"A product that is well-integrated for monitoring Microsoft Azure."
"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."
"I use the solution to monitor the infrastructure and applications."
"Technical support is good and helpful...The initial setup is easy."
"Azure Monitor is really just a source for Dynatrace. It's just collecting data and monitoring the environment and the infrastructure. It is fairly good at that."
"The upside to the solution is if you are working in a Microsoft or Azure environment, it makes things easier."
"The most valuable feature is the universality of their functionalities in all Azure services, including, software solutions."
"Having standard monitoring features and a central repository saves us a lot of time and reduces risk of incidents."
"Real time database monitoring and alerting are valuable."
"Capacity on database and file servers. I found the algorithms to forecast growth and concerns particularly intuitive."
"FxV is valuable as we can playback the session."
"The most valuable feature is drill-down monitoring, which shows us from one interface the transaction chain from the front end to back end."
"Intuitive, Single-pane-of-glass dashboards for real-time statistics and long-term statistics for capacity management and in-depth analytics"
"At a glance I can easily see what is going on with all of my VMware environments, including top consumers of resources."
"Dell Foglight does analyze and optimize your virtual infrastructure. It definitely reduces operational cost."
"It's really complex to retrieve or query the logs in Azure Monitor."
"We encounter some difficulties in monitoring the operating system on its own."
"They should include advanced logging on the database level in the Azure pool."
"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."
"Azure Monitor could improve the visualization aspect and integrate better with other third-party services."
"The query builder could be better. In comparison to other monitoring tools, in order to use Azure Monitor, your engineers need to have KQL experience. If they don't, it's not intuitive as a system."
"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."
"In my opinion, they should improve the overall user experience, especially when it comes to indexing and searching collective logs."
"It needs a more intuitive way to create and implement custom "Cartridges" to be deployed through out a Federated environment."
"They need to improve the stability of FxM and FxV."
"I would perhaps like to see more SSMS connections."
"Being able to incorporate other bespoke monitoring into Foglight would have made the tool even more useful."
"We are running a Webmethods stack (Software AG) and Foglight is unable to instrument. We are in a POC with Dynatrace and it was able to instrument with little effort."
"The “cartridge” concept for every little thing is a bit of a bother to implement."
"There are some metrics I'd like to track that are difficult to find or implement into a tracking solution without a lot of manual work."
"I want to see mobile access application in the next release."
