Its cost depends on the ingestion of the logs. It could go anywhere. For an out-of-the-box platform such as FrameFlow, you pay pretty much a fixed price and you get what you get, whereas, with something like Azure Monitor, you pay by the ingestion charge, so you can have one client who pays hardly anything for the same alerts, and another client pays loads and loads. From experience, Azure itself isn't a cheap system. It's not a cheap tool at all. If you don't configure it correctly, it's really expensive. I'd rate it a nine out of ten.
The solution is very costly because you have to pay for various things such as adding to logs and internet alerts. Logging costs are very high so should be lowered. Companies who log one TB or more will have very high costs. We should be able to log in a storage account to save costs. Splunk is also very costly.
Because we have to use Log Analytics, in combination with Azure Monitor, it is expensive. It is expensive because the logs are getting generated for store requests across all the Azure resources. This is all that needs to be stored, and both in terms of hot and cold storage. Cold storage after 30 days, but hot storage is required for the NOC and the SOC teams, the network operations, and the security operations teams. Typically, we do try to encourage our customers to keep at least 30 days within Azure Monitor. I would rate Azure Monitor a two out of five for affordability.

Azure Monitor is not too expensive. On a scale of one to five, with one being expensive and five being affordable and competitively priced, I'm giving the solution a four.

Due to the fact that the pricing has changed to a date ingest model, it can get very expensive. The costing can fluctuate quite a bit month to month. There isn't a way to really say this costs so many dollars a month.
Azure Monitor is a comprehensive monitoring solution offered by Microsoft Azure. It provides a centralized platform for monitoring the performance and health of various Azure resources, applications, and infrastructure.
With Azure Monitor, users can gain insights into the availability, performance, and usage of their applications and infrastructure. The key features of Azure Monitor include metrics, logs, alerts, and dashboards. Metrics allow users to collect and analyze performance...
The solution’s pricing depends on how much logs it collects.
Since we are using the basic set, it is more cost-effective compared to other third-party APM solutions.

Azure Monitor's price is minimal to the point of being almost negligible. I would rate its pricing eight out of ten.

The licensing is a monthly fee.
The licenses require a subscription based on the log file sizing. The pricing is better than, for example, New Relic. New Relic was too costly for us.
I'm not concerned about the pricing. Actually that is handled by a different team. It is a pay-as-you-go service. We pay as needed.
