I have not set up Grafana but my team has found it easy to do. We have an automated setup of Grafana. Every new pipeline gets created, and it creates a deep link into a Grafana dashboard.

It is very easy to set up the solution. It's not overly complex or difficult. 

It's a couple of months before you start. For example, for a company that doesn't have any experience, they need to take time to understand it, especially if they only have a sys admin and not a senior person. 

In our case, we did a lot of testing and installed it on a virtual machine. You do have a couple of months to play with it before you decide to go into production. 

Setting up Grafana can be a bit tricky. If I rate the difficulty level on a scale of one to ten, I would say it's around five. But once you have connected one data source, it becomes easier to connect with other things.

I deployed Grafana using Kubernetes manifest, so everything was pre-determined. I did this a long time ago when I first started working with Kubernetes. There was no manual installation required, I just used the manifest. This means that I can deploy Grafana to any new cluster easily.

The initial setup is straightforward. You simply see what you want to do. You want to add a row. You want to add a panel. So it's easy for me to set it up. 

Grafana's deployment takes around two hours. It's not super complicated, and it's pretty straightforward. Everything is available on the internet. You can browse the internet and get a bunch of documents to complete the deployment.

I was not involved in the implementation. I work with the team that has implemented it. 

The initial setup is straightforward with just a few clicks on the solution's cloud.

I give the initial setup an eight out of ten. There was a lack of support documents to help with the deployment. We just need to configure the file to plan the cluster.

I was not involved in the initial setup. We had a password issue at a point, but I am unsure if that was an issue with the solution or just within the organization.

The initial setup is simple. Depending on our needs initially. To plot graphs, there are many plugins and open-source dashboards available for use. 

The initial setup is easy for on-premises. You install, integrate, and immediately see the visualization. 

I am not sure about the ease of cloud or enterprise-level setups. 

One person deployed Grafana for my company, and the process only took twenty minutes maximum.

The initial setup is not overly complicated nor excessively straightforward. It's a manageable process that involves following a step-by-step approach.

I'm not sure if it is easy to set up the solution. I did not handle the deployment. 

The initial setup is straightforward. The deployment usually takes one and a half hours.

The solution was deployed with Kubernetes. The deployment took an hour to complete. It is not difficult to maintain as Kubernetes gives easy updates. 

Our team has two people who are in charge of that, but I'm not aware of its implementation.  

The initial setup is fairly straightforward, and Grafana is easy to configure.

The initial setup was straightforward, however, some resource optimization and tuning were needed. We have experienced professionals in tuning OS systems and application resources so it was not too complex for us.

The product's initial setup phase was very easy.

The solution is deployed on an on-premises model.

The solution's initial setup process is complicated. Its complexity depends on the use cases. Also, as it is self-hosted on Grafana cloud, it requires minimum maintenance.

The initial setup isn't straightforward. Users need to learn the product first. At that point, it becomes easier. 

There isn't really a deployment so much as a one-time integration from the APM for Grafana.

Whenever we create a new agent or an existing agent is used to create the dashboard in Grafana, it normally takes one or two hours to create one dashboard. One dashboard means it has multiple panels like CPU, memory, and application back and front end.

There are a lot of panels. If the user request has very minimal panels, then it takes just 30 minutes to an hour. If they need multiple panels and multiple windows for the graph on a dashboard, then it takes two to three hours to complete it.

Once it is set up, the solution is easy to maintain. 

The initial setup is straightforward.

Deployment is straightforward and takes a few minutes. It comes with Rancher so you can spin it up quickly. 

The initial setup was complex because we needed to specify many configurations. I rate the setup a seven out of ten. A third party completed the deployment, and the maintenance was done in-house. It is not difficult to maintain.

Unfortunately, I would not be able to comment on the initial setup as I wasn't involved in the setup process.

The initial setup is relatively simple but it can take a couple of weeks to get a grip on the GUI. We did the set up in-house, using documentation and a couple of training calls. Deployment took about a week. We have five users of Grafana in the company. 

The setup is not very easy or difficult, so it is in the middle because I faced an issue with it the first time, but the next time, I will configure it and make it work properly and in the correct manner.

The solution's initial setup was straightforward. We have hosted it on Kubernetes installation.

The installation process is easy. We have deployed it on the cloud.

The setup is easy. 

Five people on our internal team handle deployments and one person handles ongoing maintenance. 

I tried installing Grafana long ago, but it was very hard. Beginners will find that installing Grafana is not as simple as other solutions. You need to have the intermediate or medium-level experience to install Grafana.

It is very simple. Read the documentation!

Only the configuration for LDAP authentication is a bit complex, in case of you are using multiple domains.
