We performed a comparison between Amazon CloudWatch, BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management, and Zabbix based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Zabbix, New Relic and others in Cloud Monitoring Software."What I found most valuable in Amazon CloudWatch is that it gives you detailed information, which I found helpful because it can even provide you with data for the past one minute, which is quite granular. That was what helped me most in terms of finding the root causes. Task automation is another valuable feature of Amazon CloudWatch."
"It is a robust analytical tool and it goes beyond mere functionality and extends into the realm of providing comprehensive insights."
"Most of it's around optimizing utilization, their cloud utilization. They're making sure that they're getting the most out of their in-cloud environments and their instances. Making sure that there's no strange behavior in the environment."
"Our team finds it overall quite useful."
"I have found the memory metrics and the CPU metrics valuable."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The tool's UI is good. One can scroll through the logs very easily."
"We can set CPU thresholds using the solution."
"By allowing end users to request their own services, the request process for systems is much quicker and more accurate."
"CLM has a multi-cloud portal because they have the resources to implement in various environments in various ports."
"Assesses change impact or completes an audit using multiple dashboard views."
"Integrates role-based access control with pre-configured policies for CIS, DISA, HIPAA, PCI, SOX, NIST, and SCAP documentation and remediation."
"Supports unattended installs and image-based, script-based, or template-based provisioning."
"You can tie together your public and private cloud infrastructure into a "single pane of glass"."
"Automates Java EE Application Deployment from an SCM system."
"During my testing, the features that I like the most are that it can be integrated with my system, and it provides me with reports of all of my servers."
"The most valuable feature is the protocol to manage anything."
"Zabbix is scalable."
"We like the user-interface for this solution, which makes it an easy to use tool."
"The most valuable feature is network traffic monitoring."
"It can send messages to our ticketing system."
"The solution allows you to configure and customize how you want to collect information from servers or other systems."
"The features I found most valuable are the user interface and a wide range of network devices that are easy to configure."
"The solution's integration could be easier for laypersons."
"I would like to monitor inbound and outbound transfer. I would also like to control the traffic for load balancing."
"CloudWatch doesn’t monitor disk throughput by default."
"The solution's auto-scaling could be improved."
"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 graphical interface has room for improvement. CloudWatch only gives you a breakdown of what's wrong. However, it would be nice if it could automatically remedy the problems it identifies. You should be able to configure it so that when a specific condition arises, it will take a predefined action."
"For monitoring applications or for APM, CloudWatch has some limitations. You cannot monitor application performance from CloudWatch, and you have to go for a third-party tool."
"The solution could benefit from a price decrease."
"The installation and configuration can be tricky due to it being built on Remedy."
"Needs integrations with other providers to provide a custom public cloud environment."
"One of the major problems is that support is not so good."
"We would like to monitor other touchpoints such as ATM machines. It would be great if it can provide monitoring of ATM machines. Compatibility with other products would also be great."
"The graphical user interface could be customized a little bit more, and also the dashboard could be more friendly."
"Documentation terminology could be improved."
"The server monitoring could be better."
"There are a lot of areas for improvement, specifically in the dashboards and reports functionalities."
"The reports are not great and should be improved."
"Zabbix does not draw automatic mapping of the network, this is something they should add in the future. There is a lot of effort that is involved in tailoring some of the settings which could be made easier."
"The System Center Operations Manager can be improved."
