What do you like best about Amazon CloudWatch?

CloudWatch is a great low-cost solution for infrastructure monitoring and alerting if you are an AWS customer. You basically get it for free and requires a little setup. If you are not on AWS, you can't enjoy the benefits of CloudWatch, so if you are running multi-cloud, need to think about how you will monitor all of your resources and assets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon CloudWatch?

No free support, Building CloudWatch dashboards can be cumbersome. You have to navigate through various screens to get the metrics you want to add, You have to build alerts and alarms yourself. CloudWatch does not give you any recommendations, so you have to know what you're doing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We have several microservices and GUI applications deployed in the Production environment.

For this purpose, we use AWS CloudWatch services to configure and monitor all those metrics in the Production envrionment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
