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.
"All of it, but it depends on who the end user is. The folks that support the applications, like the signatures that we've developed, it gives them feedback on their application performance."
"The dashboard is very effective."
"There are also built-in activities that let you measure things like preview mail, open address book, and send mail. Those are the activities that we are able to get measurements on, and those are things we have not seen in other software monitoring tools."
"Alluvio Aternity is stable."
"The dashboards of this platform are the most valuable, especially the Desktop Health dashboard."
"The application response time. That's what our business has been having a problem with."
"Aternity easily provides visibility of all the endpoint machines to my clients."
"Aternity provides metrics about actual employee experience of all business-critical apps, rather than just a few. It does some out-of-the-box monitoring for the Office suite, but you can create custom monitoring for any of your applications, whether a web client or a desktop application."
"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."
"Technical support is good and helpful...The initial setup is easy."
"Recently, they have improved their integration with other resources, so we get even more robust data."
"Log analytics and log queries are the most valuable features of Azure Monitor."
"Technical support is helpful."
"The most valuable features of Azure Monitor are the login analytics workspace and we can write any kind of custom queries in order to receive the data that is inserted into the login analytics workspace, diagnostic settings, et cetera."
"Azure Monitor is very stable."
"A product that is well-integrated for monitoring Microsoft Azure."
"Right now, the user information being displayed by Aternity is received from AD. Ideally, we would like to see integration with other sources for user information, like other databases, so we are not limited to AD."
"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."
"I would like to see more granular performance counters collected and viewable from the endpoints. That would be great."
"They've additionally added some great color coding, but they need to explain better and drive down further on the meanings of this workflow."
"When it comes to what is called creating signatures, it's not easy for a non-coding person for desktop applications. You need to run the recording and you need to have some exposure and knowledge. That is an area where they can improve. For web applications, they have the Web Activity Creator and that's an awesome and easy tool. Anybody can use it and capture the signatures. With the desktop applications it's a little more cumbersome and difficult."
"I would like Alluvio Aternity to be certified by the IRAP for petrol companies in Australia."
"To monitor these transactions, you need to look at it, analyze it and capture it. It requires a little bit of work, but in an environment like ours, you need it to be easier."
"I want more reporting around asset management, with greater flexibility and customization ability."
"The price could be lower but it is not a must."
"Setting up this solution is complex. It's also missing the functionality of assigning alerts."
"This solution has fewer features than some of its competitors, so adding more features to it would make it better."
"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."
"Automation related to gathering metrics from more applications could be improved."
"We cannot use AI services with the solution."
"Currently, it seems it's complicated to get the correct information in terms of what to do and how things work."
