Azure Monitor Reviews Summary
Author infoRatingReview Summary
Software Engineer (DevOps/ SRE) at Sensys LLC3.5In my organization, we use Azure Monitor for our Azure services owing to its easy integration and native access. However, the significant cost of log ingestion is a drawback. While useful, the documentation and resource optimization need improvement.
Snr. Infrastructure Architect (Data Centre) at LogicEra4.5I use Azure Monitor for infrastructure monitoring, finding its resource monitoring and reporting features valuable. However, it could improve by offering independent log storage without relying on Log Analytics Workspace, and a pricing adjustment would be beneficial.
Cloud Solution Architect at Cloudzant4.5I've used Azure Monitor for five years; it's stable, scalable, and valuable for monitoring, automation, and alerting, though initial setup is complex and cost transparency needs improvement. Overall, it delivers strong ROI and supports operational efficiency.
Sr. Technology Architect at a consultancy with 10,001+ employees3.5I primarily use Azure Monitor to track Azure services' performance and manage incidents without extra coding. Its valuable features include CPU usage monitoring and easy integration. However, some features require payment for testing, posing a challenge.
Group Chief of Enterprise Architecture & S/W Engineering/ CTO at Aventra Group3.5Our company, a premium Azure member, effectively uses Azure Monitor for infrastructure and VM monitoring. While user-friendly and feature-rich, it remains expensive and poses integration challenges with third-party tools, needing improvement in cost and compatibility.
Enterprise Architect at a mining and metals company with 10,001+ employees3.5I use Azure Monitor to track infrastructure, like virtual machines and management services. Its query language and integration with Application Insights are valuable. However, the pricing could be more flexible. Previously, I have used Zabbix and New Relic.
Senior Administrator at Wipro Limited4.0I use Azure Monitor to track resource metrics like CPU and RAM usage by installing an agent on each resource. While easy to use in a cloud environment, it lacks AI service integration, which I find limiting.
Associate Principal - Cloud Solutions at Apexon3.5We use Azure Monitor regularly for logging and alerts, despite its latency issues. It's more effective than New Relic or Datadog, but improvements in visualization and proactive alerts would enhance its ROI, which I currently rate as poor.
