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."The solution very easily integrates with Azure services and in one click you can monitor your resource."
"The tool's most valuable feature is the alert system, which can be set according to our metrics. The integration is smooth."
"Recently, they have improved their integration with other resources, so we get even more robust data."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"It is a move-in powerful feature compared to other market-leading tools."
"The solution has tons of valuable features."
"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."
"I am impressed by the reporting on the average eight ports that we get from this solution."
"The solution's initial setup process was straightforward since we were getting enough support from Honeycomb.io's team."
"There is room for improvement in stability."
"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."
"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."
"As a younger product it still has room for feature improvement and enhancement."
"The solution's monitoring feature has limitations for analyzing multiple metrics."
"The monitoring of Kubernetes clusters needs improvement to be on par with competitors."
"The scalability could be improved as there are some limitations."
"I need connectivity with cost management."
"The process of log scraping gets delayed on Honeycomb.io. At times, it gives false alerts to the application team."
