Find out in this report how the two Cloud Monitoring Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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."
"It is a move-in powerful feature compared to other market-leading tools."
"A product that is well-integrated for monitoring Microsoft Azure."
"You can scale the product."
"The solution very easily integrates with Azure services and in one click you can monitor your resource."
"For me, the best feature is the log analysis with Azure Monitor's Log Analytics. Without being able to analyze the logs of all the activities that affect the performance of a machine, your monitoring effectiveness will be severely limited."
"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."
"Azure Monitor is useful because of the useful application insights and telemetry, such as metrics and logs."
"We can monitor multiple sites using the product."
"I really like the auto-discovery feature."
"It's versatile, scalable, and easier to use compared to other solutions like Nagios and OMD."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it has a lot of different pieces, and they all work together...It is a very scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The most valuable features of Checkmk are its resource monitoring, infra monitoring, and log factor configuration."
"The initial setup of Checkmk was easy...It is a very stable solution."
"This solution could be improved with more out-of-the-box functionalities and artificial intelligence to complete event correlation."
"When something goes down, we want the option to have automation in place to get it back up again as quickly as possible."
"It's really complex to retrieve or query the logs in Azure Monitor."
"The default interface should be improved."
"The solution should have cross-connection or cross-communication between tech partners."
"Azure Monitor's integration with applications could be improved."
"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."
"The length of latency is terrible and needs to be improved."
"In Checkmk, the documentation can probably be improved a bit more."
"The initial setup is a bit complex."
"I think that the integration and the exporting of the data collected are areas where Checkmk lacks but should try to improve the most."
"If an alert is generated for a specific pattern in the log, and if Checkmk catches that log, it will stay there even after the alert is resolved."
"It is easy for tech-savvy people, but newcomers might find it intimidating."
"Sometimes we receive alerts, and it can become annoying when you acknowledge an alert. It is very clunky when you acknowledge the alert. The process is not very intuitive, and there are instances where it feels a bit cumbersome to acknowledge an alert."
