-Since it is part of the AWS services its very easy to gather insights and data from across all AWS tools
-Easy to setup
-Provides extensive reports, monitoring status in real time which can be very helpful for critical application and resources. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
-Not much but I think filtering events can be little better Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Almost all the aws services integrate with cloudwatch, where we can store the logs of the resources under a log group.
The best part is cloudwatch provides monitoring features like metrics, alarms, log querying etc..
Also retention period can be set on log groups, which is a useful feature to track only logs of required duration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Cost incurred is huge on the log groups. If not managed properly, one will end paying more for log storage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

CloudWatch provides pay-as-you-go pricing model in which users only pay for the metrics, logs, and alarms they use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
To get custom metrics and logs from EC2 instances, users need to install and configure the CloudWatch agent on each instance manually that is bit time consuming Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

CloudWatch was good but they didn't provide any update that could be helpful last year. They have a good dashboard to follow your usage but poor documentation or features to provide any new solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
With no updates, other solutions are becoming better than CloudWatch. Plus, we have the price that increases a lot while we need to output some data for other tools consuming that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Can monitor the Whole AWS infra (EC2, ECS, Load balancers, etc...)
Provides both Monitoring and Log collections
Very easy to use and implement
Alerts can also be set
Metrics for infra can be found and analyzed
Can be integrated with aws lambda to further ingest the logs with other tools
it used everyday Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sometimes log groups configuration might be a bit complex
Might need some AWS experience to work with Cloudwatch
Some might argue it can be costly compared to other tools Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I am an AWS Solution Architect and Use Cloudwatch for Monitoring the events of the EC2 and RDS instances which help me to provide best experience and performance to production environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The matrix view is quit required to be improved like the other tools Grafana and New Relic, so it can help to visually look good regards overall view experience of the logs and events Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The most amazing feature of cloud watch is that it can be integrated with any of the AWS native services easily. The logs can then be redirected to solutions like Kobayashi for analysis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The graph feature which comes with the cloud watch events is very slow. It takes immense time to load basically due to the large data size.Need improvement in processing there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This thing provides by cloud provider like amazan web services that is why we get strong customer support it easy to use , simply to set up and give best performance Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Over all is good but compare to another Market tool is not that much powerful and advance like garafa and Prometheus we can modified panel can setup alarm We can deploy it's dashboard to another web browser without need to login into cloud. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The ability to automate actions based on cloudwatch alerts. This makes operations very effective and efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Is often confused with Cloudtrail. I think both can be bundled services under a single product to simplify things for customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It provides real-time monitoring and alerting, helping us to take the insights and recommendations so that we can do changes in infrastructure. The basic metrics and logs are free of cost and detailed services are chargeable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The detailed metrics of logs for some services are chargeable and hence the costing can be issue for some. Otherwise, there is no downside of the Amazon CloudWatch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
