Telemetry insights have improved how I track user behavior and application performance daily
I feel Azure Monitor does a fair job. I do feel it is not a streaming service in my opinion. There are advantages to having stream messaging and logging on that level. But for what it is, I feel it does well. My perspective is more based on an Application Insights agent running on a service or an app service and sending the telemetry via the agent, and also doing the filtering of telemetry at the agent level so you are not having a ton of telemetry. I believe Azure Monitor does pretty much the same thing. I have also used tools such as New Relic, and New Relic is a much more robust tool, but that is a different product and you are going to pay for that. It is a different offering altogether. The subscription that we had at the time allowed for a couple gigabytes of telemetry during the month, and I believe that telemetry only lives for about two months. You have to experiment with it to see how much you want to pay. I was not really involved in the pricing. It was more along the lines of we were running up against our limits in terms of the amount of free telemetry or telemetry that we get with our subscription, and so we either needed to scale back or turn specific telemetry types off or do some more sampling. It is nice that those capabilities are there so that you can reduce the amount of telemetry. I cannot really speak to pricing but I do believe that it is somewhat reasonable for Azure Monitor. New Relic is pretty expensive, I believe.

Provides a stable solution but would improve by developing an all-in-one-solution
The advice I would give to anyone looking at implementing Netreo into their organization would be to do your market research and evaluate the product, do not just choose it because someone recommends it to you. Overall, from my perspective, I would rate the solution a seven out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The ease of access in Azure is significant since it's native to the platform and easy to integrate."
"Good load and metrics gathering and very good analysis."
"The solution's most valuable features are its ability to focus on delivery and maximizing the performance of applications and services."
"I am monitoring all of my Azure Monitor and getting good reports. I can customize the reports to get the information I need. I am also getting emails about which AAS instances are down and everything in the system related to my services. It is easy to use, scalable, and user-friendly. Microsoft has Many guides and videos to help you understand how to create and use Azure Monitor."
"Azure Monitor is a monitoring solution that you should not miss out on the second you move workflows, solutions, infrastructure, and much more onto the cloud."
"It is a move-in powerful feature compared to other market-leading tools."
"The features that are most valuable are the alerting function and also the logging functionality to analyze certain issues using log analytics"
"It is a robust, stable product."
"The technical support team at Netreo is pretty good."
 

Cons

"No improvements are needed from my perspective."
"As a younger product it still has room for feature improvement and enhancement."
"In my opinion, they should improve the overall user experience, especially when it comes to indexing and searching collective logs."
"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."
"This is a good product but it is not very user-friendly at this stage."
"If I contact the First Line Support, they seem disconnected and lack technical information."
"Azure Monitor's integration with applications could be improved."
"The solution needs better monitoring. It requires better log controls."
"The scalability of Netreo is lacking."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"My company is okay with the current pricing of the solution."
"The solution is expensive, but it is worth the price."
"The solution is very costly because you have to pay for various things such as adding to logs and internet alerts."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"Besides standard licensing fees the customer needs to additionally pay based on the ingested data size"
"Its cost depends on the ingestion of the logs. It could go anywhere. For an out-of-the-box platform such as FrameFlow, you pay pretty much a fixed price and you get what you get, whereas, with something like Azure Monitor, you pay by the ingestion charge, so you can have one client who pays hardly anything for the same alerts, and another client pays loads and loads."
"The Azure Insight is a little bit expensive."
"Azure Monitor is one of the more cost effective solutions on the market."
