Detailed Comparison
Prometheus is a systems and service monitoring system. It collects metrics from configured targets at given intervals, evaluates rule expressions, displays the results, and can trigger alerts if some condition is observed to be true. | SigNoz is an open-source application performance monitoring tool(APM) tool. It helps developers monitor their application and troubleshoot problems. It can be self-hosted, so it's a great tool for privacy focused companies. |
Dimensional data; Powerful queries; Great visualization; Efficient storage; Precise alerting; Simple operation | Application overview metrics like requests per second, latency and error rates;
Slowest endpoints in your application;
See exact request trace to figure out issues in downstream services, slow DB queries, call to 3rd party services like payment gateways, etc.;
Filter traces by service name, operation, latency, error, tags/annotations;
Aggregate metrics on filtered traces. Eg, you can get error rate and 99th percentile latency of customer_type: gold or deployment_version: v2 or external_call: Paypal;
Customized dashboard for infrastructure monitoring;
Alert setting on metrics;
Unified UI for metrics and traces. No need to switch from Prometheus to Jaeger to debug issues |
