A powerful Kusto query language but the alerting mechanism needs improvement
Our company is a service integrator and we use the solution to monitor logs, metrics, and applications for customers. We have 200 users throughout our company.  The tools for logs and metrics are pretty good and easy to use. We can do metric monitoring, log monitoring, and prepare queries to…

Integrates well with IBM technologies, but it's outdated and lacks essential features
IBM's main value lies in its integration with its own technologies, which can be seen as a benefit in environments where IBM products are extensively used. However, this can also lead to vendor lock-in, limiting flexibility and potential compatibility with other technologies. Implementing…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It allows you to set thresholds on the metrics and receive alerts."
"The solution has tons of valuable features."
"The solution very easily integrates with Azure services and in one click you can monitor your resource."
"The feature that I found most valuable in Azure Monitor is its monitoring abilities. With Azure Monitor, you are able to monitor all of your cloud resources across multiple subscriptions in one dashboard and create solution-specific alerts that can trigger an email to the team responsible for that specific solution."
"I am monitoring all of my Azure Monitor and getting good reports. I can customize the reports to get the information I need. I am also getting emails about which AAS instances are down and everything in the system related to my services. It is easy to use, scalable, and user-friendly. Microsoft has Many guides and videos to help you understand how to create and use Azure Monitor."
"It is a robust, stable product."
"The solution is quite stable."
"Good load and metrics gathering and very good analysis."
"IBM's main value lies in its integration with its own technologies, which can be seen as a benefit in environments where IBM products are extensively used."
"The solution is very stable. We never had any issues with stability."
 

Cons

"In terms of pricing, Azure Monitor's billing based on data size can sometimes lead to increased costs, especially when developers need to purge data frequently. While there are mechanisms in place to track and manage this, there is room for improvement in terms of optimizing data pausing and related processes. Enhancements in this area could help mitigate potential billing concerns and provide a more seamless experience for users."
"Currently, it seems it's complicated to get the correct information in terms of what to do and how things work."
"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."
"They need to work on a more hybrid deployment that will allow us to monitor local on-premise deployments and connect to different systems. I would like to see more integration."
"Lacks information including details related to where problems lie."
"The biggest one is probably just the user interface. There could be more advanced logging at the database level. They can also improve their query builder to allow you to search for things better, but I last used it about a year ago. They might have already changed a ton of things in the newer versions."
"They can simplify the overall complexity since you have multiple data sources in the cloud for monitoring. It's quite simple, but there are so many portals. It takes time to work with it. If they could simplify the user configuration, that would be good."
"The solution needs better monitoring. It requires better log controls."
"The installation process is difficult, requiring continuous support and specialist expertise due to our limited knowledge of managing it effectively."
"The user interface was not good."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"My company is okay with the current pricing of the solution."
"I would rate Azure Monitor a two out of five for affordability."
"The tool is expensive."
"Azure Monitor is a low-priced solution, which is why it would work best on small-scale projects."
"Besides standard licensing fees the customer needs to additionally pay based on the ingested data size"
"Customers of Azure Monitor must pay an amount that depends largely on how many services they need to integrate and the storage space required in terms of logs, etc. If they only have a few small services to monitor, the price won't be too high, but on the opposite side of the spectrum, it can certainly get pricey."
"The solution’s pricing depends on how much logs it collects."
"The solution is very costly because you have to pay for various things such as adding to logs and internet alerts."
"I would rate the pricing a nine to ten. It is very expensive."
