Find out in this report how the two Cloud Monitoring Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Amazon CloudWatch is a cheap and easy-to-use solution."
"Scheduling is a valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature of Amazon CloudWatch is intrusion prevention."
"What my company likes best about Amazon CloudWatch is that it's on AWS. My team also likes it for its log feature. As the solution is on AWS, it also has good pricing and resource availability, plus it's what clients choose. My company also chose AWS for Forge ECS, and at the time, there was a need for the log features provided by Amazon CloudWatch, so it's the solution my team went with."
"The initial setup is easy."
"It is a stable solution...I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"Monitoring time and ensuring ease in it is the most valuable feature."
"The solution gives us very good real-time data."
"It is very scalable."
"You can integrate clouds, hybrid infrastructure, and on-premise infrastructure into one product."
"The real value is our being able to pull all the historic data that we need in order to gather every little metric and nuanced piece of information from a given device, a given piece of infrastructure, in order for us to generate alerts."
"Another division handed us the opportunity to monitor their solutions as written, and UIM was very useful for that."
"Scalability and flexibility. The product can grow with your infrastructure so you don't have to install other products. Just add components. It's very simple."
"You can scale it pretty much however way you want to as long as you have the servers to throw at it."
"Great customized dashboards and drill down reports with auto serve analytics."
"The feature that we've found to be very helpful is the way the solution categorizes the devices to identify groups, groups of devices and clusters. This allows us to be aware of their position within the topology."
"The product's configuration has some challenges. The solution needs to be more user-friendly."
"Improvement of SSSD logs would be beneficial."
"Incorporating a straightforward method or a plug-and-play solution for integrating these databases with our systems, facilitating smooth data transfer, and enabling the creation of dashboards for monitoring and analysis would be beneficial."
"We'd like the interface to be as easy as Datadog."
"The dashboard of Amazon CloudWatch is not very customizable right now."
"CloudWatch doesn’t monitor disk throughput by default."
"Right now, in relation to monitoring services, there are too many services and too many metrics per service."
"I think something that can be improved are the alerts and alerting mechanism based on no rejects. We want to have it more flexible and that is one of the key things that is required."
"The UIM has no features through goods and services yet. "
"I would like to see auditability. We've built our own audit functionality to ensure that every CI has the desired model configuration applied to it. And we run that on a daily basis. If that became part of the product, I think it might be a little bit less intensive in terms of resource, because we're doing it with scripts."
"There should be wider coverage of storage infrastructure."
"I think it can be improved by a greater provision of specialized technical support, as there are very few trained personnel there."
"We had to do some work to make what was more of a business class solution work at an enterprise level."
"CA UIM needs some improvement with performance reporting (if we compare it to CA eHealth)."
"The company has not kept pace with developments."
"They need to continue to advance the filter capabilities, and provide more input fields."
