Native integration simplifies monitoring but documentation and cost improvements are needed

The ease of access in Azure is significant since it's native to the platform and easy to integrate. It has no maintenance overhead, and users don't have to navigate to another portal to get their desired result. It's the handiness that it has, rather than the features. The interpretation from the logs and injection requires custom runbooks. While it's complex, many services provide native insights and workbooks. It does the basic job quite efficiently. They added new kinds of metrics with more integrations to send out metrics. They have even added support for third-party tools that can be integrated. Azure Monitor is working on improvements and becoming more mature. Azure Monitor is stable and scalable. Azure Monitor is evolving with new workbooks and dashboards.

It consolidates all logs into one place and provides required features and functionalities

Every once in a while, our IBM cloud operational implementation gets behind. Sometimes, when we have a customer event, we do not get access to the latest logs for about 30 minutes, particularly for the sites that are heavily utilized. This is clearly not good. It is impossible to do RCA when you can't look at the logs that pertain to the time period in which the event occurred. It could be more of an operational problem than a feature problem. I don't have visibility about whether it is a LogDNA issue or just an operational issue.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"Azure Monitor is very stable."

"The tool's most valuable feature is the alert system, which can be set according to our metrics. The integration is smooth."

"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."

"Azure Monitor is useful because of the useful application insights and telemetry, such as metrics and logs."

"I use the solution to monitor the infrastructure and applications."

"It's a Microsoft native tool, so it works well with other Microsoft technologies, which is predominantly what our customer end-user base is."

"One of the most useful aspects of this solution is the out-of-the-box functionality on all areas, especially on Application Insights, zero instrumentation, and artificial intelligence for event correlation."

"The most valuable feature is that it ensures our servers are up."

More Azure Monitor pros

"The solution aggregates all event streams, so that if there are any issues, it's all in the same interface."

"LogDNA consolidates all logs into one place, which is super valuable."

Cons

"Using Azure Monitor and Azure Arc separately to monitor different environments can be complicated."

"No improvements are needed from my perspective."

"This solution could be improved with more out-of-the-box functionalities and artificial intelligence to complete event correlation."

"They should include advanced logging on the database level in the Azure pool."

"Azure Monitor can improve by adding some kind of storage for logs."

"The default interface should be improved."

"Although it's not always the case, the price can sometimes get expensive. This depends on a number of factors, such as how many services you are trying to integrate with Azure Monitor and how much storage they're consuming each month (for example, how large are the log files?)."

"The process of implementation needs to be easier."

More Azure Monitor cons

"Every once in a while, our IBM cloud operational implementation gets behind. Sometimes, when we have a customer event, we do not get access to the latest logs for about 30 minutes, particularly for the sites that are heavily utilized. This is clearly not good. It is impossible to RCA when you can't look at the logs that pertain to the time period in which the event occurred. It could be more of an operational problem than a feature problem. I don't have visibility about whether it is a LogDNA issue or just an operational issue."

"No ability to encapsulate a query or a filter, and communicate or share that among the team."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool is expensive."

"Customers of Azure Monitor must pay an amount that depends largely on how many services they need to integrate and the storage space required in terms of logs, etc. If they only have a few small services to monitor, the price won't be too high, but on the opposite side of the spectrum, it can certainly get pricey."

"My company is okay with the current pricing of the solution."

"The solution is very costly because you have to pay for various things such as adding to logs and internet alerts."

"The tool's pricing is very good. I could say that Microsoft offers different cost models, which are listed on the product's website."

"There is a monthly fee for the alerts triggered and the data stored."

"It's a costly solution"

"Regarding pricing, Azure Monitor is free with Azure license, so there are no additional costs for using it."
