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…
Ruan Kotze - PeerSpot reviewer
Along with good reporting capabilities, the product offers ease of deployment and great scalability options
I rate the product's initial setup phase a ten on a scale of one to ten, where one is difficult and ten is easy. Everything is pre-provisioned in the solution, so not much effort is required to complete the initial setup phase. The solution is deployed on the public cloud. The deployment process of Quantum Smart-1 Cloud takes around five to ten minutes. For deployment, there is a need to create an account in Check Point Infinity Portal, after which you can activate Quantum Smart-1 Cloud module and start with the provisioning process, which is something that gets done automatically in a while.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We can create events and alerts. We use the information to dive down into the infrastructure performance."
"The monitoring feature is valuable."
"We have found the pricing to be reasonable."
"The detection is the most valuable feature."
"Monitoring time and ensuring ease in it is the most valuable feature."
"It is a robust analytical tool and it goes beyond mere functionality and extends into the realm of providing comprehensive insights."
"The most valuable feature of Amazon CloudWatch is collecting the logs from Lambda."
"It's useful to analyze past data and compare it with recent activities."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the reporting and the traffic view that the product provides its users."
 

Cons

"There could be further enhancements through CloudWatch's partnerships."
"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 technical support must be improved."
"We'd like the interface to be as easy as Datadog."
"The solution's auto-scaling could be improved."
"I would like to monitor inbound and outbound transfer. I would also like to control the traffic for load balancing."
"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."
"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."
"VPN configuration can get clunky sometimes."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have monthly licensing costs. The licenses are probably in the vicinity of about $300 - $350/month."
"I consider it as a medium-priced solution."
"The price is okay for me."
"Its pricing is reasonable. It is sometimes tricky, but it is reasonable as compared to others."
"The pricing can be considered reasonable, especially when already operating on a cloud platform."
"The pricing is average."
"Amazon CloudWatch is a cheap solution."
"The price of Amazon CloudWatch is reasonable. When the rate of data collection is done the price will increase. The price is less than other solutions."
"Compared to the on-premises solution, I rate Quantum Smart-1 Cloud's pricing a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."
