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."
"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."
"The product’s scalability is valuable."
"The most valuable feature is that we can receive information in different formats."
"The scalability of Prometheus is very good."
"The most valuable features of Prometheus for metrics collection and monitoring are its stability, robustness, and rich set of features."
"The solution can be deployed in thirty minutes."
"The best thing about Prometheus is its integration."
"The feature I found most valuable is the number of integrations. It is the industry standard for metrics."
"The process of log scraping gets delayed on Honeycomb.io. At times, it gives false alerts to the application team."
"The product must improve its documentation."
"Prometheus can definitely improve its visualization. For example, the matrices represented in Prometheus do not have a very good visualization on their dashboard."
"When it comes to deployment, if you have no experience with something like a CI/CD pipeline, it might be a challenge."
"The alert functionality is kind of lackluster."
"Its documentation could be clearer to understand."
"I would like to see improvement in the analysis tools and customization features."
"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."
"Setting up the rules in Prometheus can be confusing, making it an area where improvements are required."
