What do you like best about AWS Systems Manager?

Secure. Easy to use when using the command line interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Systems Manager?

UI is terrible and inefficient. The search feature does not filter and search results correctly. It is tedious to sort through incorrect results or trying different combination to obtain a query that yields correct results. Also, it has a two-step search instead of directly typing into the search bar which is very tedious. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.
