Logging has reduced costs and now provides fast queries and dashboards for lambda troubleshooting
Axiom Team excels at querying, with a query language that makes it very easy to assemble queries. The platform also makes it simple to create dashboards from logs. Axiom Team dashboards are used to monitor execution time, pricing, and errors. Axiom Team has positively impacted the organization by greatly reducing logging costs.

Centralized monitoring has strengthened threat detection and supports faster incident investigations
Security Onion is a completely open-source and free platform, making it a cost-effective solution that works smoothly and effectively for our organization. Security Onion integrates well with our existing tools, primarily using Linux systems in our organization, allowing us to monitor logs and manage threat detection and operations in the public cloud effectively. Security Onion is very helpful in meeting compliance requirements and supports regular standards for our environment. I advise organizations that use Linux or have network security knowledge to consider Security Onion, as it satisfies requirements such as threat detection and log management systems. I would rate this review eight out of ten.
