There's nothing to dislike about it, the software just works as it is intended to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Netdata makes monitoring very very easy. Setting it up on my infrastructure (what they call nodes) was very simple, and their dashboard/software provides everything I need quite easily. They also make it very easy to integrate with various other software, like OS and databases. Their people are also amazingly responsive and helpful - it's like you're not supported by customer support agents, but by people who know the software really well. Finally, the cost is truly reasonable for what they're offering. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Netdata is still lacking a few specific integrations and features that can be found in some of the bigger players in the market. Nevertheless, it has everything I need for monitoring, which is the primary reason I use them. In addition to that, they've been very fast lately with adding missing functionalities, like windows monitoring and their ai insights/alerts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Netdata is a low maintenance, low effort way to start monitoring some deep system metrics and it "just works". Netdata's free tier gives you the chance to see all the product features.
Digging into different metrics and grouping by different dimensions is extremely useful. Correlating metrics is fairly easy and is done better than most other tools I've used. If you know the metrics that matter on a system, it seems relatively easy to look at those metrics across systems.
Documentation is reasonably good. Most of the metrics and alerts have useful help pages describing what a metric is and why it matters. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The UI can be overwhelming the first time you're in it.
Tuning notifications and thresholds in the free version was awkward. When we switched to the cloud-centric threshold adjustments and notifications, was a little awkward and we haven't fully switched. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The real-time visualizations are incredible - no more waiting around for dashboards to load or refresh. Everything updates instantly, and the interface is so intuitive that I don't need to dig through documentation just to find basic metrics. The zero-configuration setup was a pleasant surprise too. Just install it and boom, you're monitoring everything. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The alert configuration could be more straightforward and I wish it had tracing support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It’s one of the easiest monitoring tools I’ve ever set up. Just install it and you immediately get a super detailed dashboard showing system metrics — CPU, memory, disk, network, processes — all updating in real
It is really lightweight, I was expecting some performance hit, but it barely uses any resources. And I didn’t have to do any crazy config or tuning to get useful data — it just works.
I’ve also connected a few systems to Netdata Cloud, and being able to monitor everything in one place.
Overall it's a solid tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Netdata provides networking metrics but it has some limitations like no deep packet inspection, limited visibility into distributed network topologies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The installation is simple and takes a couple of minutes and Netdata automatically provides visibility 1000s of metrics every second. And this helps us to understand our infrastructure better and helps avoiding outages and makes troubleshooting extremely fast with special tools for troubleshooting.

Missing the APM and the logs functionality is good but can improved. We hear that this is already on the roadmap though. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I've been using Netdata for infrastructure monitoring across multiple servers, and I must say it delivers exceptional real-time visibility into system health. The per-second granularity and wide range of pre-configured metrics make it incredibly valuable for detecting and resolving performance issues quickly.
Setup is quite quick, it is light weight and scalable.
The UI is intuitive and offers detailed, per-second charts for CPU, memory, network, disk, and more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
While the default dashboards are great, customizing them can be unintuitive and lacks flexibility. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What I like best about Netdata is that they actively listen to client pain points and make a real effort to resolve or address them to the client’s satisfaction. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
One thing I dislike is that Netdata sometimes updates the agent automatically without prior notice. It would be better if clients received an alert before the update so they can prepare accordingly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It just works, out of the box it will give you more metrics that you have ever dreamed of AND give you sensible alerts for those metrics. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
If you are running it at scale on your own infrastructure (hosting your own parent node) then documentation is lacking and some (small features) are missing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Have been using netdata tool for sometime,the key difference to other tools is the real time metrics collection which helps in faster troubleshooting and preventing downtime and outages.The ease with which i can monitor everything in one place.its been a real game changer for me.

There is ease to how we use the tool but it does have few limitations in terms of getting in depth assessment of network analytics and limited visibility into a network topology Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
