I couldn't find the DS latency metric.But in opensource we cannot expect 100% also. > > I like prometheus the way it integrate with all products \& gives the granular output in grafanna.In opensource monitoring tool prometheus is No.1 as of now according to me. ----- ### "Best open source monitoring tool" — 5.0/5 > **Narasimman** | *June 30, 2022* | Telecommunications | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: The product is not very ease to use , it requires some basic skills about monitoring. The integration of prometheus with our existing environement took some time but made beautifully. Exporters available for almost all products with most of the inbuild metrics. Alert configuration i like the most. Our NOC team watches the alerts triggering from prometheus and escalated to respective team. They never get any false alerts as such. > > **Cons**: Configuring victoriya metrics is quite difficult which could be made easy. Overall prometheus administration requires some skills which not all people easy to learn. For some products few metrics are missing like for vmware datastore latency metric is mssing. > > We have cutdown the costing for monitoring. No more enterprise monitoring tool required. ----- ### "Log Analysis and Monitoring Tool for Application Performance" — 3.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *August 29, 2022* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: This is light tool for efficient tracking and monitoring the applications > > **Cons**: it has almost no visualization we need to integrate grafana to visualise Prometheus output ----- ### "Globally used tool for Reporting and Analytics" — 5.0/5 > **Sabarish** | *February 24, 2023* | Information Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: A great tool to manage, report and analyze your servers and applications.Well maintained KEDB and configuration and can be integrated with many platforms > > **Cons**: Their visualization can be made much better when compared to other reporting and monitoring tools. ----- ### "Review for prometheus" — 4.0/5 > **Aldo** | *May 18, 2022* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: the integrations for some apps for example notifications with webhooks > > **Cons**: I don't know if this is the least but the software is open source and the support is from the community > > I have implemented software for monitoring all enterprise servers and use grafana to create metrics and get more details. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ca/software/1017814/prometheus?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ca/software/1017814/prometheus) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | ----- ## Structured Data
