We performed a comparison between Azure Monitor and SolarWinds Pingdom based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It is a move-in powerful feature compared to other market-leading tools."
"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."
"Azure Monitor's best features are its graphs and charts, the different visibility options, and reporting."
"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."
"Log analytics and log queries are the most valuable features of Azure Monitor."
"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."
"I am monitoring all of my Azure Monitor and getting good reports. I can customize the reports to get the information I need. I am also getting emails about which AAS instances are down and everything in the system related to my services. It is easy to use, scalable, and user-friendly. Microsoft has Many guides and videos to help you understand how to create and use Azure Monitor."
"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."
"One notable feature of this software is its page speed setup, which is highly commendable. Additionally, the metrics it provides are also impressive."
"Once you set the threshold on your environment, it feels very real-time"
"The most valuable features are monitoring and reporting."
"Azure Monitor could improve network performance monitoring and make it more advanced."
"I'd like the solution to do more around vulnerability assessment. It's lacking in the product right now."
"When something goes down, we want the option to have automation in place to get it back up again as quickly as possible."
"They should include advanced logging on the database level in the Azure pool."
"The process of implementation needs to be easier."
"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."
"Azure Monitor's integration with applications could be improved."
"We cannot use AI services with the solution."
"Some of the functions could improve by making them easier."
"I would like to see better integration with other products."
"Pingdom is always improving everything in its product. So, they should work on the GUI."
"Technical support could use some improvement."
