"It is a stable solution...I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"Amazon CloudWatch is a cheap and easy-to-use solution."
"What I found most valuable in Amazon CloudWatch is that it gives you detailed information, which I found helpful because it can even provide you with data for the past one minute, which is quite granular. That was what helped me most in terms of finding the root causes. Task automation is another valuable feature of Amazon CloudWatch."
"The product helps us collect and store various metrics to set test alarms."
"The solution effectively monitors golden signals like CPU, page requests, and queues."
"The most valuable feature of Amazon CloudWatch is the monitoring and UI."
"It's a good solution. It covers all aspects of monitoring purposes."
"We use this solution for internal monitoring our own cloud platform because we are a public cloud provider. We also use it for monitoring purposes on behalf of our clients."
"The most valuable feature of Opsview is the ability to clone the services when you're monitoring something out of the test setup."

"Amazon CloudWatch's pricing needs improvement."
"There is room for improvement in terms of stability."
"The dashboard of Amazon CloudWatch is not very customizable right now."
"The solution should provide human-readable metrics."
"What would make Amazon CloudWatch better is if it includes more on-site checks, particularly status checks on the CPU, network input/output, etc. It would also be helpful if there's built-in swap space, disk, and memory monitoring in Amazon CloudWatch because, at the moment, my team has to configure it manually through a shell script."

"When customers want to see the CPU or memory utilization there is a cost. This should be free to see the utilization."
"Some of the graphics on Opsview could be improved."

"Pricing and a few certain aspects in the solution needs to be improved."
