Site24x7 Azure monitoring enables IT teams to manage over 100 Azure products using the Azure Monitor REST API in near real time, thus making it valuable for IT teams to gain actionable alerts, reduce resolution time, and gain visibility into their hybrid clouds. With the introduction of the Site24x7 chatbot for Microsoft Teams, DevOps and application owners will be able to get the health status of critical applications in their familiar workplace chat room.

“ChatOps scenarios built on Microsoft Teams empower users to collaborate, share critical documents and applications, and communicate in real time.

Many organizations are adopting a hybrid cloud environment, creating the need to monitor a growing mix of both on-premises and multiple cloud infrastructures. The global hybrid cloud market overall is expected to grow from $44.60 billion in 2018 to $97.64 billion by 2023, according to B2B research company Markets and Markets.

Site24x7’s AI-driven monitoring capability brings together developers, application teams, and IT operations into a single efficient, secure location in Microsoft Teams for quick problem identification all the way to resolution.”
