"Simple monitoring and metric collection"

5/5

What do you like best about Prometheus?

I really love how simple it is to set up. Download the binary and you are all set. Easy to deploy with configuration management tools. Adding Prometheus to our environment was much easier than other monitoring solutions that I tried. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Prometheus?

I wish that there was a little more documentation about the different exporters that are available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Prometheus:

Give it a try. It is simple to get going and you should have a pretty good idea of what it can do in a couple of hours. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wanted a modular approach to monitoring. This provides the metric collection piece that I can graphically represent in Grafana dashboards. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good!"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Prometheus?

(Fairly) easy setup when using pre-made docker images, or other premade configs. Wide range of exporters, and very light compared to some alternatives. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Prometheus?

Annoying to have to manually search for exporters, as documentation can the scarce for some of the lesser known ones. Would be easier if there was an easy drag and drop 'module' system, maybe. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
