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."It's a very simple logging system."
"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."
"Monitoring time and ensuring ease in it is the most valuable feature."
"Setting up this product was easy. I found data analytics as its most valuable feature."
"I can put it in a simple term, its simplicity is always there."
"The solution is easy to use."
"The initial setup is easy."
"We have found the pricing to be reasonable."
"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."
"It is very scalable."
"I recall the initial setup being straightforward."
"Latest version of tool comes integrated with Jaspersoft reporting solution, giving excellent reports."
"You can scale it pretty much however way you want to as long as you have the servers to throw at it."
"It is easy to implement."
"The monitoring of the applications to let our business know when things are performing and that they're up and available."
"The ability to monitor any platform. We have Windows, Linux, AIX, and mainframe all being monitored with the same UIM infrastructure."
"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."
"Improvement of SSSD logs would be beneficial."
"Amazon CloudWatch's pricing needs improvement."
"The drill-down aspect on the dashboard of the solution needs improvement. We get a very good high-level overview, but when we drill down, it becomes a little less clear. We have given this feedback to AWS as well and hope they will improve this in the future."
"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."
"Better reporting is always something needed. That could be an answer to just about anything. But you always want better reporting, better dashboards, things that are just more dynamic and more accessible."
"The product's configuration has some challenges. The solution needs to be more user-friendly."
"I would like to monitor inbound and outbound transfer. I would also like to control the traffic for load balancing."
"The UIM has no features through goods and services yet. "
"There is also room for improvement in the reporting. It is not really good enough, according to our customers. So what we now usually do is use Power BI to get them the kinds of reports they want."
"We would like to see automatic network topology."
"The biggest feature that I've been hoping they would enhance on is inventory management: things like adding/removing nodes."
"It needs a little bit more functionality in the Admin Console."
"In the UMP, certain devices will show up multiple times and they don't correlate correctly. That's one of the issues."
"The only challenge that I have with this solution is the reporting part. The users are not really comfortable with the kind of reports they are getting. Sometimes, they want to see reports in their own format. Customizing those reports with Jasper is not very easy. It could be because of the knowledge gap. If you have the knowledge of how Jasper can be configured to suit customer requirements in terms of reporting, it is good. There was a time a customer complained about one issue related to Netflow analysis. Broadcom has a separate model for that, but the customer wanted everything bundled together. It could also have IP management so that I am able to see or analyze IPs so that the IPs that are already in use don't get assigned."
"They need to continue to advance the filter capabilities, and provide more input fields."
