"Plugin: Connecting Grafana to multiple APIs of leading monitoring tools and alerting tools."
"Collaboration: Shares data and dashboards across teams."
"This solution provides valuable insights into the health of our infrastructure in real time."
"It excels in providing comprehensive details when there are downtimes or fluctuations, offering thorough reports."
"Grafana is a very scalable product. It's a really good product."
"It gives us the visibility we need. I like that when we add deployment markers or release markers, we know exactly when an issue arises. For instance, if there is an increased usage of CPU, we can link it directly to the deployment that might have caused the issue. It increases productivity and observability. We can now easily tell when a certain issue arises. It's way easier to debug because it can point you to certain things based on these markers, and we can debug easier."
"Grafana is able to connect with multiple data sources, unlike Elasticsearch."
"InfoVista 5View NetFlow allows us to control the application layer and manage API connections, i.e. Facebook logins or whatever other third-party API services we require."
"There is a need for improvement in automating daily monitoring reports, especially when alerts are triggered due to system downtimes or fluctuations."
"The documentation or training provided by Grafana is limited compared to its competitors, like Splunk."
"It would be helpful if Grafana provided more information and training on how to use Prometheus."
"There is room for improvement when using multiple dashboards because they can become complicated to keep track of and use."
"Setting up alerts via Grafana is a bit complicated, and alerting needs to improve."
"I have a problem with Grafana in the area of documentation."
"Grafana need to improve the logging functionality."
"Its interface could be more accessible."
"A little bit better documentation on the details is needed because this subject is not easy sometimes to understand, which limits the capability of the software."
