"It is a robust, stable product."
"Azure Monitor gives us the observability to check everything that we have in the cloud."
"The solution is quite stable."
"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."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"In the last company where I worked about a year ago, it looked very simple."
"Having standard monitoring features and a central repository saves us a lot of time and reduces risk of incidents."
"Intuitive, Single-pane-of-glass dashboards for real-time statistics and long-term statistics for capacity management and in-depth analytics"
"At a glance I can easily see what is going on with all of my VMware environments, including top consumers of resources."
"With the APM you can replay the end user session and see issues quickly by viewing the session."
"It provides a history of the activities on our SQL servers."

"Sometimes we can solve problems before they occur."
"The ability to track performance of an application or application suite over time is extremely valuable to our business partners and for our application development team with near real time results."
"This solution could be improved with more out-of-the-box functionalities and artificial intelligence to complete event correlation."
"I need connectivity with cost management."
"Currently, it seems it's complicated to get the correct information in terms of what to do and how things work."
"The length of latency is terrible and needs to be improved."
"Automation related to gathering metrics from more applications could be improved."
"n comparison to New Relic, which I've used before, it's a bit more complicated. It's not as easy to use. It also took some time to get it working. The implementation needs to be simpler."
"The monitoring of Kubernetes clusters needs improvement to be on par with competitors."
"The scalability could be improved as there are some limitations."
"I want to see mobile access application in the next release."
"The version compatibility needs work."
"I think installation and setup needs little more improvement especially when you are installing with external database."
"SQL agents often failed but again this may have been addressed in future versions."
"We are running a Webmethods stack (Software AG) and Foglight is unable to instrument. We are in a POC with Dynatrace and it was able to instrument with little effort."
"There are some metrics I'd like to track that are difficult to find or implement into a tracking solution without a lot of manual work."
"I want to see a new interface that contains HTML5 features. The current version of Foglight (on-premise edition) is so fusty in comparison with leaders of Gartner APM Quadrant - i.e. Appdynamics, NewRelic, Dynatrace."
"My only complaint from Foglight for monitoring is that you only get a plot for five minute average for metrics like CPU and Memory, on the application side I can see metrics more quickly at 15 seconds for metrics like active sessions, heap. I would like to see the same for CPU and memory."
