Find out in this report how the two Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Technical support is helpful."
"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."
"The solution integrates well with the Microsoft platform."
"The dashboard allows us to easily track various metrics and quickly understand the overall health of our system."
"Azure Monitor is useful because of the useful application insights and telemetry, such as metrics and logs."
"I am impressed by the reporting on the average eight ports that we get from this solution."
"You can scale the product."
"Azure Monitor is really just a source for Dynatrace. It's just collecting data and monitoring the environment and the infrastructure. It is fairly good at that."
"One notable feature of this software is its page speed setup, which is highly commendable. Additionally, the metrics it provides are also impressive."
"The most valuable features are monitoring and reporting."
"Once you set the threshold on your environment, it feels very real-time"
"There are alerting mechanisms in place to let us know, for example, if a device is not responding to a ping test and is probably not going to work."
"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."
"I need connectivity with cost management."
"Currently, it seems it's complicated to get the correct information in terms of what to do and how things work."
"Lacks information including details related to where problems lie."
"If it is configured incorrectly, you can end up with a huge bill."
"It's really complex to retrieve or query the logs in Azure Monitor."
"I'd like the solution to do more around vulnerability assessment. It's lacking in the product right now."
"Technical support could use some improvement."
"I would like to see better integration with other products."
"Some of the functions could improve by making them easier."
"Pingdom is always improving everything in its product. So, they should work on the GUI."
