Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability."The solution's initial setup process was straightforward since we were getting enough support from Honeycomb.io's team."
"The product has an easy-to-understand interface."
"The product is easy to maintain."
"The sky is the limit because the solution is a flexible open box that can be used vastly to do anything you need to monitor applications."

"It is highly valuable as it serves as the foundation for our infrastructure monitoring tools."
"The most valuable feature is that we can receive information in different formats."
"The most valuable feature of Prometheus is the ease of pulling the metrics."
"The most valuable feature of Prometheus is its ability to collect metrics."
"The process of log scraping gets delayed on Honeycomb.io. At times, it gives false alerts to the application team."
"Prometheus can definitely improve its visualization. For example, the matrices represented in Prometheus do not have a very good visualization on their dashboard."
"A slight alteration to the user interface should be made to increase efficiency and streamline the process. Currently, we are utilizing Prometheus to gather and compile metrics and then utilizing Grafana to display them in the form of a graph. However, I believe that Prometheus has the capability to handle both of these tasks on its own, with perhaps the addition of a supplementary plugin. By doing so, the need for utilizing two separate applications will be eliminated."
"I would like to see improvement in the analysis tools and customization features."
"When it comes to deployment, if you have no experience with something like a CI/CD pipeline, it might be a challenge."
"The DSL could be improved."
"They could provide efficient logs in terms of clarity and ease of access similar to Datadog’s paid version."
"Setting up the rules in Prometheus can be confusing, making it an area where improvements are required."
"Its documentation could be clearer to understand."
