Best visualisation tool for monitoring
What do you like best about the product?
Customisation of graphs, a lot of data sources, a lot of plugins (different visualisations, auth, data sources). Multi-tenancy, different auth methods. Sharing of graphs. API for automation and etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
If you use it heavily sometimes you need to modify code to add more features (and in my experience only 30% of github PR got merged). Some obvious features for visualisation plugins are still missing (like filter out empty metrics from table).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Visualisation, alerts, monitoring, troubleshooting.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use internal alerts if you use cases are simple otherwise use some external and more powerful tool. Don't be lazy and set up proper auth.
Also remember that your Grafana powerfulness depends on your time series database. Nice would be to ideas is to use templating tool to build your graphs.

Easy time series visualization
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to set up and doesn't require a lot of code in order to have clean and useful time-series graphs. The best part is that it's available as a web server application and can thus be deployed quick and easy. Visually, the graphs and other dashboard components look good
What do you dislike about the product?
Requires plugins in order to use some data sources otherwise it's really wonderful
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
realtime visualization and monitoring of sensor readings and visualization of realtime calculation results from simulations. The deployment was relatively quick and easy and graph types can be changed easily with the click of a button.
Fast, reliable, and good-looking
What do you like best about the product?
Grafana is a great-looking data visualisation tool which allows you to create dashboards containing various data sources which can be collected from almost any software. I love how professional Grafana dashboards look compared to how little effort goes into creating them.
What do you dislike about the product?
Grafana requires a database or some other kind of persistent storage in order to keep historical data. This can sometimes be difficult to set up depending on your use case.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Grafana is a great way to show the impact real-world conditions have on resources (eg, the system resource change during a spike in web traffic can be easily seen)
Beautiful and Powerful
What do you like best about the product?
Once configured, the dashboards are pleasant to look at and nearly infinitely customizable to any need. Since it is an open source project, there are means to integrate with a large number of data collection systems.
What do you dislike about the product?
The tool takes a good bit of time to get set up and usable. It is not a project for someone looking for a quick solution.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed a quick visual dashboard showing status and usage of our critical systems both on premises and in the cloud. We see system trouble in seconds now rather than finding out when users experience a problem. This allows us to respond to issues before they impact the organization.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you need visualizers and don't mind a bit of configuration time on a Linux server, this is a fantastic tool.
The best opensource dashboards in the world
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to use the various datasources as a backend (prometheus, graphite, even elasticsearch), the ability to automate the deployment of Grafana itself (even the dashboards provisioning, which is great).
Documentation is very well, and especially, I love the kiosk mode.
Template variables are the best!

Template variables are the best!
What do you dislike about the product?
Alerting. It's really pitiful, because the alerting ability is very limited. You can't do math on it and you can't select popular business-messengers or alermanager.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The ability to have a quick overview of the project health itself, also we the ability to have the screens in the office, which are 24x7 playing the Grafana playlists
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You need to spend some time initially to understand which metrics and in which ways you want to show, because it's very easy to make bad dashboards, but quite complex to make them really useful
Future of monitoring
What do you like best about the product?
We use grafana for monitoring al the business process and infrastructure. We are now only approaching but it look good (moving from cacti). The capability to review data old and new it is powerful. The look and feel it is really good.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some time take time to update, maybe because we are on test.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Monitoring process and infrastructure
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It look like a powerful tool
Good UI
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to integrate with Graphite and AWS Cloudwatch
What do you dislike about the product?
Lack some features such as export to CSV
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Metrics monitoring
Best frontend for monitoring
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use, simplicity, initial configuration and user experience
What do you dislike about the product?
It could support out of the box with some new datasources.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With Grafana we can view from a single point all our infraestructure status, service time, alerting, all in one.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Start with telegraf, grafana and influxdb, next prepare some scripts
The best vumisulaisation tool for time series data base.
What do you like best about the product?
It works like a charm with the data sources it can be configured with. I worked with influxdb as a data source and set up was very easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
Once we have a lot of information on a single page it's difficult to load page. I have to split up my dashboard to get the performance up..
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We automated monitoring of our production infrastructure. Earlier after each deployment we needed to monitor the platform manually.
Grafana - very strong latency visualization tool
What do you like best about the product?
This is a very strong latency visualization tool that can show precise color-coded granularity (in our case, micro-second resolution) using internal data as the data source.. Types of files used include:
latency logs
error logs
latency logs
error logs
What do you dislike about the product?
Page loading can take a while (especially for large queries), but the timer at the top is helpful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our software is latency sensitive, so Grafana provides an excellent tool that displays latency over a specific time interval in vivid colors and with the granular resolution needed to investigate aberrations such as spikes and peak performance. Has the ability to display data using various filters: by time , by field etc.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The Dashboard provides an elegant array of graphs and provides an easy way of organizing historical reports. It also offers a nice display of filtered essential data. For example, the zoom and hide/show features allows for pinpoint and uncluttered viewing that quickly displays the data in user-friendly formats, which is essential for detailed investigations. Overall, a very handy utility. Highly recommended.
