Find out what your peers are saying about CyberArk, Proofpoint, Amazon Web Services (AWS) and others in User Activity Monitoring."I loved using Amplitude because it allowed me to dive deep into product usage and analyze different customer segments."
"AWS CloudTrail helps in accelerating incident investigation and response. It increases it because I pull out the logs to CloudTrail, and from CloudTrail watch, I'll send it to the Security Hub and do a visualization with Prometheus and Grafana."
"AWS CloudTrail integrates with AWS Config and provides custom event, security, and compliance auditing."
"The solution is good as a central logging platform for showing all cloud events."
"What I found most valuable in AWS CloudTrail is that it provides a good context of what's happening in the environment, so it's an excellent way to baseline what's occurring. I also like that AWS CloudTrail helps with audits."
"The product’s most valuable feature is monitoring. It helps us audit the changes in AWS account at the application and resource level."
"In one specific scenario, we encountered a situation where a terminated employee still had access to our environment without our knowledge. With AWS CloudTrail, we could track and monitor the employees' activities, revealing that they were downloading specific files from our customer's environment. Without it enabled, we wouldn't have been aware of this."
"It is a stable solution. AWS handles it well."
"Setting up reports in Amplitude was challenging for me as a newer user."
"Once the organization defines its policies, it must immediately enable AWS CloudTrail and integrate it with auto-remediation procedures using Lambda functions. This ensures that the main administrator can receive information quickly and on time without delay."
"The solution should incorporate visibility for CloudWatch events."
"Maybe if we could do direct queries on CloudTrail without needing to export it to Athena, that'd be great."
"The solution's operation visibility could be improved."
"The platform’s reporting log sheet feature could be more user-friendly."
"Filtering multiple values within the console is a feature that has yet to exist in AWS CloudTrail. You can look up a user identity, service, or action, but you can't search for multiple dimensions."
