Reliable AWS monitoring and logging
The choice of logging solution should always be determined by the specific business requirements. It is crucial to align the logging strategy with what type of logs are needed and how they should be used. There are instances where we require custom solutions to retrieve logs, especially application logs that may not be easily accessible through CloudWatch or similar services. When we heavily rely on AWS native services, CloudWatch is indeed a robust choice. However, in certain scenarios, we might need integration capabilities with other tools, and if they can incorporate such features, it would enhance overall logging capabilities. I would rate it eight out of ten.

Good capabilities, has a helpful interface and is straightforward to set up
We have asked for a couple of features from the company already. What typically happens is a lot of people - and developers are one of the biggest consumers of this product - go to this product to optimize their investigation process and specific configurations. That increases our data flow at times, so the cost changes. And a lot of changes happen due to that. We have asked the company to auto-revert the changes after a while so that the system works typically. We want it to work at what it is expected to work at and not really based on the updated configuration which one developer has decided to change.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of Amazon CloudWatch is the monitoring and UI."
"The most valuable part is the metrics part, which is really good."
"The initial setup is easy."
"Scheduling is a valuable feature."
"I have found the memory metrics and the CPU metrics valuable."
"We can set CPU thresholds using the solution."
"CloudWatch provides essential monitoring capabilities that integrate seamlessly with other AWS services."
"The product helps us collect and store various metrics to set test alarms."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The best feature of this solution allows us to correlate logs, metrics and traces."
"Numerous data monitoring tools are available, but Coralogix somehow fine-tunes our policies and effectively supports our teams."
"A non-tech person can easily get used to it."
"The solution offers very good convenience filtering."
"The solution is easy to use and to start with."
 

Cons

"This product lacks some features: real-time data stream monitoring, application performance monitoring, mobile app monitoring, and live dashboards. Its workflows also need improvement."
"The solution's pricing is a bit higher."
"It's not an advanced way of monitoring."
"Adding conditional expressions would enhance its functionality."
"The product's configuration has some challenges. The solution needs to be more user-friendly."
"There is room for improvement in terms of stability."
"CloudWatch's scalability could be improved."
"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."
"It would be helpful if Coralogix could integrate the main modules that any organization requires into a single subscription."
"The user interface could be more intuitive and explanatory."
"We want it to work at what it is expected to work at and not really based on the updated configuration which one developer has decided to change."
"The documentation of the tool could be improved"

"Maybe they could make it more user-friendly."
