Change Auditor for Windows File Servers and Google Cloud's operations suite are advanced monitoring tools in the IT infrastructure category. Based on user reviews, Google Cloud's operations suite seems to have the upper hand due to its extensive cloud integration and scalability features, which justify its costs.
Features: Change Auditor is designed for deep integration with Windows environments, offering comprehensive auditing capabilities and is particularly beneficial for compliance and security-focused environments. Google Cloud's operations suite is characterized by cloud-native capabilities, seamless integration with Google's ecosystem, and real-time analytics and monitoring services.
Room for Improvement: Change Auditor requires advancements in reporting capabilities and broader cloud integration. Google Cloud's suite needs a simplified setup process and better documentation, despite its strength in analytics.
Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Change Auditor is known for easy deployment in Windows systems but has mixed reviews on customer support. Google Cloud operations, while more complex, offers extensive support documentation and a responsive support team.
Pricing and ROI: Change Auditor is viewed as valuable in security-oriented scenarios with good ROI. Google Cloud operations suite comes with higher initial costs but users find it cost-effective over time due to its scalability and comprehensive features.

Real-time log management and analysis
Cloud Logging is a fully managed service that performs at scale and can ingest application and platform log data, as well as custom log data from GKE environments, VMs, and other services inside and outside of Google Cloud. Get advanced performance, troubleshooting, security, and business insights with Log Analytics, integrating the power of BigQuery into Cloud Logging.
Built-in metrics observability at scale
Cloud Monitoring provides visibility into the performance, uptime, and overall health of cloud-powered applications. Collect metrics, events, and metadata from Google Cloud services, hosted uptime probes, application instrumentation, and a variety of common application components. Visualize this data on charts and dashboards and create alerts so you are notified when metrics are outside of expected ranges.
Stand-alone managed service for running and scaling Prometheus
Managed Service for Prometheus is a fully managed Prometheus-compatible monitoring solution, built on top of the same globally scalable data store as Cloud Monitoring. Keep your existing visualization, analysis, and alerting services, as this data can be queried with PromQL or Cloud Monitoring.
Monitor and improve your application's performance
Application Performance Management (APM) combines the monitoring and troubleshooting capabilities of Cloud Logging and Cloud Monitoring with Cloud Trace and Cloud Profiler to help you reduce latency and cost so you can run more efficient applications.
