Pros
"The alarms are one thing I love about AWS CloudWatch. It has alerts that notify us when resource use is approaching the limit.""It is a stable solution...I rate the technical support a ten out of ten.""The most valuable feature of Amazon CloudWatch is reliability.""What my company likes best about Amazon CloudWatch is that it's on AWS. My team also likes it for its log feature. As the solution is on AWS, it also has good pricing and resource availability, plus it's what clients choose. My company also chose AWS for Forge ECS, and at the time, there was a need for the log features provided by Amazon CloudWatch, so it's the solution my team went with.""Scheduling is a valuable feature.""We can set CPU thresholds using the solution.""The initial setup is easy.""The product helps us collect and store various metrics to set test alarms."

"Most of the features are pretty good and the solution is user friendly.""We have found the solution to be very flexible to our requirements. We have been able to configure it on-premise effectively when we were using less of the cloud.""Kaseya Traverse is a very stable solution and very sustainable in terms of what the market wants, what is out there, price-wise and functionality features. They're quite competitive and they are always innovating.""Everything is running seamlessly on the solution, to the point where you don't see any gap.""The remote support and data collection features are great.""It is a pretty stable solution...It is a pretty stable solution.""It's a simple and humble tool."

Cons
"The solution's pricing is a bit higher.""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.""It is hard to configure; it is not a straightforward tool.""It would be beneficial for CloudWatch to provide an API interface and some kind of custom configuration.""Incorporating a straightforward method or a plug-and-play solution for integrating these databases with our systems, facilitating smooth data transfer, and enabling the creation of dashboards for monitoring and analysis would be beneficial.""There's a learning curve with Amazon CloudWatch since we have to learn to write the queries to extract the keys and logs.""The dashboard and the UI could improve in Amazon CloudWatch. Additionally, they should focus on visibility inside the servers with AI and machine learning integrations. This would allow users who are using the solution to see what is happening within the system better.""The solution could benefit from a price decrease."

More Amazon CloudWatch Cons →

"The tool needs to have some AI capabilities, which it lacks currently.""In terms of what could be improved, we are innovating all the time, as well as having a look at different avenues so that the strategy follows the structure. I think the software is still a little bit too new to actually fully asses what it has.""Kaseya Traverse can improve by adding a Service Map to help us create a configuration management database (CMDB), this would be helpful for us.""Dashboards and Central Protection were an issue. Also, database monitoring was not there. Even though they said that it was there at an additional cost, that tool was very basic. We couldn't have device configuration backup also.""Reporting is tedious and not organized in the way customers expect.""We've noticed a few bugs as of late. However, this seems to only be in the reporting part of the product.""Reporting is a bit difficult."

  • "The pricing model is pay-as-you-go so you have to be mindful of usage to manage costs."
  • "Amazon CloudWatch has very cheap pricing, and it hardly costs my company $25-$30 a month for fifty systems, so it's pretty affordable."

  • More Amazon CloudWatch Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The price depends on whether you are monitoring different applications, especially in bulk, and depends on what you're doing. If you're monitoring one endpoint, it will cost you 150 ZAR."
