Overall, Azure Monitor is regarded as a strong and dependable product that offers excellent value for its cost.
"Azure Monitor is a very easy-to-use product in the cloud environment."
"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."
"A product that is well-integrated for monitoring Microsoft Azure."
"Azure Monitor gives us the observability to check everything that we have in the cloud."
"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 impressed by the reporting on the average eight ports that we get from this solution."
"You can scale the product."
"The solution is quite stable."
"The most valuable features of New Relic are the reports and ease of use."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to receive in-depth information about applications. It can detect a lot of important information."
"We detect issues using dashboards that we built on New Relic."
"The service maps that it creates, the health maps that it creates, the insights that it provides, etc., are all quite useful."
"The stability of New Relic APM is very good."
"Support for plug-ins (RMQ, Redis etc.) is a valuable feature."
"Working with the solution is very easy. It's user-friendly."
"It allows the restriction of privileges and control of users."
"They need to work on a more hybrid deployment that will allow us to monitor local on-premise deployments and connect to different systems. I would like to see more integration."
"We cannot use AI services with the solution."
"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."
"The scalability could be improved as there are some limitations."
"The troubleshooting logs need improvement. There should be some improvement there. I have a hard time finding the right logs at the right times whenever there is an issue occurring."
"The solution should have cross-connection or cross-communication between tech partners."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in stability."
"There are times when you restart the engines and the servers have a unique ID for the host and you need to remove the server. It is difficult because some are on-premise and others are production hosts. Having downtime is not very good when updating. However, it is not a constant issue."
"The price could improve."
"We would like a dashboard feature to be created for this product. This would allow us to monitor both the front and back-end of our UIs performance, and then report on it."
"The browser isn't exactly reliable."
"It is very difficult to award the service level cycles at an endpoint level."
"Compared to their competitors, they are missing some features at the moment."
"I would like if it could have predictive analysis. Today, we only have the option to configure thresholds."
"Some AIOps are missing in New Relic APS, and I would like to see more features in this area."
