Telemetry insights have improved how I track user behavior and application performance daily
I feel Azure Monitor does a fair job. I do feel it is not a streaming service in my opinion. There are advantages to having stream messaging and logging on that level. But for what it is, I feel it does well. My perspective is more based on an Application Insights agent running on a service or an app service and sending the telemetry via the agent, and also doing the filtering of telemetry at the agent level so you are not having a ton of telemetry. I believe Azure Monitor does pretty much the same thing. I have also used tools such as New Relic, and New Relic is a much more robust tool, but that is a different product and you are going to pay for that. It is a different offering altogether. The subscription that we had at the time allowed for a couple gigabytes of telemetry during the month, and I believe that telemetry only lives for about two months. You have to experiment with it to see how much you want to pay. I was not really involved in the pricing. It was more along the lines of we were running up against our limits in terms of the amount of free telemetry or telemetry that we get with our subscription, and so we either needed to scale back or turn specific telemetry types off or do some more sampling. It is nice that those capabilities are there so that you can reduce the amount of telemetry. I cannot really speak to pricing but I do believe that it is somewhat reasonable for Azure Monitor. New Relic is pretty expensive, I believe.

Clients experience effective network management and comprehensive monitoring
Arista currently provides their solution for their own Arista products only. A problem occurs because customers do not have only Arista products. Sometimes they have different kinds of products available in their network. For monitoring that network, they have to either procure more solutions from third parties or they have to procure the provider OEM to manage their switches. If Arista can integrate third-party switches for monitoring purposes, it will be beneficial for the customers. Arista and other competitors such as Cisco or HPE Aruba have their own benefits. Cisco and Aruba face the challenge of having multiple OS for networking their products, whereas Arista has a single OS across their products. This is very beneficial for customers as they only have to manage a single OS.

"The product provides a central management feature. It helps in eliminating human errors. It doesn't have a lot of bugs for software."
 

Cons

"The onboarding process of certain assets and the overall UI can be improved in Azure Monitor"
"I would like more transparency when we use the solution with another environment, like on-premises, or on another cloud environment, like AWS or GCP."
"have used multiple products like Webex and PRTG. Some features could be added. Azure Monitor should add SMS and APIs. We have very limited access to Azure Monitor. I usually get alerts on my phone when they are integrated with Slack. I am not always available, but my team is. Sometimes, I am traveling and don't have access to my email, but I have Slack and other third-party projects that send me instant messages if a sensor goes down."
"The pricing model could be more flexible."
"Lacks information including details related to where problems lie."
"The solution should have cross-connection or cross-communication between tech partners."
"Using Azure Monitor and Azure Arc separately to monitor different environments can be complicated."
"I'd like the solution to do more around vulnerability assessment. It's lacking in the product right now."
"CloudVision could have a user-friendly interface."
"Arista currently provides their solution for their own Arista products only. A problem occurs because customers do not have only Arista products."
"CloudVision could have a user-friendly interface."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is a monthly fee for the alerts triggered and the data stored."
"It's a costly solution"
"The tool's pricing is very good. I could say that Microsoft offers different cost models, which are listed on the product's website."
"The tool is expensive."
"Azure Monitor is a low-priced solution, which is why it would work best on small-scale projects."
"Azure Monitor is a competitively priced solution."
"The solution is very costly because you have to pay for various things such as adding to logs and internet alerts."
"I would rate Azure Monitor a two out of five for affordability."
"CloudVision is an expensive product. We purchase its yearly license."
"CloudVision is an expensive product. We purchase its yearly license."
