Cons
"The scalability could be improved as there are some limitations.""When something goes down, we want the option to have automation in place to get it back up again as quickly as possible.""This solution has fewer features than some of its competitors, so adding more features to it would make it better.""The biggest one is probably just the user interface. There could be more advanced logging at the database level. They can also improve their query builder to allow you to search for things better, but I last used it about a year ago. They might have already changed a ton of things in the newer versions.""They need to work with other cloud providers - not just Azure.""The troubleshooting logs need improvement. There should be some improvement there. I have a hard time finding the right logs at the right times whenever there is an issue occurring.""In my opinion, they should improve the overall user experience, especially when it comes to indexing and searching collective logs.""Azure Monitor could improve network performance monitoring and make it more advanced."
