What differentiates Microsoft Azure Monitor from other similar products?

Being able to integrate with the Microsoft suite, Azure is special because it makes multiple cloud services seamlessly work as one. You can transfer other OS and IT information to Azure when you make the switch to this program

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The scalability of Azure is a highlight that has not been beaten by other cloud based drivers. The ability to fully tranform the consumer experience digitally was a highlight and benefit

What do you dislike most about this product?

Training is not free which was off-putting as I tried to navigate getting my team and organization on board with the operating system - especially since we were used to Amazon and Apple OS.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Make sure to give permissions to other systems and apps to get the data transferred over. This streamlined to time to get our usage of Azure off the ground

Pros

Reliable
Performance Enhancing
Enables Productivity
