We performed a comparison between Azure Monitor and Alluvio Aternity based on real PeerSpot user reviews in five categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: Azure Monitor is the preferred choice over Alluvio Aternity as it has robust monitoring abilities for cloud resources across multiple subscriptions, customizable and out-of-the-box functionalities, low cost, and integration with other Microsoft technologies. Alluvio Aternity provides valuable data on machine health and performance but could benefit from more customizable reporting options and detailed performance counters.
"Alluvio Aternity is stable."
"The item we use the most and what upper management wants is the SLA reports. It's a good summary of how the applications are performing over time from month to month."
"The most valuable feature is the alerting. As soon as we click on an incident, it takes us directly to the problematic PC. It's a direct solution. We click on an alert and it takes us to the incident details. The details show in different colors, in a graphical representation, and I like that the most."
"The dashboard is very effective."
"The ability to quickly utilize the dashboard to gather information is valuable from a DXI perspective."
"Aternity easily provides visibility of all the endpoint machines to my clients."
"The most valuable feature for us is trend analysis, particularly with device-help type of events and computer help events, such as blue screens, application errors, and application crashes."
"Aternity provides metrics about actual employee experience of all business-critical apps, rather than just a few. It does some out-of-the-box monitoring for the Office suite, but you can create custom monitoring for any of your applications, whether a web client or a desktop application."
"The tool's most valuable feature is the alert system, which can be set according to our metrics. The integration is smooth."
"It is a move-in powerful feature compared to other market-leading tools."
"It has good troubleshooting features."
"In the last company where I worked about a year ago, it looked very simple."
"One of the most useful aspects of this solution is the out-of-the-box functionality on all areas, especially on Application Insights, zero instrumentation, and artificial intelligence for event correlation."
"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."
"A product that is well-integrated for monitoring Microsoft Azure."
"Azure Monitor is really just a source for Dynatrace. It's just collecting data and monitoring the environment and the infrastructure. It is fairly good at that."
"Integrating the tool with other products is a challenge."
"Potentially, the one thing that could probably help with better levels of enterprise adoption is around creating the application monitoring signatures. That process can be a little bit difficult. If one thing could be simplified a little bit, it would be the application monitoring signature creation process."
"It all comes in pretty nice looking charts and things, but we have a hard time pulling out hard data, which is usually what you'll need if you're trying to be actionable."
"Aternity does provide performance numbers, the data. However, it doesn't tell you what you can do about it. It just presents the facts. How to interpret the data, and how to draw conclusions from a lot of the data, requires knowledge and experience. That's the part that I would hope Aternity can continue to explore and give us that kind of capability."
"When it comes to a lot of the features that I would want, they will tell you they are in their SaaS version, which we don't use... They put all the new features on the SaaS solution and that's where you get the latest and greatest stuff... Why not have those features available for on-prem users?"
"The licensing model doesn't suit the market we are in and has room for improvement."
"I want more reporting around asset management, with greater flexibility and customization ability."
"In terms of a new feature, it would be good if we could restrict a user to a specific application or server. We have several customers, and we have to set up one or two servers for each customer. We have to set up one server for production and one for the test environment. Each user at the customer level can see all applications and the data of all applications, which is not really useful and good. We should be able to restrict user access at the application level or server level."
"The price could be lower but it is not a must."
"Lacks information including details related to where problems lie."
"As a younger product it still has room for feature improvement and enhancement."
"The length of latency is terrible and needs to be improved."
"We encounter some difficulties in monitoring the operating system on its own."
"It might not have all of the capabilities we will need."
"Azure Monitor could improve network performance monitoring and make it more advanced."
"Integration with third-party tools from other vendors than Azure is more time-consuming"
