distributed database, enabling the creation of complex observability pipelines with modular, Lego-like simplicity. It also provides AI insights for all monitored data by training machine learning models directly at the edge, enabling fully automated and unsupervised anomaly detection. With intuitive APIs and UIs, users can perform root cause analysis and troubleshoot issues quickly, identifying correlations and gaining deeper insights into their infrastructure.

"Server monitoring and alerting can't get easier than this!"

5/5

What do you like best about Netdata?

Aside from the automated metrics graphing and alerting in Netdata which by itself is amazing, Netadata can also provide HashiCorp Consul service healtcheck failure alerts automatically by simply collecting metrics through the StatsD protocol -- a wonderful side effect I was not expecting at all and one that I absolutely needed! I was already planning to use Netdata due to all the other monitoring alerts it already provides out of the box, and knowing it can automatically monitor my HashiCorp Nomad integrated with Consul is definitely the cherry on top. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Netdata?

Container setup can take a few tries since you need to provide the correct mountpoints and other settings scattered throughout the manual, but everything is documented and once done it works wonderfully -- I haven't had a single Netdata instance crash in more than six months of constant monitoring and alerting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Netdata solving and how is that benefiting you?

Cluster monitoring, alerting and debugging are my primary uses. More specifically, misallocating the service stack memory usage within HashiCorp Nomad can result in strange errors that are hard to debug. However Netdata can provide alerts for out-of-memory services within the Nomad cluster which is exactly what I was looking for at the time I stumbled upon Netdata.

"Solid monitoring solution for Linux systems"

5/5

What do you like best about Netdata?

I've been using Netdata on my Linux systems for about half a year, and I've got to say: it's been pretty solid. The installation and customization are painless, which is always appreciated.

What's really helped us is Netdata's ability to uncover issues we didn't notice, like failed disk arrays. Identifying and fixing these problems quickly has helped us cut downtime significantly. If you're running Linux, I'd say Netdata is a smart choice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Netdata?

Windows is a struggle. There is some support via VNodes, but you'll need a Linux server and Prometheus. You also can't use custom stats yet. The Windows stats collection process is still in the works and it isn't quite as smooth as for Linux. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Netdata solving and how is that benefiting you?

Netdata quickly identifies and alerts me of system issues, like failed disk arrays, on my Linux systems. This early detection enables me to solve problems swiftly, significantly reducing downtime. It’s a user-friendly, all-in-one monitoring tool that has streamlined my diagnostics process and made system maintenance noticeably hassle-free. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
