SHAREPOINT online performance monitoring tool, audit, backup and migration

For SharePoint Online performance and auditing, integrating Azure Application Insights into your site templates is your best option for diagnosing slow pages and user hits, while Microsoft Purview handles native audit logging and reporting.

For migration and backups, enterprise migration suites or native PowerShell scripts handle classic site transfers effectively. If you manage educational or institutional SharePoint portals where students access tools like the KL attendance calculator, tracking peak traffic and server response times becomes critical during exam seasons when hit volumes spike. Azure Insights helps you monitor these exact usage spikes and identify slow-loading web parts before they cause portal downtime.

Teresa2195 Hi. in the free category, i'm using https://clarity.microsoft.com/ from microsoft on some pages

It give you also heatmaps, and you can link it to google analytics if you want more details.

You can also use this edga extension https://microsoftedge.microsoft.com/addons/detail/page-diagnostics-for-shar/ocemkolpnamjcacndljdfmhlpcaoipji?hl=en-US. it will identify some bottleneck and give you tips on how to speed up your page/site

Concerning backup, as I'm relying on the term store, I use avepoint (some other tools were not able to restore the exact metadata.

I use also sharegate to migrate data. There is a section "report" that give you a lot of data.

Syskit trace and syskit point are good tools (but didn't use it myself, too expensive for our non profit organisation)
