"Azure Log Analytics has given us insight we didn't have before!"
3/5
What do you like best about Azure Monitor?

The platform is fairly flexible in allowing you to collect data from a variety of sources into a single view that can then be queried against for patterns of information or specific event details. It is also fairly inexpensive to use/store the logs using this service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Azure Monitor?

While it is quite powerful and flexible, it can also be a bit exhausting at times trying to figure out what data sources can even be linked, and how to do it. The interface in the Azure portal has easy integrations into Azure VMs and such, but beyond that it is a bit more tedious to determine where and how it can be used and integrated. It would be nice if they had more templates or examples. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Powerful query and search tool to gain insights from data"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Azure Monitor?

The tool requires no setup at all as there is a web offering available. It plays well with other Microsoft apps. Configuring insights for one of the apps lets you analyze the app data using an overview console. It comes with a demo environment and sample data which makes it very user friendly and smoothens the learning curve. It offers a REST API as well to run queries programmatically. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Azure Monitor?

Data in log analytics can't be directly accessed from insights. The user interface is not that intuitive. The tool however provides lots of samples to lessen the learning curve problem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Azure Insight & Analytics"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Azure Monitor?

The ease of collecting data from various data sources in real-time and in batch mode, irrespective of the type, size, location of the data source. This is one of the tools built for ease of use and comprehensive enough to cater to any of our insight needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Azure Monitor?

There is nothing glaring as such, but for record, I believe the product is going to enhance in terms of dashboarding capabilities as well as data collection capabilities. For now, I believe it's a very good product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Consolidated monitoring solution in Azure."
3.5/5
What do you like best about Azure Monitor?

Great successor for Azure Log Analytics and application insights, allows the same possibilities but within a single tool without moving the data back and forth to get it collected and analyzed. Allows creating your own solution as well as using solutions from the gallery. Integration with lots of monitoring and analysis tools like machine learning, allows for deeper insights across your deployments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Azure Monitor?

A bit complex for first time, and pre-built solutions from gallery could be not enough for some particular cases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Azure - analytics made easy"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Azure Monitor?

The product offers several functions like analytics, service monitoring, anomaly detection, workload planning etc. The fact that they've decent customer service makes things go smooth and easy. The analytics tool is quite powerful and also the monitoring tools perform quite effectively. Although, using this tool require special expertise to carry out the tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Azure Monitor?

The main limitation of this product is monitoring. We cannot monitor several servers, application very effectively at once. Although, they've basic monitoring structure for this purpose, but it is not as effective as needed. There are also some limitations associated with notifications or alerts, but they're minor and not big. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Powerful application monitoring"
4/5
What do you like best about Azure Monitor?

This is an excellent tool from Microsoft that ties in nicely if you are already using their web app ecosystem. You can get depth of information, including live monitoring of the app performance, but also custom performance queries and historical data. It's a new tool for us, coming from New Relic, but it looks promising. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Azure Monitor?

Microsoft unfortunately cannot design an intuitive user interface to save their lives. Everything has to have that "special touch", such as a blades design for the Azure portal. Once you get past the learning curve the tool is extremely useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
