Muhammad Usman Khawar - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

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

"I am monitoring all of my Azure Monitor and getting good reports. I can customize the reports to get the information I need. I am also getting emails about which AAS instances are down and everything in the system related to my services. It is easy to use, scalable, and user-friendly. Microsoft has Many guides and videos to help you understand how to create and use Azure Monitor."
"The security and support are good."
"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."
"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."
"The solution integrates well with the Microsoft platform."
"Good load and metrics gathering and very good analysis."
"Log analytics and log queries are the most valuable features of Azure Monitor."
"The solution is quite stable."
"The technical support team at Netreo is pretty good."
 

Cons

"Azure Monitor could improve network performance monitoring and make it more advanced."
"I believe Azure Monitor is already a top-notch solution with excellent functionality and there is not much I would suggest for improvement. However, there is one limitation that certain features require payment, even for testing purposes, which can be a challenge."
"The onboarding process of certain assets and the overall UI can be improved in Azure Monitor"
"The solution needs better monitoring. It requires better log controls."
"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."
"The pricing model could be more flexible."
"What I feel is when I open a screen of Azure, some places are very complex to navigate to. It is not very user-friendly when it comes to accessing certain sections."
"When something goes down, we want the option to have automation in place to get it back up again as quickly as possible."
"The scalability of Netreo is lacking."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Azure Monitor's price is minimal to the point of being almost negligible."
"My company is okay with the current pricing of the solution."
"I would rate Azure Monitor a two out of five for affordability."
"It's a costly solution"
"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."
"Regarding pricing, Azure Monitor is free with Azure license, so there are no additional costs for using it."
"The solution is a pay-as-you-go consumption service and is the least expensive in the market."
"The solution’s pricing depends on how much logs it collects."
