We performed a comparison between Amazon CloudWatch, BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management, and DX Unified Infrastructure Management based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Zabbix, New Relic and others in Cloud Monitoring Software."It is a robust analytical tool and it goes beyond mere functionality and extends into the realm of providing comprehensive insights."
"We can set CPU thresholds using the solution."
"We have found the pricing to be reasonable."
"Amazon CloudWatch is a cheap and easy-to-use solution."
"Monitoring time and ensuring ease in it is the most valuable feature."
"Scheduling is a valuable feature."
"The alarms are one thing I love about AWS CloudWatch. It has alerts that notify us when resource use is approaching the limit."
"The most valuable feature of Amazon CloudWatch is its ease of use and logs. You do not have to go to each separate system to see the logs, such as Syslog and they are located in one dashboard GUI."
"Supports unattended installs and image-based, script-based, or template-based provisioning."
"By allowing end users to request their own services, the request process for systems is much quicker and more accurate."
"Automates Java EE Application Deployment from an SCM system."
"Integrates role-based access control with pre-configured policies for CIS, DISA, HIPAA, PCI, SOX, NIST, and SCAP documentation and remediation."
"Assesses change impact or completes an audit using multiple dashboard views."
"You can tie together your public and private cloud infrastructure into a "single pane of glass"."
"CLM has a multi-cloud portal because they have the resources to implement in various environments in various ports."
"I definitely appreciate the flexibility and ease of use. We've been using UIM for almost three years now. It's pretty much point and click, very easy to use. And we've had no problems scaling it to our own environment."
"You can scale it pretty much however way you want to as long as you have the servers to throw at it."
"It gives an alarm when there's something going on, not just when there's an expected spike that happens every night on a server."
"It is easy to implement but requires good planning."
"It provides a comprehensive monitoring solution for our open systems."
"It is reliable when it comes to monitoring."
"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."
"The ability to monitor any platform. We have Windows, Linux, AIX, and mainframe all being monitored with the same UIM infrastructure."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing, because they have a premium version, but it's not really a premium version. It's just an enhanced monitoring version, and it can be a bit expensive depending on your usage."
"Some of our customers want to use Kubernetes to monitor their CICD flow but Amazon CloudWatch does not support it. We need to use another solution, such as Datadog or Dynatrace has the needed capability."
"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."
"The product's configuration has some challenges. The solution needs to be more user-friendly."
"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 solution's auto-scaling could be improved."
"CloudWatch's scalability could be improved."
"Right now, in relation to monitoring services, there are too many services and too many metrics per service."
"Needs integrations with other providers to provide a custom public cloud environment."
"One of the major problems is that support is not so good."
"The installation and configuration can be tricky due to it being built on Remedy."
"The UIM has no features through goods and services yet. "
"A useful feature to have would be automatic configuration per standard by new robots that check in for any particular customer."
"We would like the navigation of this solution to be more user friendly for our system administrators."
"Stability."
"Making a GUI with criteria such as selection by robot/hub/probe etc."
"Reporting capability can be improved especially when it comes to availability."
"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."
"It is a little complex to use versus other softwares."
