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 most valuable feature of Amazon CloudWatch is the monitoring and UI."
"The solution effectively monitors golden signals like CPU, page requests, and queues."
"Our team finds it overall quite useful."
"Monitoring time and ensuring ease in it is the most valuable feature."
"The solution is easy to use."
"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."
"Amazon CloudWatch's best feature stems from its ability to monitor app performance."
"The detection is the most valuable feature."
"It reduced cycles for a lot of quick out-of-the-box functionality. It also allowed us to get away from being stuck in SNMP, VTP V2, based off of agent deployment."
"It is reliable when it comes to monitoring."
"Monitors the infrastructure asset and also monitors as an IT service."
"It is easy to implement but requires good planning."
"It is the foundation for our monitoring solution."
"It gives us visibility inside applications. It helps us to dig down and find the root cause of any issue within the network."
"It is very scalable."
"Easy admin functionality. You can quickly do all the admin functionality without reducing cycles."
"There could be further enhancements through CloudWatch's partnerships."
"The solution could benefit from a price decrease."
"This product lacks some features: real-time data stream monitoring, application performance monitoring, mobile app monitoring, and live dashboards. Its workflows also need improvement."
"It's not an advanced way of monitoring."
"The monitoring part and GUI are areas in Amazon CloudWatch that have shortcomings currently and can be considered for improvements in the future."
"The solution's integration could be easier for laypersons."
"There is room for improvement in terms of stability."
"There's a learning curve with Amazon CloudWatch since we have to learn to write the queries to extract the keys and logs."
"We have experienced challenges with finding a mechanism to deploy the agents, but it's only on the first deployment so it's not a big issue."
"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."
"A useful feature to have would be automatic configuration per standard by new robots that check in for any particular customer."
"We've had issues with pulling reports."
"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."
"Currently lacks a mobile application which would be helpful."
