We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""Azure Monitor is very stable.""The dashboard allows us to easily track various metrics and quickly understand the overall health of our system.""Azure Monitor is useful because of the useful application insights and telemetry, such as metrics and logs.""The upside to the solution is if you are working in a Microsoft or Azure environment, it makes things easier.""In the last company where I worked about a year ago, it looked very simple.""I am impressed by the reporting on the average eight ports that we get from this solution.""We like this searchability and availability of the data."

"The solution is very stable. We never had any issues with stability.""IBM's main value lies in its integration with its own technologies, which can be seen as a benefit in environments where IBM products are extensively used."

Cons
"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.""Lacks information including details related to where problems lie.""As a younger product it still has room for feature improvement and enhancement.""This solution has fewer features than some of its competitors, so adding more features to it would make it better.""If it is configured incorrectly, you can end up with a huge bill.""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 default interface should be improved.""In my opinion, they should improve the overall user experience, especially when it comes to indexing and searching collective logs."
