We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"As an Administrator, before we bought this AppInternals, I didn't have visibility on why items were slow or why an application was not running. This gives us the ability to see what's going on. The application is load balancing. We can now see if its own server has issues or just one specific server has issues.""The most valuable aspect of this solution is the integration with their other systems. It's easy to understand and it points out the relevant problems in the enterprise.""The capability of analysing each individual transaction captured to a very low level detail (method call/line of code).""Synthetic transactions, WMI and SNMP query capability.""I like it that one can match IPs with the application name.""Clicks to root cause - fast & easy to diagnose and deep-dive""We just control on the backend of AppInternals what we want to instrument and what we don't want to instrument.""The product is very useful to find problems in middleware for the application servers, especially agent instrumentation and management is user friendly."

"Data exporting is easy, and this tool works seamlessly with other solutions. It's a stable and low-priced solution.""I am impressed by the reporting on the average eight ports that we get from this solution.""It's a service from Microsoft, so it will scale.""Log analytics and log queries are the most valuable features of Azure Monitor.""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 feature is the universality of their functionalities in all Azure services, including, software solutions.""Good load and metrics gathering and very good analysis.""The dashboard allows us to easily track various metrics and quickly understand the overall health of our system."

Cons
"The technical support is not very good and should be improved.""The recording mechanism for synthetic transactions could be improved as well.""They should find a way for report generation from TTW to run quicker.""It would be great if the solution could offer fixed bundles and more features.""Deployment and agent patch management is not managed centrally, resulting in a large level of effort to update.""I would like for it to have automated updates, the way the product updates itself should be all automated, as opposed to what it is now.""We have put in a request as an enhancement that we would like to search for items. If we're searching for a URL and we want to know was it a get or was it a post.""Support for PHP, DB and other applications need to be supported."

"If it is configured incorrectly, you can end up with a huge bill.""Azure Monitor's integration with applications could be improved.""The query builder could be better. In comparison to other monitoring tools, in order to use Azure Monitor, your engineers need to have KQL experience. If they don't, it's not intuitive as a system.""We cannot use AI services with the solution.""The solution's monitoring feature has limitations for analyzing multiple metrics.""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.""Automation related to gathering metrics from more applications could be improved.""It's really complex to retrieve or query the logs in Azure Monitor."

  • "The licensing model is expensive compared to its competitors, but the service it gives to your business, and the data quality, means that it's worth it."
  • "The licensing model for v9 is better where it is an individual license per server, while v10 licenses are per JVM/ .NET and server instance. The latter model appears to be the model that other APM vendors are using."
