Prometheus Reviews & Product Details

Cloud native tools compatibility and support, push/pull options to get metrics, prolql capabilities to filter & combine multiple metrics to create custom alerts, stability Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

breaking changes between versions, scalability issues when using federated prometheus, critical bus like a recent memory leak can affect other applications when prometheus is embedded and time to resolution is not easy to predict in those cases due to the nature of the team managing the direction of the product Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The software is very lightweight and can be hosted with minimal resource usage. Many exporters exist for various software, but the format is simple enough to build your custom exporter for exotic apps.

Prometheus can also be combined with Grafana to present a beautiful dashboard and use Alertmanager to create complex alerting rules. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The initial configuration takes time as nothing works out of the box, and the query language (PromQL) can be somewhat complex if one needs to build an advanced dashboard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1. Poor customer service is one of the biggest flaws. In case you get stuck, you will not get appropriate support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is a push-based metric collector and shows data in tables or graphs accurately. It can collect data from instances and also from hosted websites. It has an accurate alerting system too. It is fast and accurate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Prometheus is itself an efficient framework, but when we talk about visualization, it is not very effective and efficient. Prometheus uses Grafana for visualization and becomes effective as a data source for Grafana. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

it is helpful for collecting the metrics. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

GUI can be better for creating dashboards. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Prometheus has a powerful and flexible query language (PromQL) that allows analyzing your data easy. I use this software with its various exporters, Thanos, Grafana, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I haven't found anything bad or missing from this product yet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Allows us to create and push custom metrics using prometheus client libraries available across several widely used programming languages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Memory intensive application. Not Durable for long term storage of metrics. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Open source and integration features with slack and Wide Variety of DB Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

promql is little hard to understand writing custom queries is not easy and documentation is not super helpful Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very powerful monitoring solution and the Prom Query language is very powerful too! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A bit of a learning curve to get a good handle of the Prom Query language, but very useful once you know the ins and outs Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Best thing I liked about Prometheus is that It comes with it's own Prom Query Language. Once we learn Prom Query Language, we can write any query to define alerting rules. Also it comes with many aggregate functions which can be used to filter and apply mathematical calculations on the alerts. It comes with wide variety of alerting metrics. Example for Virtual machines and also for Kubernetes Clusters. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is very minimum things to said as bad, but one thing that i found is you will have to know all the metric names in order to create rules and there are a lot of metrics. Also another thing which i disliked is it doesn't have a stable client library for most of the programming languages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
