a new dashboard was recently released, but the work we did was not moved over. Everything still works, we just have to get to it through ec2 dashboard instead of going directly Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is AWS Systems Manager solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use systems manager to monitor and maintain our patch compliance. We have tags on our instances stating what patch group they belong to.

What do you like best about AWS Systems Manager?

AWS Systems Manager is a great too to manage your security upgrades across your fleet of servers.

The agent is extremely easy to install on the servers, and reports back immediately to the AWS console with the state of the server.

Also, there is no additional charge when you use that service. If you haven't turned it on yet, you should install it now! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Systems Manager?

The User Interface is not very intuitive at first. I guess it could be a little easier to find things at first.

But then, once you get used to it and click around a little more, you quickly get how it works and how powerful it is. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is AWS Systems Manager solving and how is that benefiting you?

Automation for security, while monitoring EC2 instances better.

We are now receiving AWS CloudWatch alerts when the system needs to be upgraded, and it is much easier to monitor the state of our instances. I definitely recommend! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
