Cons
"It's not an advanced way of monitoring.""The dashboard of Amazon CloudWatch is not very customizable right now.""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 graphical interface has room for improvement. CloudWatch only gives you a breakdown of what's wrong. However, it would be nice if it could automatically remedy the problems it identifies. You should be able to configure it so that when a specific condition arises, it will take a predefined action.""The monitoring part and GUI are areas in Amazon CloudWatch that have shortcomings currently and can be considered for improvements in the future.""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.""The product’s documentation must be improved.""There could be further enhancements through CloudWatch's partnerships."

More Amazon CloudWatch Cons →

"The problem is that implementation requires a significant amount of mapping effort.""Lacks an SIEM solution which can be found in other products.""Even with the top-notch dashboard, it could be made stronger in order to have an additional plug-in for analytics.""They could probably rearrange the UI so that it would be easy for people who are new to the Application Manager to configure things.""I would like the solution to improve the ability to track services.""The dashboards in the interface need a lot of work.""The information provided by ManageEngine is not deep-dive like IBM and CA provide.""An area for improvement in ManageEngine Applications Manager is artificial intelligence. If AI is integrated into the solution, it'll be a piece of cake. Currently, it's all configured manually."
