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…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We like this searchability and availability of the data."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"Azure Monitor's best features are its graphs and charts, the different visibility options, and reporting."
"The solution very easily integrates with Azure services and in one click you can monitor your resource."
"It is a move-in powerful feature compared to other market-leading tools."
"One of the most useful aspects of this solution is the out-of-the-box functionality on all areas, especially on Application Insights, zero instrumentation, and artificial intelligence for event correlation."
"I use the solution to monitor the infrastructure and applications."
"Among the valuable features of this solution, Application Insights stands out as one of the most significant. It provides insights into application performance and helps identify issues and bottlenecks."
"This solution is very flexible and user-friendly — it's very good. It's very good with our virtual and physical infrastructure."
"It's simply very good software for backup purposes."
"The solution is carefully designed to be easy to use - even if you're in a panic."
"The most valuable aspect is its reliability in recovering any replaceable data in the event of server issues in a production environment."
"The solution is simple to use."
"I have been in contact with technical support and they are very good."
"Its simplicity and the fact that it just works are most valuable. We kind of set it up and generally forget about it. It does what we need it to do in the background, and it doesn't involve a lot of management."
"The replication feature has proven to be the most valuable feature for us."
 

Cons

"Azure Monitor could improve the visualization aspect and integrate better with other third-party services."
"It's really complex to retrieve or query the logs in Azure Monitor."
"It might not have all of the capabilities we will need."
"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."
"Azure Monitor's integration with applications could be improved."
"The solution needs better monitoring. It requires better log controls."
"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."
"No improvements are needed from my perspective."
"They need full cloud integration such that an on-premises backup can be offloaded to the cloud for storage."
"There's a lot of room for improvement surrounding the backup process."
"We would like to have the ability to perform more things on the web interface. The heavy client is still needed to perform advanced tasks."
"The threshold could be easier to configure."
"Veeam is not in SaaS right now."
"The deduplication feature could be improved by changing to global deduplication."
"The initial setup of Veeam Backup Replication is straightforward. The process took approximately two days. The setup could be streamlined to take less time."
"It would be nice if the solution scanned for malware in the backups."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"Azure Monitor's price is minimal to the point of being almost negligible."
"It is a pay-as-you-go model. I find it very cost-effective."
"Its cost depends on the ingestion of the logs. It could go anywhere. For an out-of-the-box platform such as FrameFlow, you pay pretty much a fixed price and you get what you get, whereas, with something like Azure Monitor, you pay by the ingestion charge, so you can have one client who pays hardly anything for the same alerts, and another client pays loads and loads."
"Regarding pricing, Azure Monitor is free with Azure license, so there are no additional costs for using it."
"The tool is expensive."
"The solution is very costly because you have to pay for various things such as adding to logs and internet alerts."
"My company is okay with the current pricing of the solution."
"This product is not cheap, but it's well worth the cost."
"Veeam Backup Replication has a lot of free features. We have a mixture of the paid versions as well as the community version. They are really helpful to us."
"We try to use perpetual licensing, and there are no additional costs. They have recently moved to universal licensing, which is more expensive, and I would like them to go back to host licensing."
"The price is affordable."
"There is a license required for this solution and the price is a bit expensive but it depends on the environment that you have on how much it will cost."
"Veeam ONE is cheaper when you compare it with one of its competitors in the ops space, VMware vRealize Operations. There's a separate department that deals with the licensing, but my company is using CSP licensing, which is the service provider licensing, so my company doesn't fall under the normal volume at the Veeam Universal licensing program. The cost is commit-based and depends on what your point commit is. The point commit works differently, and it's similar to your sales provider license. If you commit to using one thousand five hundred points, you get a certain price. If you commit to using the eight hundred points scheme, you get a certain price. As you grow the point scheme, you get a different price range, so it doesn't matter whether you're using Veeam One, Veeam Availability Suite, Veeam Backup and Replication, Orchestrate, or whatever the product is."
"Its pricing is really good."
"The price is quite fair."
