Rahul Kundu - PeerSpot reviewer
Proactively address issues with seamless monitoring while enhancing custom metrics functionality
We use CloudWatch for monitoring and logging. It helps us monitor our applications' performance, particularly in ensuring that every API hit returns a response within four seconds, which is our SLA. We also monitor invocation errors in Lambda and use CloudWatch alerts to notify us of any issues…

Automation increases efficiency, but pricing needs to be more competitive
Improvement is needed in making it cheaper, of course. I am not emphasizing making it cheaper, however, it should be more competitive with other products. The product itself is very good and helpful for me as a customer. The issue always is the price, as we cannot beat most of our competitors on pricing alone. If a product is just nice to have, not essential like an antivirus, if it's not really competitive with pricing, we cannot sell it.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

"The solution gives us very good real-time data."
"The product can be integrated with AWS very easily."
"The most valuable feature of Amazon CloudWatch is collecting the logs from Lambda."
"We have found the pricing to be reasonable."
"The most valuable features of Amazon CloudWatch are metrics, dashboards, alarms, logs, events, logs insight, and application insights."
"The most valuable part is the metrics part, which is really good."
"The solution is easy to use."
"It's a simple and humble tool."
"The remote support and data collection features are great."
"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."
"Everything is running seamlessly on the solution, to the point where you don't see any gap."
"It is a pretty stable solution...It is a pretty stable solution."
"Most of the features are pretty good and the solution is user friendly."
"If I want to automate the management and maintenance of my server automatically, this product is a good use case for that."
"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."
 

Cons

"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."
"Amazon CloudWatch needs improvement. The main thing is we have noticed missing logs."
"It would be beneficial for CloudWatch to provide an API interface and some kind of custom configuration."
"CloudWatch doesn’t monitor disk throughput by default."
"There is room for improvement in terms of stability."
"We'd like the interface to be as easy as Datadog."
"The solution's integration could be easier for laypersons."
"The solution could benefit from a price decrease."
"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."
"We've noticed a few bugs as of late. However, this seems to only be in the reporting part of the product."
"Improvement is needed in making it cheaper."
"Reporting is tedious and not organized in the way customers expect."
"The tool needs to have some AI capabilities, which it lacks currently."
"Reporting is a bit difficult."
"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."
"However, the issue lies in the adequacy of the responses to my questions, which are usually not up to par."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is okay for me."
"What's were using is the free service of Amazon CloudWatch, so they're not charging us. As for hidden fees, we're not aware of them because we're using what our clients provided us."
"The solution is expensive."
"Amazon CloudWatch has very cheap pricing, and it hardly costs my company $25-$30 a month for fifty systems, so it's pretty affordable."
"It is a free-of-charge service."
"We have monthly licensing costs. The licenses are probably in the vicinity of about $300 - $350/month."
"The pricing model is pay-as-you-go so you have to be mindful of usage to manage costs."
"The tool is not expensive."
"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."
"The solution is not cheap, but it is not too expensive."
