Sentiment score
8.2
Users consistently rate Gigamon Deep Observability Pipeline highly for its stability, with minimal issues reported over a year of use.
Azure Monitor is working fine, yet I face a costing issue as if there are a lot of logs collected in the workspace or in the center, it becomes very costly.
 

Room For Improvement

Azure Monitor users desire better integration, support, AI capabilities, and expanded features for enhanced monitoring and user experience.
Gigamon needs better security, traffic inspection, improved GUI, increased capacity, better filtering, and easier cloud setup, with faster hardware delivery.
If Azure Monitor can independently add one gigabyte, two gigabytes, or five gigabytes at least to log storage, I can fix the logs without syncing with Log Analytics Workspace and Sentinel.
 

Setup Cost

Azure Monitor is cost-effective for Azure clients, offering competitive pricing with pay-as-you-go and expense estimation tools.
<p>Gigamon Deep Observability Pipeline's pricing is considered high but varies by equipment needs, with competitive alternatives available.</p>
When I export logs into the application, workspace, log analytic workspace, and into Sentinel to read reports, I need to add storage, which increases the cost.
 

Valuable Features

Azure Monitor provides comprehensive monitoring, dynamic alerts, and easy integration with Azure services, supporting infrastructure and application performance.
Gigamon Deep Observability Pipeline improves firewall performance and enhances network traffic analysis with features like deduplication and encryption.

Monthly and weekly resource monitoring has improved efficiency
Azure Monitor can improve by adding some kind of storage for logs. I can get the runtime logs alone, yet if Azure Monitor can independently add one gigabyte, two gigabytes, or five gigabytes at least to log storage, I can fix the logs without syncing with Log Analytics Workspace and Sentinel. If they do that, and if they can integrate a little pricing adjustment, it will be profitable for the Microsoft tool.
