We performed a comparison between Azure Monitor and Honeycomb.io based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability."It is a move-in powerful feature compared to other market-leading tools."
"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."
"A product that is well-integrated for monitoring Microsoft Azure."
"Azure Monitor is a very easy-to-use product in the cloud environment."
"The solution's most valuable features are its ability to focus on delivery and maximizing the performance of applications and services."
"We like this searchability and availability of the data."
"Azure Monitor is useful because of the useful application insights and telemetry, such as metrics and logs."
"The most valuable feature is that it ensures our servers are up."
"The solution's initial setup process was straightforward since we were getting enough support from Honeycomb.io's team."
"I'd like the solution to do more around vulnerability assessment. It's lacking in the product right now."
"The length of latency is terrible and needs to be improved."
"Automation related to gathering metrics from more applications could be improved."
"Integration with third-party tools from other vendors than Azure is more time-consuming"
"The scalability could be improved as there are some limitations."
"There are a lot of things that take more time to do, such as charting, alerting, and correlation of data, and things like that. Azure Monitor doesn't tell you why something happened. It just tells you that it happened. It should also have some type of AI. Environments and applications are becoming more and more complex every day with hundreds or thousands of microservices. Therefore, having to do a lot of the stuff manually takes a lot of time, and on top of that, troubleshooting issues takes a lot of time. The traditional method of troubleshooting doesn't really work for or apply to this environment we're in. So, having an AI-based system and the ability to automate deployments of your monitoring and configurations makes it much easier."
"Azure Monitor is not user-friendly, and the interface is not exciting. Switching between the dashboards is not easy."
"The monitoring of Kubernetes clusters needs improvement to be on par with competitors."
"The process of log scraping gets delayed on Honeycomb.io. At times, it gives false alerts to the application team."
