We performed a comparison between Azure Monitor and SolarWinds AppOptics based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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 dashboard allows us to easily track various metrics and quickly understand the overall health of our system."
"Good load and metrics gathering and very good analysis."
"Azure Monitor is very stable."
"Data exporting is easy, and this tool works seamlessly with other solutions. It's a stable and low-priced solution."
"It is a move-in powerful feature compared to other market-leading tools."
"Azure Monitor's best features are its graphs and charts, the different visibility options, and reporting."
"The upside to the solution is if you are working in a Microsoft or Azure environment, it makes things easier."
"The reporting of the solution is very good."
"Some of the most valuable features of SolarWinds are the topology discovery and network performance analysis."
"The product has a great dashboard."
"Technical support is always live and they're supportive."
"I have found the most valuable feature is application performance management."
"The sum solution, NTA, and DPA."
"We encounter some difficulties in monitoring the operating system on its own."
"In my opinion, they should improve the overall user experience, especially when it comes to indexing and searching collective logs."
"This solution has fewer features than some of its competitors, so adding more features to it would make it better."
"Azure Monitor's integration with applications could be improved."
"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."
"They need to work with other cloud providers - not just Azure."
"The solution should have cross-connection or cross-communication between tech partners."
"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."
"The solution should be more user-friendly."
"AppOptics would benefit from having a much more centralized view."
"The implementation needs improvement. It needs to get modernized with the newer cloud scenario in both public and private deployment models."
"The integration with Unix services should be a bit more straightforward."
"I would like to see more integration with other tools that are available on the market."
"In terms of the technology, I think they need to put some more advanced troubleshooting into SolarWinds, in terms of AI capabilities. That's the next generation, especially in the cases of APIs which have already adopted AI capabilities into their products."
