User Testimonials
	Azure Monitor	Fortra Robot Monitor
Likelihood to Recommend	Microsoft We were able to get a single pane of glass for all our monitoring needs on Azure Monitor. However, we would like to see it improve to auto scale out and scale in depending on the load without human intervention. This can help us get to the No Ops model and rely on automated processes rather than manual intervention.

Support Rating	Microsoft I have not had to work with Azure Monitor support, so it is difficult to say how well the support team is. I assume that Azure has a well-versed team on the customer service side to assist with any issues customers may have. I may need them in the feature. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Fortra Quiet active whenever there is any help required either on chat support or Contact. Incentivized Nitish Kumar Consultant Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Microsoft While other tools have their own unique capability, Azure Monitor helps us monitor essential PAAS services that are not supported by other tools. So even though we have one other APM tool, we still rely on Azure Monitor for some of the special PAAS services, this is a huge advantage. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Fortra It's a best tool/product in the market and easy to use. It serves our purpose and saves a lot time of the resource from the manual task. The main and most important is, its support team. One of the best support team I have ever seen. Their dedicated product engineer have a good knowledge over the product and helps immediately. Incentivized Srikanth Doddapaneni Lead Consultant Read full review
Return on Investment	Microsoft We are able to react quickly to the issues. Debugging sessions are yielding quicker results to generate RCA. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Fortra Can monitor the systems in a central view. It's easy to maintain with better security to the robo commands. Cost effectiveness.
