Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Zabbix, New Relic and others in Cloud Monitoring Software."The detection is the most valuable feature."
"We use Amazon CloudWatch for logging."
"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."
"The alarms are one thing I love about AWS CloudWatch. It has alerts that notify us when resource use is approaching the limit."
"You can enable alarms and metrics, and it has robust integration with AWS services. You can also trigger events. For example, if the CPU utilization is above 80%, it can launch a new instance for you."
"We have found the pricing to be reasonable."
"It is a robust analytical tool and it goes beyond mere functionality and extends into the realm of providing comprehensive insights."
"The solution effectively monitors golden signals like CPU, page requests, and queues."
"You can tie together your public and private cloud infrastructure into a "single pane of glass"."
"Assesses change impact or completes an audit using multiple dashboard views."
"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."
"CLM has a multi-cloud portal because they have the resources to implement in various environments in various ports."
"Integrates role-based access control with pre-configured policies for CIS, DISA, HIPAA, PCI, SOX, NIST, and SCAP documentation and remediation."
"Automates Java EE Application Deployment from an SCM system."
"You can monitor performance counters effortlessly."
"The ability to quickly identify downtime is the most valuable."
"It covers everything from end to end, from the standpoint of endpoint machines and the routers and switches. The switch port also comes there."
"The product is scalable."
"Technical support is very helpful with our upgrades."
"Being able to easily, and quickly obtain disc space statistics from servers and determine how much was free or used on various volumes."
"The stability is fantastic."
"Monitoring capabilities are at a high level and it is easy to see utilization, access ports, and CPU memory in real time or through a lens for long-term visualization."
"The configuration capabilities could be better."
"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."
"CloudWatch doesn’t monitor disk throughput by default."
"Improvement of SSSD logs would be beneficial."
"The technical support must be improved."
"The solution's integration could be easier for laypersons."
"The product’s documentation must be improved."
"Right now, in relation to monitoring services, there are too many services and too many metrics per service."
"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."
"Needs integrations with other providers to provide a custom public cloud environment."
"The solution does not offer much customization so is somewhat inflexible."
"It would be nice if SolarWinds could have a polling engine on the site that would collect the reporting and then manage everything itself."
"Complex and overly detailed setup."
"The dashboards for this solution could be improved. We would like to divide the dashboards to give a clear view to our management team to show what we have and what deficiencies exist in our network."
"I would like to see integration with antivirus or other security endpoint solutions."
"Consolidation of platforms would provide a smoother experience."
"Robustness of network element mapping tool could be better"
"They need to work on their automation and automatically discover devices. They are not very good at automatically discovering devices."
