Featured Reviews

Has consistently supported integration across diverse environments and streamlined deployment processes
Microsoft Azure Synapse Analytics could improve their pricing structure. They currently have two separate pricing tiers: full log and partial log. I suggest they implement a single price and reduce charges on logs. They could implement a cap with some free tier or price tier based on the GBs of log collected. This would help customers use Azure more effectively. Microsoft Azure Synapse Analytics is an excellent product because it includes both SIEM and orchestration capabilities with playbooks, but the log management part is very costly. Regarding future improvements, I would appreciate more application connectors for integration, particularly for on-premise based solutions. Many customers still maintain on-premise infrastructure, so having more integration possibilities for these environments would be beneficial.

Standout features are real-time dashboards and powerful aggregation
This product has a powerful aggregating feature which is great. It also has its own APIs. Whenever the data comes in, it can be streamed out anywhere. It's the only solution that provides real-time dashboards. Tableau doesn't have this feature. The three variants of historical data, real-time data and predicted data from Spitfire, give more strength to LiveDatamart without any dependency on other products. The product is easy to set up with very low maintenance required.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution has been working well overall."
"The initial setup is very simple."
"The product is very user friendly."
"They are very reliable and cost-effective."
"I like SQL post, which is for storage and distributed computing. Another good feature is the copy activity."
"We've had a good experience with technical support in general."
"The usability has been excellent, it offers good integration, the product works well with other Azure products, the initial setup is very convenient, it is scalable, and we have found the solution to be stable."
"The speed is great and the architecture is excellent."
"The solution has a powerful aggregating feature"
"You can create your own rules that include mathematic calculations."
"The solution is mature and stable, even more so since it was acquired by TIBCO."
"The three variants of historical data, real-time data and predicted data from Spitfire, give more strength to LiveDatamart without any dependency on other products."
 

Cons

"Microsoft Azure Synapse Analytics's pricing could be reduced."
"The initial setup has a bit of a learning curve."
"It is difficult to configure, especially if you have multiple domains."
"Scaling this solution up and down is not quick and easy. This could be improved. The pricing of this solution could also be improved."
"Microsoft Azure Synapse Analytics can improve by increasing the size of the files that we can load on the platform."
"The security performance and cost are the two things that needs improvement."
"Microsoft Azure Synapse Analytics could improve the section in the solution where you can implement the Python Spark pipelines, it's not the same as in Databricks which would be better."
"With respect to what needs to be improved, concurrent connectivity has some limitations."
"Improvements need to be made on the load balancing side."
"The solution's setup could be quicker and easier."
"Live Datamart runs on JVM which only holds Java and only 60 GB of data. If you try to get more out of it than that, it crashes."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution could improve by having better costing information."
"Because it's cloud the cost is a different convention and the licensing costs are not the same."
"The solution is expensive at the enterprise level."
"I think Microsoft Azure Synapse Analytics is priced well, and I would rate the price at eight out of ten."
"I'm not sure of the exact cost, however, it is around $100,000 a year."
"It requires a less expensive version because currently, not every customer is able to buy it. If it could have a smaller setup that doesn't require so many resources, it would be helpful, and we would be able to use it in more cases. We are a small country, and most of our customers are quite small businesses."
"We only have to pay for what we use in the solution. It's easy for the customers. It's not more than some companies, not more than 300 to 400 users. They do not need to buy other license products, such as SAP B1, or analytics tools in the market, such as Tableau."
"I would rate the ROI a nine out of ten, where one is zero value and ten is 100% value."
"The solution might be considered a bit expensive because it competes with open-source products."
