We performed a comparison between Azure Monitor and Honeycomb.io based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability."Good load and metrics gathering and very good analysis."
"We like this searchability and availability of the data."
"For me, the best feature is the log analysis with Azure Monitor's Log Analytics. Without being able to analyze the logs of all the activities that affect the performance of a machine, your monitoring effectiveness will be severely limited."
"Among the valuable features of this solution, Application Insights stands out as one of the most significant. It provides insights into application performance and helps identify issues and bottlenecks."
"Log analytics and log queries are the most valuable features of Azure Monitor."
"The tools for logs and metrics are pretty good and easy to use."
"It's a service from Microsoft, so it will scale."
"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 solution's initial setup process was straightforward since we were getting enough support from Honeycomb.io's team."
"This solution could be improved with more out-of-the-box functionalities and artificial intelligence to complete event correlation."
"The scalability could be improved as there are some limitations."
"I would like more transparency when we use the solution with another environment, like on-premises, or on another cloud environment, like AWS or GCP."
"n comparison to New Relic, which I've used before, it's a bit more complicated. It's not as easy to use. It also took some time to get it working. The implementation needs to be simpler."
"Azure Monitor's integration with applications could be improved."
"There is room for improvement in stability."
"Azure Monitor could improve network performance monitoring and make it more advanced."
"The monitoring of Kubernetes clusters needs improvement to be on par with competitors."
"The process of log scraping gets delayed on Honeycomb.io. At times, it gives false alerts to the application team."
