Has provided reliable monitoring and alerting through extensive metric tracking and dashboard configuration
Amazon CloudWatch itself provides a lot of data. However, for visualization, we need to use third-party tools. We are in a process of integrating Grafana, Loki, and Prometheus to have better visualization on Amazon CloudWatch. We are also integrating Grafana with the application itself to get the application data and logs. Alternatively, there is AWS Kinesis and Glue where you can scrape the logs and have visualization, but a more easy option is Grafana. If you want to get a proper visual representation to see what is happening, then you need to integrate a third-party tool. Amazon CloudWatch has all the data, but to see what is happening, you need some third-party tool.

Great for PCI compliance but issues with stability and large amounts of data
I mainly use this solution to meet PCI compliance The automation of compliance reports and the correlation of the log have been major improvements.  The most valuable feature is the predefined reports for PCI compliance. The correlation suite needs to be improved. I also think they need to…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is a stable solution...I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"The initial setup is easy."
"We can set CPU thresholds using the solution."
"The most valuable part is the metrics part, which is really good."
"Amazon CloudWatch is a cheap and easy-to-use solution."
"Amazon CloudWatch's best feature stems from its ability to monitor app performance."
"It is very easy to use; as a monitoring tool, whenever your system experiences issues, it will notify you and is directly linked to your service."
"We have found the pricing to be reasonable."
"The FIM features in the Change Tracker and the Log Tracker are the most valuable."
"The most valuable feature is the predefined reports for PCI compliance."
"This is a very easy-to-use interface with a quick ramp-up time."
"File integrity monitoring is a very important function."
"Customer Service: The service we've seen from NNT to date has been extraordinarily good."
"The automation of compliance reports and the correlation of the log have been major improvements."
"If you want to deploy a SIEM and you want it to be simple, and not deal with much maintenance or help from the OEM, then I would say that NNT is the one."
"The Change Tracker tool is very good and will reduce your overall workload."
 

Cons

"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."
"I do not know whether or not CloudWatch can be integrated with on-prem services."
"Right now, in relation to monitoring services, there are too many services and too many metrics per service."
"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."
"We'd like the interface to be as easy as Datadog."
"Amazon CloudWatch's pricing needs improvement."
"It's not an advanced way of monitoring."
"When connecting to Google Cloud, there is no visibility or traceability from Google Cloud into CloudWatch."
"For the NNT Log Tracker and Change Tracker, they have to make their knowledge base available online because there is very little information available on the internet."
"I would like to see the integration of AI technology, so rather than manually monitoring the logs, the tool will understand it and take care of it."
"It is able to identify the vulnerability, however, they need an option to auto-mitigate."
"The correlation suite needs to be improved."
"Only one minor deployment issue came up and it was resolved quickly. No other areas of improvement come to mind yet."
"There are some issues with the stability - the correlation engine has failed multiple times, and the reports sometimes take too long, so we have to involve the tech team to get them."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is okay for me."
"Its pricing is reasonable. It is sometimes tricky, but it is reasonable as compared to others."
"The price of Amazon CloudWatch is reasonable for detailed basic monitoring."
"Amazon CloudWatch is a cheap solution."
"We have monthly licensing costs. The licenses are probably in the vicinity of about $300 - $350/month."
"It is a free-of-charge service."
"I consider it as a medium-priced solution."
"The pricing is average."
"We have selected a perpetual license along with support."
"NNT's pricing is moderate - I would rate their pricing two-and-a-half out of ten."
"Consider both their on-premises solution and their hosted solution. Both are reasonably priced."
