Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability."The solution integrates well with the Microsoft platform."
"Azure Monitor is very stable."
"It's a Microsoft native tool, so it works well with other Microsoft technologies, which is predominantly what our customer end-user base is."
"The dashboard allows us to easily track various metrics and quickly understand the overall health of our system."
"Technical support is good and helpful...The initial setup is easy."
"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."
"The tools for logs and metrics are pretty good and easy to use."
"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."
"The solution's initial setup process was straightforward since we were getting enough support from Honeycomb.io's team."
"As a younger product it still has room for feature improvement and enhancement."
"The default interface should be improved."
"Enhancing and reaching a level of detail that facilitates pinpointing and addressing issues at such a refined level within the application and database components would be helpful."
"The troubleshooting logs need improvement. There should be some improvement there. I have a hard time finding the right logs at the right times whenever there is an issue occurring."
"Currently, it seems it's complicated to get the correct information in terms of what to do and how things work."
"The query builder could be better. In comparison to other monitoring tools, in order to use Azure Monitor, your engineers need to have KQL experience. If they don't, it's not intuitive as a system."
"Azure Monitor could improve network performance monitoring and make it more advanced."
"I would like more transparency when we use the solution with another environment, like on-premises, or on another cloud environment, like AWS or GCP."
"The process of log scraping gets delayed on Honeycomb.io. At times, it gives false alerts to the application team."
