"The most valuable feature is that it's stable. It hasn't crossed any thresholds."
"Recently, they have improved their integration with other resources, so we get even more robust data."
"The most valuable features of Azure Monitor are the login analytics workspace and we can write any kind of custom queries in order to receive the data that is inserted into the login analytics workspace, diagnostic settings, et cetera."
"The most valuable feature is the universality of their functionalities in all Azure services, including, software solutions."
"Data exporting is easy, and this tool works seamlessly with other solutions. It's a stable and low-priced solution."

"Azure Monitor is a very easy-to-use product in the cloud environment."
"The most valuable features are monitoring and reporting."
"There are alerting mechanisms in place to let us know, for example, if a device is not responding to a ping test and is probably not going to work."
"Once you set the threshold on your environment, it feels very real-time"
"One notable feature of this software is its page speed setup, which is highly commendable. Additionally, the metrics it provides are also impressive."
"There are a lot of things that take more time to do, such as charting, alerting, and correlation of data, and things like that. Azure Monitor doesn't tell you why something happened. It just tells you that it happened. It should also have some type of AI. Environments and applications are becoming more and more complex every day with hundreds or thousands of microservices. Therefore, having to do a lot of the stuff manually takes a lot of time, and on top of that, troubleshooting issues takes a lot of time. The traditional method of troubleshooting doesn't really work for or apply to this environment we're in. So, having an AI-based system and the ability to automate deployments of your monitoring and configurations makes it much easier."
"There is room for improvement in stability."
"The solution needs better monitoring. It requires better log controls."
"Azure Monitor could improve the visualization aspect and integrate better with other third-party services."

"It might not have all of the capabilities we will need."
"The monitoring of Kubernetes clusters needs improvement to be on par with competitors."
"Azure Monitor could improve network performance monitoring and make it more advanced."
"Pingdom is always improving everything in its product. So, they should work on the GUI."
"Technical support could use some improvement."
"I would like to see better integration with other products."
"Some of the functions could improve by making them easier."
