Microsoft Azure Management

Azure Monitor

Azure Monitor handles unified observability across hybrid and multicloud setups, delivering real-time insights to optimize performance and scale operations. It aggregates data from diverse environments, providing the visibility needed to manage complex infrastructure effectively.

This service suits teams operating across multiple clouds who need centralized monitoring without vendor lock-in. The main friction point is the lack of a free tier; you pay from the start, with costs beginning at $10.00 per 1M units on a pay-as-you-go model.
