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.

Helps to find devices that are lost but improvement is needed in mapping
The tool's deployment is easy. There are lots of documents and support available online. I help deploy Workspace ONE Intelligence. It's not hard to deploy since we've done it many times. We use the on-premises solution now. Basic deployment takes one day, but adding features like tunneling takes an extra day. The main challenge is network connectivity. The documentation is good and available online.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"You can scale the product."
"A product that is well-integrated for monitoring Microsoft Azure."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"Azure Monitor's best features are its graphs and charts, the different visibility options, and reporting."
"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."
"In the last company where I worked about a year ago, it looked very simple."
"Some good integration capabilities are present in the tool."
"The solution integrates well with the Microsoft platform."
"Integration is also very easy."
"I would rate Workspace ONE Intelligence nine out of ten."
"The tool's most valuable feature is its tunneling capability. It is good for inventory, encryption, device location, and kiosk mode. If a device is lost, you can find it. We integrated it with a third-party tool for one-time passwords and two-factor authentication. The user-friendly interface makes device management easy."
 

Cons

"No improvements are needed from my perspective."
"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."
"The scalability could be improved as there are some limitations."
"Integration with third-party tools from other vendors than Azure is more time-consuming"
"In terms of pricing, Azure Monitor's billing based on data size can sometimes lead to increased costs, especially when developers need to purge data frequently. While there are mechanisms in place to track and manage this, there is room for improvement in terms of optimizing data pausing and related processes. Enhancements in this area could help mitigate potential billing concerns and provide a more seamless experience for users."
"In my opinion, they should improve the overall user experience, especially when it comes to indexing and searching collective logs."
"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."
"One area for improvement is location mapping - it uses Bing Maps instead of Google Maps, which isn't always up to date. Device enrollment can also be challenging, especially for older devices that need a factory reset."
"Support could be improved for Workspace, especially the technical part, and it needs to ensure that issues can be resolved within one or two days."
"Windows devices management needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product offers a pay-as-you-go model to users. The charges are to be paid according to the usage of the product."
"Since we are using the basic set, it is more cost-effective compared to other third-party APM solutions."
"The solution is expensive, but it is worth the price."
"Azure Monitor is a low-priced solution, which is why it would work best on small-scale projects."
"My company is okay with the current pricing of the solution."
"The licensing is a monthly fee."
"It is a pay-as-you-go model. I find it very cost-effective."
"The tool's pricing is very good. I could say that Microsoft offers different cost models, which are listed on the product's website."
"The solution is cost-effective. Workspace ONE Intelligence is neither cheap nor expensive. Compared to other tools like MaaS360, it Is more cost-effective. It costs about seven dollars per user, while others might cost $50—a big difference."
