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.

Centralized, great for performing corrective actions and has a helpful Business Activity Monitoring module
1) The user interface of Serveress360 could be improved a bit to make the platform even easier to use. 2) The addition of management and monitoring features for Cognitive services, Power Automate, and a few more Azure services. 3) It would be much better if it is a multi-cloud management/monitoring platform. 4) The consolidated error reports sent via the alerting channels can be a bit more intuitive. 5) Their customer support was good but good technical documentation or feature videos can be even more helpful.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"Our team finds it overall quite useful."
"Most of it's around optimizing utilization, their cloud utilization. They're making sure that they're getting the most out of their in-cloud environments and their instances. Making sure that there's no strange behavior in the environment."
"CloudWatch provides essential monitoring capabilities that integrate seamlessly with other AWS services."
"We can set CPU thresholds using the solution."
"Amazon CloudWatch is a cheap and easy-to-use solution."
"You can automate actions or use AWS functionalities like auto-scaling, where you can configure the metrics to add more nodes if the threshold is exceeded."
"The monitoring features are valuable."
"It offers all the core capabilities we need to manage and monitor our Azure services."
"Service Bus topic subscription monitoring turned out to be the most useful for us."
 

Cons

"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."
"I would like to monitor inbound and outbound transfer. I would also like to control the traffic for load balancing."
"Adding conditional expressions would enhance its functionality."
"We'd like the interface to be as easy as Datadog."
"There is room for improvement in terms of stability."
"Right now, in relation to monitoring services, there are too many services and too many metrics per service."
"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."
"Addition of more monitoring features to Azure Cosmos DB can be a huge help as we use the same as the main database for our applications."
"The user interface of Serveress360 could be improved a bit to make the platform even easier to use."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is okay for me."
"Amazon CloudWatch has very cheap pricing, and it hardly costs my company $25-$30 a month for fifty systems, so it's pretty affordable."
