We actually work with BMC and similar solutions, and while I wouldn't say that they are the same as a full, fully-fledged APM ( /categories/application-performance-monitoring-apm-and-observability ), we're working our way up using open source and everything, so I don't know how far we'll get with that. We're a government agency, and although these costly tools are very efficient and useful, it's hard for me to convince the organization about that, especially since we're not allowed to use public cloud solutions, so we have an on-prem solution, which makes us a demanding customer.We use BMC Helix with the AIOps ( /categories/aiops ) solution, and while all of these are public domain knowledge because we have to be open with how we procure and purchase our services, I am not the one who would purchase such a system. I would be the customer to it and someone else would host it, while I work more with observability, such as the Grafana ( /products/grafana-reviews ) stack and the cloud-native solutions.We're working with Grafana ( /products/grafana-reviews ) more actively now for maybe a couple of years, and we are looking at Tempo and the tracing solutions to see if it will scale. We have metrics back-ends and everything, and we're basically late-stage discovery, early-stage implementation at large scale, with 1,400 people in our tech organization and a 14,000 people organization, where the technology side is just 10%.We get alerts from the alerting tools, and we act on them. I'm looking now at logs, Grafana, trace profiles, and while we're not yet into AI/ML and root-cause analysis, we do focus on alerting and, to some extent, plugins and app observability, mainly utilizing the basics for now.
I use Grafana mostly for monitoring purposes, such as tracking errors or alerts. When certain thresholds of warnings or errors are breached, Grafana sends me an alert because I am supplying it with data. Another use case I have is monitoring CPU usage and bandwidth.
The primary use case for Grafana is to display data from Prometheus in a graphical user interface for easy monitoring and analysis of metrics. It is used for end-to-end tracing of applications and integrates with AWS services.

We use it to monitor user behavior. We have AI LLM models in NVIDIA Triton. NVIDIA Triton gives us some metrics. These metrics are integrated with Grafana and Prometheus. We monitor user traffic to visualize metrics like p99 latency, increase in user and CPU performance, utilization of the GPUs, RAM utilization, and CPU utilization.
I use Grafana since it is interconnected with Zabbix. I also use Grafana for the dashboard of machines from VMware and for some network devices connected to Zabbix.

My main use case is the dashboard. For example, we have screens created in the last step, and we integrate Grafana with that so that we can see the dashboards with the data. What does the traffic look like? What do the errors look like? So the is our main use case.

I copied it on my primary server. I use it to monitor servers. I would say it is a good solution to track all the servers and platforms, specifically the technical platforms.
I have used Grafana mainly to build custom dashboards. We haven't got Grafana Enterprise due to billing issues. I have used Grahana, installing it physically on a server to build custom dashboards using plug-ins. I have used Enterprise Grafana cloud for many integrations, like RabbitMQ, JMSQs, and datasets. We are mainly focused on dashboards and not on alerting.
We use the solution to monitor business applications. It helps us analyze the technical and business metrics. We can find out the reason behind the delays in business processes using it.

We're getting the data from the CA team to Grafana, just feeding the data here from there. I used to create the standard dashboards and the custom dashboards based on the user's request. We use the product in a logistics project where I used it for creating the dashboard for the packages and delivery kind of logistics projects.

We use this solution primarily for data monitoring, specifically payment transaction monitoring. For example, we use it to monitor payments passing through our systems, integrate with different parties, and track the metrics of payments. The support team can view all these items on a dashboard to gauge the threshold of payments.
We use Grafana to visualize IT infrastructure monitoring data. We have real-time, historical, and trend data that we can visualize in a flexible manner using Grafana. We use Zabbix to collect, process, and store the data. Zabbix has its own inbuilt visualization widgets, dashboards, and graphs, however, Grafana adds more flexibility. We have integrated Zabbix with Grafana using the Zabbix API which gives access to almost all components of the Zabbix Software. Our environment is on-premises so we have both Zabbix and Grafana locally installed.
Grafana is an open-source visualization and analytics platform that stands out in the field of monitoring solutions. Grafana is widely recognized for its powerful, easy-to-set-up dashboards and visualizations. Grafana supports integration with a wide array of data sources and tools, including Prometheus, InfluxDB, MySQL, Splunk, and Elasticsearch, enhancing its versatility. Grafana has open-source and cloud options; the open-source version is a good choice for organizations with the...
