We performed a comparison between Azure Monitor and SolarWinds NPM based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud Monitoring Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution works well overall. It's easy to implement and simple to use."
"In the last company where I worked about a year ago, it looked very simple."
"The solution very easily integrates with Azure services and in one click you can monitor your resource."
"A product that is well-integrated for monitoring Microsoft Azure."
"Technical support is good and helpful...The initial setup is easy."
"Azure Monitor is a very easy-to-use product in the cloud environment."
"The tools for logs and metrics are pretty good and easy to use."
"The most valuable feature is that it's stable. It hasn't crossed any thresholds."
"The nice thing about SolarWinds is that it's kind of all-in-one. I can manage the status of my networking devices, whether they are up or down, I can see how much traffic is going across an interface, and I can run a report that tells me exactly what that traffic is."
"The stability is fantastic."
"The product is scalable."
"It gives us a map of the network setup and one console to see the entire network."
"We have configured multiple alerts for our network devices, including routers and switches, so that we are notified if any interface goes down."
"The solution is very user-friendly."
"You can monitor performance counters effortlessly."
"The interface is user-friendly, making it easy to use."
"When something goes down, we want the option to have automation in place to get it back up again as quickly as possible."
"We cannot use AI services with the solution."
"The monitoring of Kubernetes clusters needs improvement to be on par with competitors."
"There is room for improvement in stability."
"The solution should have cross-connection or cross-communication between tech partners."
"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."
"We encounter some difficulties in monitoring the operating system on its own."
"There isn't support available to us as they don't offer support in our country."
"We'd like to see a bit more automation in the future."
"Complex and overly detailed setup."
"The scalability can be better."
"It would be nice to have a test to check if you can access a particular device via API without installing it and waiting for a poll cycle. You should have the capacity to initiate a test to see if it was reachable and get the results almost immediately."
"The root cause analysis and installation faults are not clear."
"If they’re going for a “cover everything” approach, then they need to do so and enable a bit more of the "cover everything approach" within every one of the tools."
"The improvement would be that SolarWinds NPM thoroughly checks its patches before releasing them to the market. Better testing, alpha testing, and then releasing it to the market."
