We performed a comparison between Azure Monitor and Alluvio Aternity 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 the preferred choice over Alluvio Aternity as it has robust monitoring abilities for cloud resources across multiple subscriptions, customizable and out-of-the-box functionalities, low cost, and integration with other Microsoft technologies. Alluvio Aternity provides valuable data on machine health and performance but could benefit from more customizable reporting options and detailed performance counters.
"The ability to quickly utilize the dashboard to gather information is valuable from a DXI perspective."
"The most valuable feature for me is being able to monitor the productivity of every employee in the company as well as third-party, outsourced companies that work on our behalf."
"It is useful for working out whether there are any issues in the network or between the endpoints. It is also useful for working out any performance issues. It has been useful for a lot of stuff around Teams. Our customers like to know what's happening with Teams when they call in. It is helpful for easily profiling users. It records all the applications that are being used for each user, and you can see what users are doing. It is very good in terms of performance. You don't have to wait forever to try and get reports or results. It is quite quick to get everything that you need out of the software."
"The dashboard is very effective."
"The data collected by the agents on each end point is the most valuable feature for us."
"The item we use the most and what upper management wants is the SLA reports. It's a good summary of how the applications are performing over time from month to month."
"Other features we use heavily are the WiFi analyzer, the Skype for Business analyzer, and the troubleshooting functionalities. We also use the Device Health quite religiously here for troubleshooting devices that are unhealthy, when we're talking about things like high CPU or memory consumption, or file system problems within the users' workstations."
"It is a tool that helps me check users' computers really quickly without having a help desk administrator logging in and doing analysis. Anyone who has access to Aternity, including our support team, can log onto Aternity and do a quick, basic analysis."
"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."
"It's a service from Microsoft, so it will scale."
"The tools for logs and metrics are pretty good and easy to use."
"You can scale the product."
"We like this searchability and availability of the data."
"Technical support is helpful."
"Data exporting is easy, and this tool works seamlessly with other solutions. It's a stable and low-priced solution."
"The solution integrates well with the Microsoft platform."
"When they moved from Version 8 to Version 9, the customers lost so much control of what they could do with the product."
"I would like to get more granular detail. In regards to defining the applications and activities upfront, that can be challenging. Simplifying that would be a big win. One of the things that I know they are already working on is a verbose mode."
"The solution is available at a higher price than other solutions."
"I would say the reporting capabilities of this product could use room for improvement."
"Signature development process requires deep technical expertise in the application and in the use of their studio tools that help you create it."
"Aternity does provide performance numbers, the data. However, it doesn't tell you what you can do about it. It just presents the facts. How to interpret the data, and how to draw conclusions from a lot of the data, requires knowledge and experience. That's the part that I would hope Aternity can continue to explore and give us that kind of capability."
"I want more reporting around asset management, with greater flexibility and customization ability."
"The only thing I can say which has been frustrating are the Tableau workspace/dashboard options out-of-the-box, at least prior to version 8."
"This solution could be improved with more out-of-the-box functionalities and artificial intelligence to complete event correlation."
"We cannot use AI services with the solution."
"The scalability could be improved as there are some limitations."
"It might not have all of the capabilities we will need."
"They can simplify the overall complexity since you have multiple data sources in the cloud for monitoring. It's quite simple, but there are so many portals. It takes time to work with it. If they could simplify the user configuration, that would be good."
"The solution's monitoring feature has limitations for analyzing multiple metrics."
"It's really complex to retrieve or query the logs in Azure Monitor."
"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."
