What is Grafana?

Grafana is an open-source visualization and analytics platform that can connect to various data sources. It allows data to be clearly presented in dashboards, with extensive customization options available for graphs and status indicators.

Benefits and Features of Grafana

Grafana offers the following benefits for creating, managing, and using monitoring dashboards in production environments:

  • Status overviews and time series data with automatic updates

  • Easy dashboard sharing via link

  • Effortless display on production floor monitors using kiosk mode

  • Setup of alerts and notifications based on real-time production data

Platform Grafana

Platform Grafana is a service provided by ENLYZE that provides you with access to a Grafana server hosted by us. This provides two main advantages for your production:

  • There is no need to configure your own Grafana server. Once you receive the login credentials for the Platform Grafana user account, you can immediately begin creating dashboards.

  • Platform Grafana is already connected to the ENLYZE Manufacturing Data Platform, which includes all data provided by ENLYZE — from machine operations, ERP systems, and other sources. This means dashboards can be populated directly with relevant data, and you can also integrate and combine additional data sources.

The full feature set of a self-hosted Grafana server remains available. Additional data sources and plugins can be added by ENLYZE Customer Support.

Comparison with Other Visualization Tools

Grafana is often mentioned alongside other analytics tools such as Power BI and Tableau. But what are the differences, and when should one of the other tools be used?

Grafana is particularly well-suited for the following use cases, where it outperforms Power BI and Tableau:

  • Monitoring real-time data from over 100 types of data sources.

  • Automatic alerts and notifications via various messenger apps.

However, there are also scenarios where Grafana is not the best solution, and Power BI or Tableau may be preferable:

  • Quarterly reports and KPI analyses.

  • Comparison of data across different time periods.
