Review summaries and opinions

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

ROI

Sentiment score
7.0
Azure Monitor provides real-time insights with mixed financial gains, offering significant savings when integrated with Microsoft products.
Sentiment score
7.6
Veeam Data Platform enhances efficiency and cost-effectiveness with reduced backup failures, faster recovery, and dependable disaster recovery.
 

Customer Service

Sentiment score
6.2
Azure Monitor support receives mixed reviews; premium users report better service, but delays and limited technical depth remain issues.
Sentiment score
7.4
Veeam Data Platform's customer service is praised as responsive and professional, with effective support and valuable community resources.
However, the second-line support is good.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
7.7
Azure Monitor is valued for scalability, cloud flexibility, and integration, effectively suiting diverse organizational needs despite some challenges.
Sentiment score
7.5
Veeam Data Platform provides scalable, efficient, and adaptable solutions with ease of use and versatile integration, despite license cost concerns.
Integration with other vendors is also seamless.
In order to scale Veeam Data Platform, we have to pay a lot more money.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
8.3
Azure Monitor is stable, reliable, regularly updated, rated highly in stability, and appreciated across various business scales.
Sentiment score
7.9
Veeam Data Platform is stable and efficient, with issues mostly due to configuration errors, resolved by updates.
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.
There are no issues with stability in Veeam Data Platform.
 

Room For Improvement

Azure Monitor users desire better integration, support, AI capabilities, and expanded features for enhanced monitoring and user experience.
Veeam Data Platform faces integration and support challenges, high costs, and complex setup, impacting functionality and user satisfaction.
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.
Reducing it by 20% would make it more accessible to a broader range of customers.
The improvement we would like to see is the option to scale Veeam Data up in smaller sections rather than large sections, which requires paying much more.
 

Setup Cost

Azure Monitor is cost-effective for Azure clients, offering competitive pricing with pay-as-you-go and expense estimation tools.
Veeam Data Platform offers competitive pricing with predictable CPU socket-based licensing, though additional features can increase costs.
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.
A reduction of 20% in the current cost would make the solution more attractive to clients.
From what I know, it is expensive to add modules, with a scale rating of eight out of ten.
 

Valuable Features

Azure Monitor provides comprehensive monitoring, dynamic alerts, and easy integration with Azure services, supporting infrastructure and application performance.
Veeam Data Platform is praised for ease of use, scalability, cloud integration, and effective backup and recovery solutions.
Resource monitoring is essential.
The platform is user-friendly, comprehensive, and compatible with numerous market solutions, including virtualization and bare metal servers.
It is also one of the most scalable backup solutions I've worked with.

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.
