We performed a comparison between Azure Monitor and Splunk ITSI (IT Service Intelligence) 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 a cost-effective and user-friendly option for developers looking to monitor cloud resources and integrate with Visual Studio, according to user reviews. It is preferred over Splunk ITSI due to its lower cost, ease of configuration and maintenance, and strong integration with other Microsoft technologies. Splunk ITSI is praised for its powerful functionality and ease of use, but is considered more expensive and lacks out-of-the-box solutions for enterprise users.
"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."
"It is a move-in powerful feature compared to other market-leading tools."
"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."
"The dashboard allows us to easily track various metrics and quickly understand the overall health of our system."
"The solution's most valuable features are its ability to focus on delivery and maximizing the performance of applications and services."
"The feature that I found most valuable in Azure Monitor is its monitoring abilities. With Azure Monitor, you are able to monitor all of your cloud resources across multiple subscriptions in one dashboard and create solution-specific alerts that can trigger an email to the team responsible for that specific solution."
"Azure Monitor's best features are its graphs and charts, the different visibility options, and reporting."
"The most valuable aspect lies in its utilization of predictive analytics to anticipate and prevent incidents within a window of twenty to thirty minutes."
"The solution has been stable."
"We liked the built-in calculation of health scores."
"Customers have noted the solution helps streamline incident management."
"The most valuable features are the mapping of the entities, which provides a comprehensive analysis, and the service analyzer for thresholding."

"We cannot use AI services with the solution."
"Azure Monitor's integration with applications could be improved."
"If it is configured incorrectly, you can end up with a huge bill."
"Lacks information including details related to where problems lie."
"The biggest one is probably just the user interface. There could be more advanced logging at the database level. They can also improve their query builder to allow you to search for things better, but I last used it about a year ago. They might have already changed a ton of things in the newer versions."
"We encounter some difficulties in monitoring the operating system on its own."
"Azure Monitor is not user-friendly, and the interface is not exciting. Switching between the dashboards is not easy."
"We also faced challenges relating to UI development."
"The dashboard queries should be improved. More queries should be suggested in order to produce better dashboards."
"We have problems doing upgrades and operating alternate new versions."
"We're getting alerts with delays of maybe five minutes, however, we'd like to see real-time alerting in the future."
"Splunk ITSI consumes a lot of CPU resources."
"We'd like them to show more inputs on the dashboard."
"The end-to-end visibility in Splunk ITSI is limited and has room for improvement."
"Some of our customers occasionally require the development of the connectors when there are no native connectors so that we can develop in Python or for customer slash comments as well. If they could adjust that, it would be ideal."
