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.

Provides a stable solution but would improve by developing an all-in-one-solution
The advice I would give to anyone looking at implementing Netreo into their organization would be to do your market research and evaluate the product, do not just choose it because someone recommends it to you. Overall, from my perspective, I would rate the solution a seven out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The upside to the solution is if you are working in a Microsoft or Azure environment, it makes things easier."
"We like the monitoring, we can look for the downtimes and look at the log to see whenever there is a crash and all the information around it."
"I find the query language in this tool very beneficial, as it allows me to customize some dashboards and create alerts according to my thresholds and metrics."
"Azure Monitor is a monitoring solution that you should not miss out on the second you move workflows, solutions, infrastructure, and much more onto the cloud."
"The solution's most valuable features are its ability to focus on delivery and maximizing the performance of applications and services."
"A product that is well-integrated for monitoring Microsoft Azure."
"Recently, they have improved their integration with other resources, so we get even more robust data."
"From a business standpoint, I think the ability to see where your users are is valuable."
"The technical support team at Netreo is pretty good."
 

Cons

"They should include advanced logging on the database level in the Azure pool."
"The initial setup for Azure Monitor is quite complex."
"This is a good product but it is not very user-friendly at this stage."
"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."
"Azure Monitor could improve by adding capabilities for data observability and integrating more tightly with their data platform components."
"There is room for improvement in stability."
"In my opinion, they should improve the overall user experience, especially when it comes to indexing and searching collective logs."
"The default interface should be improved."
"The scalability of Netreo is lacking."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Regarding pricing, Azure Monitor is free with Azure license, so there are no additional costs for using it."
"The cost of Azure Monitor application performance should be less expensive."
"It is a pay-as-you-go model. I find it very cost-effective."
"There is a monthly fee for the alerts triggered and the data stored."
"The Azure Insight is a little bit expensive."
"Azure Monitor is one of the more cost effective solutions on the market."
"Azure Monitor is a low-priced solution, which is why it would work best on small-scale projects."
"Azure Monitor is cheaper compared to other third-party monitoring tools."
