Why choose Site24x7?

Out-of-the-box network monitoring

Site24x7 simplifies network monitoring with preconfigured dashboards, alerts, and real-time topology maps for immediate bottleneck identification. Unlike Grafana, which requires manual setup, integration with multiple data sources, and additional plugins for network mapping, Site24x7 offers a faster and more proactive approach with AI-powered anomaly detection that anticipates issues before they disrupt performance.

Comprehensive monitoring of your mobile apps

Site24x7 provides a holistic view of your mobile app's health by tracking user journeys across devices and networks and offering deep crash analytics, resource usage insights, and performance metrics. This provides actionable insights and timely alerts for critical issues, enabling faster troubleshooting. In contrast, Grafana lacks built-in mobile app monitoring features and requires additional tools for crash analysis, with more manual setup needed even for basic alerting.

Goes beyond visualization

While Grafana is a powerful open-source tool for visualizing data, it requires additional configuration and integration with various data sources to achieve comprehensive cloud-native observability. Site24x7 goes many levels deeper than visualization, and offers a unified platform that seamlessly collects, analyzes, and visualizes data from diverse cloud platforms and applications. This out-of-the-box approach simplifies monitoring and empowers your DevOps and operations teams to gain deeper insights into application health and performance.

Ease of use

Site24x7 provides a user-friendly, out-of-the-box solution with intuitive dashboards and preconfigured templates, making setup incredibly easy. Site24x7's seamless integration with various cloud platforms and services ensures faster time-to-value, enabling businesses to start monitoring their environments efficiently and effectively from day one. This ease of use translates into reduced training costs and a quicker realization of monitoring benefits. Grafana, on the other hand, requires more technical know-how due to the number of integrations and customizations required to start monitoring applications.

Dedicated customer support

Site24x7 offers round-the-clock, dedicated customer support with various tiers to meet the specific needs of customers. Additionally, Site24x7 has a vibrant community and extensive documentation to assist users in maximizing the platform's capabilities.
