Business Problems Solved
Grafana has been widely praised by users for its ability to visualize graphs and data collected from millions of customers. It has become an essential tool for a leading set top box provider in Europe. Users have found Grafana particularly valuable in showcasing the impact of real-world conditions on resources, such as changes in system resources during spikes in web traffic. Additionally, Grafana's capability to gather metrics on all infrastructure and app levels in one place has proven beneficial for monitoring microservices. It has successfully addressed the issue of inadequate monitoring and alerting capabilities in AWS Cloudwatch by providing customizable graphs and alerts. The ability to offer custom PostgreSQL graphing dashboards has also enhanced monitoring options for customers. Grafana's quick and effective visualization of critical systems' status and usage, both on premises and in the cloud, enables faster issue response.

For visibility into application monitoring and alerting (both frontend and backend), as well as AWS service monitoring and alerting, Grafana is excellent for real-time metric statistics and integrates seamlessly with the TIG stack. We are a B2C product, and for all issues related to debugging and alerting, Grafana is working like a charm and significantly reducing the turnaround time (TAT) during crises
Pros
Monitoring of both frontend and backend application
Alerting of critial issues
Stats monitoring for product
Cons
Alerting of baseline in case of deviate baseline
Lack of data transformation
nil

We're using Grafana for visualizing Prometheus metrics which comes from our Kubernetes clusters and other Application and Enterprise tools servers and sending alerts on our collaboration channels whenever a metric is breeching defined threshold. There are a lot of paid tools [that] are available in the market, but nothing is better than Grafana.
Pros
It visualizes metrics very well coming from any well known data source.
It sends alerts to collaboration channels when a threshold is breeched.
Graphs and dashboards are portable (Graph-as-a-Code).
Cons
There are some settings which we can't configure from UI (Web Console).
We've open[ed] up configuration files in command line text editors and manually do the settings e.g. LDAP/SSO configuration.
In terms of visualization, it's best, but it doesn't support log analysis otherwise it could destroy business of all other visualization tools.
Likelihood to Recommend
If you are looking for a tool that can visualize metrics coming from data sources, create widgets, dashboards, and send alerts on collaboration channels when a threshold is breached then in that case Grafana is a GoTo tool; but if you are looking for analyzing logs, Grafana can not do this you will have to with Kibana or any other log analysis tool [in my opinion].
