What differentiates Microsoft Azure Monitor from other similar products?

An easy way to monitor our Microsoft Azure infrastructure is through Azure Monitor. Metrics, logs, and performance data are covered, which helps in tracking. To achieve our operational efficiency goals, we chose Azure Monitor because it is a secure and affordable option.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

I like their excellent incident communication systems, well-designed dashboards for various monitoring activities, and overall smooth operation. This is a fantastic tool to keep track of all my company logins and make the tracking process much simpler.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Sometimes it becomes slow due to too much data, certain operations have too few activities to complete, and there are too many alternatives that could be consolidated into a single dashboard.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

One of the best features is how it makes it easy to collect and analyze various types of data, metric logs, and the like. Thanks to it, we can track performance from a single platform. It significantly improves the performance of our application.

What differentiates Microsoft Azure Monitor from other similar products?

Applications and services hosted on Microsoft's Azure cloud platform can be tracked and observed with the help of Azure Monitor, a tool provided by the tech giant. Its configurable dashboards and real-time performance data analysis have been a game-changer for our application optimization efforts.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

I love it as it is now much easier to monitor and troubleshoot because all of our logs can be queried and analyzed in one central location.

What do you dislike most about this product?

The pricing scheme is difficult to predict accurately and costs can increase if not properly controlled, making the tool difficult to set up and operate, especially for those new to Azure.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

We intended to increase the availability and performance of applications and services. Finding and removing performance bottlenecks proved to be a struggle for us.
