A critical review is made of the results of magnetic field measurements in prominences obtained by the Zeeman and Hanle methods. By considering the example of three prominences, some discrepancies between the methods are shown. The authors consider that the magnetic field measurements by the Hanle method inadequately represent the actual magnetic field pattern. To overcome these discrepancies a comparative analysis of magnetic field measurements in prominences by both methods is required.
