Highly preferred tool for monitoring, log collection and analyse of the events.
Best in collecting logs of the events. Completely reliable in management of notification, time, and alerts. Automated tracking dashboard for instant review.
Not easy to start with , tricky panel and features.

Grafana was the first visualization tool we used with our students. We are still using it because it makes it possible to explain the whole visualisation process of data. Starting from getting data in a database to make realtime visualizations and error reporting possible. Due to real time visualization of the data, we can make savings in the company. Next to that we can make calculations of optimization possibilities of the campus (heat and electricity) which are very usefull to save more energy.
The ease of making visualizations with different data sources (ex. influx DB). Easy to make visualizations of energy datasets. We are visualizing all the energy data of the campus on real time base with Grafana. This is very useful to have an overview of the realtime consumption of the different sites. With Grafana we also implement upper and lower limits. When consumption is to high, we try to lower down the consumption of the different processes, depending of the price.
It is hard to make reports with Grafana. For this reason, for making reports we are using other tools and visualisation software. Next to that sometimes updates are making that some visualisations are not possible anymore. But over the time I use Grafana, it keeps getting better.

Visualising got easy to manage cloud monitoring services as able to integrate different clouds on the same dashboard. It can be easily configured with most Databases as Relational, Time-Series. The alert system is the most effective one which we can make use of in Grafana to set the Alerts and all.
The most I like to have this software used as its free to use and also its an open source software. Grafana consists of various kinds of authenticating methods and security level setup. It has a an alert and monitoring tool which keeps on updating after a threshold value for which is set. It has chances of new developments and API interaction, Creation of new measurements and demonstrating concerning different devices
Everything has a limit, as its Limits charts to Time Series, It is not self manageable. The dashboard also has a very limited organisation. The UI isnt that much effective, as its having a very limited designs. It has set its boundaries to time series only, as its not comparitively well organised with respect of other tools in the market such as Power BI etc...

It's "The daily tool" to review, server status, service status, backups status. It's the 'must have' tool for viewing the status of servers.
It's very easy to mix different data and create different graphs. Now it's possible to make graphs and mix with images, SVG images. All of this in a very intuitive way.
It's not possible to make granular permissions in the versions we use.

I am very happy with Grafana and it's dashboard and plotting variations of metricises.
In Grafana it's very easy to create the dashboard and plot the data at the same location from multiple resources. It supports many data sources like Prometheus and Influx database.
If we need to create custom dashboards, we need to learn JASON language.
