Reviews (Snippets from G2)
Pros
- Far more flexible than traditional monitoring solutions like Nagios. A wide variety of Prometheus metric exporters already in the community, and many open source products are natively incorporating Prometheus exporters.
- Easy redeployable, very fast database (even the giant queries are running super-fast), concept of the services monitoring instead of the instances monitoring. Really adequate queries syntax, simple alerting, in-house integration with the Grafana.
- It is very simple to use and has no external dependencies.
- It has a powerful query language to retrieve and evaluate metrics.
Cons
- You will have to know all the metric names in order to create rules and there are a lot of metrics.
- It only supports HTTP APIs to pull the data into the DB. I wish it could add more methods like S3 pull etc.
- This is not an easy setup.
- I dont like the alert manager part , its really complex and we find difficulties to configure using equations and promQL stuff
- The learning curve is bit steep and also there is no unique identifier for alerts generated by the Alertmanager.
