We performed a comparison between Azure Monitor and SolarWinds Pingdom based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Management (APM)."The breakdown of the response time of different components and getting in-depth details of the slow component are the most valuable features. It is easy to use, and it gets the job done."
"The most valuable features are the dashboards and tracing."
"The simplicity of the dashboard is very good."
"It does everything we wanted it to do."
"We like the performance of the product."
"To me, the most valuable feature of New Relic APM is the traceability, mainly based on the time travel method, so you get the overall response time, which is pretty helpful for developers and ADR techs looking into issues on a deeper level. New Relic APM is a very good, tailor-made solution."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to receive in-depth information about applications. It can detect a lot of important information."
"The stability of New Relic APM is very good."
"The most valuable features of Azure Monitor are the login analytics workspace and we can write any kind of custom queries in order to receive the data that is inserted into the login analytics workspace, diagnostic settings, et cetera."
"It has good troubleshooting features."
"The feature that I found most valuable in Azure Monitor is its monitoring abilities. With Azure Monitor, you are able to monitor all of your cloud resources across multiple subscriptions in one dashboard and create solution-specific alerts that can trigger an email to the team responsible for that specific solution."
"You can scale the product."
"It is a move-in powerful feature compared to other market-leading tools."
"Data exporting is easy, and this tool works seamlessly with other solutions. It's a stable and low-priced solution."
"One of the most useful aspects of this solution is the out-of-the-box functionality on all areas, especially on Application Insights, zero instrumentation, and artificial intelligence for event correlation."
"Provides an overview and high-level information."
"Once you set the threshold on your environment, it feels very real-time"
"I would like the ability to set up certain dummy accounts and do the actual things that the customer is doing, without impacting the production environment."
"New Relic APM can improve the information when we dig deeper to check a problem. There should be more detailed information provided."
"There has been some problem with the agent, and it is just not working well. It is not able to record information with the application server. They have been able to fix the issue, but it took quite a long time. This is the main issue in the APM products and also in New Relic. The mobile application monitoring has been pretty difficult to set up and also quite expensive. It should be a little bit easier and cheaper. Because it is pretty difficult and expensive, many customers don't take it."
"One thing that we noticed was that historical information was only for a limited period, which was not helpful in certain scenarios. For example, if I want to size my system for an event for New Year or Christmas season based on the historical data, I won't be able to find the historical data. Currently, the data is limited to three months. It would be helpful if they can provide historical data for a longer duration so that we can plan our system accordingly."
"We would like a dashboard feature to be created for this product. This would allow us to monitor both the front and back-end of our UIs performance, and then report on it."
"New Relic APM could improve error debugging and the correlation with the logs. We are receiving some alerts or alarms but we need to correlate with the error log, but it is difficult if it is more than seven months retention period, it is hard to trace. We need this especially for getting historical information."
"It is a serious tool and requires a lot of time invested in order to understand how it works."
"The solution could improve by having more network monitoring features, such as for all the infrastructure."
"They need to work with other cloud providers - not just Azure."
"In my opinion, they should improve the overall user experience, especially when it comes to indexing and searching collective logs."
"Setting up this solution is complex. It's also missing the functionality of assigning alerts."
"Lacks information including details related to where problems lie."
"This solution has fewer features than some of its competitors, so adding more features to it would make it better."
"If it is configured incorrectly, you can end up with a huge bill."
"Azure Monitor could improve the visualization aspect and integrate better with other third-party services."
"Currently, it seems it's complicated to get the correct information in terms of what to do and how things work."
"Pingdom is always improving everything in its product. So, they should work on the GUI."
