"Azure Monitor's best features are its graphs and charts, the different visibility options, and reporting."
"The solution is quite stable."
"Provides an overview and high-level information."
"It's a service from Microsoft, so it will scale."

"The most valuable feature is that it ensures our servers are up."
"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."

"The length of latency is terrible and needs to be improved."
"Currently, it seems it's complicated to get the correct information in terms of what to do and how things work."
"This solution could be improved with more out-of-the-box functionalities and artificial intelligence to complete event correlation."
"Lacks information including details related to where problems lie."
"It might not have all of the capabilities we will need."
"It's really complex to retrieve or query the logs in Azure Monitor."
"If the product had some prebuilt machine learning features, it would add value to our use cases."

"It would be good if an interface was included in the next release."
"Splunk ITSI lacks out-of-the-box solutions for enterprise users."
