We performed a comparison between Amazon CloudWatch and DX Unified Infrastructure Management based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."The solution effectively monitors golden signals like CPU, page requests, and queues."
"The most valuable feature of Amazon CloudWatch is the monitoring and UI."
"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."
"Setting up this product was easy. I found data analytics as its most valuable feature."
"It is a robust analytical tool and it goes beyond mere functionality and extends into the realm of providing comprehensive insights."
"CloudWatch immediately hooks up and connects to the KPIs and all the metrics."
"The tool's UI is good. One can scroll through the logs very easily."
"We can set CPU thresholds using the solution."
"It is easy to implement but requires good planning."
"You can scale it pretty much however way you want to as long as you have the servers to throw at it."
"DX UIM is scalable."
"Easy admin functionality. You can quickly do all the admin functionality without reducing cycles."
"It is the foundation for our monitoring solution."
"Another division handed us the opportunity to monitor their solutions as written, and UIM was very useful for that."
"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."
"It is very scalable."
"The solution's integration could be easier for laypersons."
"Amazon CloudWatch needs improvement. The main thing is we have noticed missing logs."
"The dashboard and the UI could improve in Amazon CloudWatch. Additionally, they should focus on visibility inside the servers with AI and machine learning integrations. This would allow users who are using the solution to see what is happening within the system better."
"What would make Amazon CloudWatch better is if it includes more on-site checks, particularly status checks on the CPU, network input/output, etc. It would also be helpful if there's built-in swap space, disk, and memory monitoring in Amazon CloudWatch because, at the moment, my team has to configure it manually through a shell script."
"The technical support must be improved."
"CloudWatch's scalability could be improved."
"The solution should provide human-readable metrics."
"I would like to monitor inbound and outbound transfer. I would also like to control the traffic for load balancing."
"Currently lacks a mobile application which would be helpful."
"Stability."
"We want to see more investment in the UI and the dashboard."
"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."
"The company has not kept pace with developments."
"In the UMP, certain devices will show up multiple times and they don't correlate correctly. That's one of the issues."
"A useful feature to have would be automatic configuration per standard by new robots that check in for any particular customer."
"We had to do some work to make what was more of a business class solution work at an enterprise level."
