"Real time monitoring that actually works - and it really is "real time""
5/5
What do you like best about Netdata?

The real-time visualizations are incredible - no more waiting around for dashboards to load or refresh. Everything updates instantly, and the interface is so intuitive that I don't need to dig through documentation just to find basic metrics. The zero-configuration setup was a pleasant surprise too. Just install it and boom, you're monitoring everything. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Netdata?

The alert configuration could be more straightforward and I wish it had tracing support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Really impressed with Netdata, it's become my go-to monitoring tool"
4/5
What do you like best about Netdata?

It’s one of the easiest monitoring tools I’ve ever set up. Just install it and you immediately get a super detailed dashboard showing system metrics — CPU, memory, disk, network, processes — all updating in real

It is really lightweight, I was expecting some performance hit, but it barely uses any resources. And I didn’t have to do any crazy config or tuning to get useful data — it just works.

I’ve also connected a few systems to Netdata Cloud, and being able to monitor everything in one place.

Overall it's a solid tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"End to End Visibility of your infrastructure"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Netdata?

The installation is simple and takes a couple of minutes and Netdata automatically provides visibility 1000s of metrics every second. And this helps us to understand our infrastructure better and helps avoiding outages and makes troubleshooting extremely fast with special tools for troubleshooting.

What do you dislike about Netdata?

Missing the APM and the logs functionality is good but can improved. We hear that this is already on the roadmap though. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Powerful Real-Time Monitoring"
4/5
What do you like best about Netdata?

I've been using Netdata for infrastructure monitoring across multiple servers, and I must say it delivers exceptional real-time visibility into system health. The per-second granularity and wide range of pre-configured metrics make it incredibly valuable for detecting and resolving performance issues quickly.

Setup is quite quick, it is light weight and scalable.

The UI is intuitive and offers detailed, per-second charts for CPU, memory, network, disk, and more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Netdata?

While the default dashboards are great, customizing them can be unintuitive and lacks flexibility. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Reliable Monitoring with Great Usability and Support"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Netdata?

What I like best about Netdata is that they actively listen to client pain points and make a real effort to resolve or address them to the client’s satisfaction. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Netdata?

One thing I dislike is that Netdata sometimes updates the agent automatically without prior notice. It would be better if clients received an alert before the update so they can prepare accordingly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easily the biggest bang for buck of any resource monitoring tool we have tried"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Netdata?

It just works, out of the box it will give you more metrics that you have ever dreamed of AND give you sensible alerts for those metrics. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Netdata?

If you are running it at scale on your own infrastructure (hosting your own parent node) then documentation is lacking and some (small features) are missing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A Nimble monitoring tool with Great Visualization & Customizable Dashboard"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Netdata?

Netdata is an easy to setup and configurable monitoring tool with great visualization and comprehensive list of both system and application metrics to be monitored. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Netdata?

We tried this on a non scalable environment of few microservices. So the scalability factor need to be checked when you have 100s of containers or vms in the production environment for running a distributed system of microservices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Simple and ready-to-use implementation of a complete monitoring stack"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Netdata?

I value how easy it is to deploy the stack and use the preconfigured dashboards.

Additionally, the stack has a low resource footprint across my different devices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Netdata?

There’s little to complain about. At times, the interface can seem overloaded with elements, but that’s to be expected — when using a monitoring stack, you need to have a clear idea of your intended use.

I have no criticisms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
