But generally application monitoring tools provided by cloud vendors like MSFT, AMZN, etc. are very tied to that particular cloud - and are not as advanced as independent APM product like DataDog. Also, some users prefer to keep monitoring independent of cloud vendors so that its easier to change cloud vendors and have a multi-cloud strategy
