This solution is a part of a complete suite of management tools. So, it can be integrated with other solutions for monitoring networks, which is very important. You can expand it or interconnect it with many other tools, which is a powerful feature. We have a very good and long relationship with ManageEngine support guys. They provide very good support for us."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to be able to monitor Kubernetes."
"The feature that I have found most valuable in ManageEngine Applications Manager is its dashboard."
"ManageEngine Applications Manager's installation is pretty easy."
"We do not have pricing constraints as an organization, because we do have reservations about ManageEngine being functionally scalable."

"The solution is useful to collect huge metrics."
"The best thing about Prometheus is its integration."
"The scalability of Prometheus is very good."
"The feature I found most valuable is the number of integrations. It is the industry standard for metrics."
"Prometheus is an open-source product that helps mold and improve it per our requirements. It is a lightweight solution that gives you many different metrics you can use in your application. The product offers complete granularity of your infrastructure. It integrates seamlessly with other tools like Grafana, which offers dashboard visibility. Prometheus is an extensively used product. I haven't seen any organization that is not using it."
"It lets me proactively identify and resolve system issues. This, in terms of, most of the time, really reduces downtime. Because when there are notifications on time when we engage it quickly on time, our downtime is highly reduced. So basically, Prometheus is for monitoring and alerting."

It has some limitations in more complex environments, but because we are free to use different solutions, we try to find what is best for the customers or the problem we are trying to solve."
"Even with the top-notch dashboard, it could be made stronger in order to have an additional plug-in for analytics."
"Lacks an SIEM solution which can be found in other products."
"The scalability must be improved."
"If you are not quite technical, it can be pretty hard to understand the way it works and how to query data in Prometheus."
"When it comes to deployment, if you have no experience with something like a CI/CD pipeline, it might be a challenge."
"Prometheus requires improvement on the query side."
"The interface is not particularly user-friendly and that could be improved."
"One potential area for improvement would be fixing the occasional glitches and bugs."
"Prometheus has a learning curve when setting it up. It definitely requires a little bit more hands-on than other solutions. It is an open source solution which means you do need to go through and read the literature that they have online for setting it up. The setup could be made easier."
"They could provide efficient logs in terms of clarity and ease of access similar to Datadog’s paid version."
