"Best monitoring tool out there"
5/5
What do you like best about Prometheus?

You can define your own metrics for your application that want to monitor. Paired up with Grafana makes it a really powerful tool. It's Alert manager is a cherry on top. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Prometheus?

Just the integrations are a bit tough to crack on windows. If it can be made for windows then it will become the best monitoring tool out there. On Linux it works pretty fine. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Documention on performance parameter is not so good and lack knowledge on setting correct resources for production level traffic.

"This is a powerful monitoring tool"
3/5
What do you like best about Prometheus?

A good monitoring tool, I have used it for the past 1 year and I have never seen any kind of problem till now. almost covered all the useful metrics that need to be monitored. at first, it is complex to implement but once these problems are solved it can be the best monitoring solution for your environment, In addition to being able to use it as a service, its requirements are not very high, this helps to keep a low budget in monitoring storage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Prometheus?

You may need more than one server or service in addition to addons to complement the monitoring needs, for those new to the platform it is complicated, its different modules can confuse in its implementation Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"There no other choice"
4/5
What do you like best about Prometheus?

The whole design of Prometheus where goes ahead and scrapes data. Push gateways for the cases it is not possible. The easy way one can publish metrics if one is serious about consuming them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Prometheus?

PromQL. There are not enough words to describe the horrificness of the language. This looks like a weird hack because someone liked to express themselves with relational algebra and not knowing enough Prolog to use it as a query language instead. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
