eG Enterprise provides you peace of mind when deploying key business applications in the cloud and in the Azure eco-system:
With eG Enterprise, more than 70% of the time we can respond to an event and resolve the issue before the customer engages support. That results in about a 15 to 20% cost avoidance for us. eG Enterprise drastically improves our performance from an SLA standpoint.
eG Enterprise leverages Azure APIs to gather in-depth performance diagnostics and presents them on an intuitive web-based dashboard for performance analysis and problem resolution.
eG Enterprise provides deep visibility into the performance and resource utilization metrics of Azure VMs (Windows and Linux).
Azure monitoring focuses on tracking the health of all the key IT services hosted on Azure Cloud. Detection and alerting of problems, root-cause diagnosis, reports and analytics are also included in Azure monitoring tools.
Yes, the cloud service provider does monitor the health of the key infrastructure they use for delivering their cloud services. But problems you may face on Azure could be unique to your instance, or your database instance. The cloud service provider SLAs are only around uptime of their service, not around performance, and will not help you diagnose problems with applications you have hosted on Azure. Here’s a whitepaper on 6 myths of cloud performance monitoring that explains it further.
Azure Monitor is Azure's native monitoring tool that can monitor your applications hosted on Azure and the Azure infrastructure. Azure Monitor can be to get useful dashboards and reports, but setting up the monitoring can be time-consuming and challenging. Manual setup is needed, and admins need to specify each metric and threshold. Furthermore, there is a cost per metric and even based on the type of threshold. This is where a third-party Azure monitoring tool like eG Enterprise helps. It is simple to setup, licensing is not per metric and you can even monitor multi-cloud deployments from a central console.
AWS CloudWatch allows you to monitor your AWS services. To monitor Azure services, you can use Azure Monitor. If you want to monitor both AWS and Azure services in a single console, then you will need a multi-cloud monitoring tool like eG Enterprise.
You can set up Azure Monitor to monitor your costs. Alternatively you can monitor Azure resource costs using a third-party monitoring tool like eG Enterprise.
You can use Azure Monitor but it requires a lot of manual configuration to setup the PaaS metrics, thresholds and alerts. Alternatively, you can use an Azure monitoring tool like eG Enterprise which monitors Azure PaaS services but requires very little manual set up.
The metrics of importance will depend on the Azure services that you are using. For Azure compute instances, it is important to track VM status, CPU utilization, IOPS, and network throughput. For Azure SQL, it is important to track Log IO usage, Data IO usage, utilization of workers and sessions and DTU used vs. limit.
CPU utilization, IOPS, throughput, etc. can be monitored using Azure APIs (i.e., agentless). However, if you need to know which application is taking CPU or causing disk IOPS, you will need an agent to be deployed on the Azure instance. Furthermore, Azure APIs do not provide any memory utilization metrics. An agent on the Azure instance can provide an indication of memory utilization (this metric can help you understand if you have sized your VM correctly). Agents are also required if you need to monitor applications running on the Azure instances.
The best Azure monitoring tool is one that best meets your requirements. If your entire technology stack is on Azure and you have the time and resources to manually configure thresholds and alerts, then Azure Monitor is a good option. If you have a hybrid cloud or multi-cloud environment, or you want to minimize configuration and cost of the monitoring tool, then a third-party monitoring tool like eG Enterprise is preferred.
