"Awesome metrics collection for monitoring"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Prometheus?

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.

What do you dislike about Prometheus?

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.

"Collecting metrics from your infraestructure and applications in a simple way"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Prometheus?

Prometheus stands out for offering an interface that gives the user the possibility of selecting those metrics that they want to monitor, in addition to the integration it has with other tools such as Grafana for displaying these metrics. Other utilities it offers is the use of Exporters that can be useful in cases where it is not easy to implement a given system with Prometheus metrics directly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Prometheus?

Sometimes there are errors in the metrics when the application gives errors, and it isn't easy to monitor cases where we need more details. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
