"What my company likes best about Amazon CloudWatch is that it's on AWS. My team also likes it for its log feature. As the solution is on AWS, it also has good pricing and resource availability, plus it's what clients choose. My company also chose AWS for Forge ECS, and at the time, there was a need for the log features provided by Amazon CloudWatch, so it's the solution my team went with."
"The solution effectively monitors golden signals like CPU, page requests, and queues."
"We can create events and alerts. We use the information to dive down into the infrastructure performance."

"Scheduling is a valuable feature."
"Assesses change impact or completes an audit using multiple dashboard views."
"Automates Java EE Application Deployment from an SCM system."
"CLM has a multi-cloud portal because they have the resources to implement in various environments in various ports."

"CloudWatch's scalability could be improved."
"The solution could benefit from a price decrease."
"The dashboard and the UI could improve in Amazon CloudWatch. Additionally, they should focus on visibility inside the servers with AI and machine learning integrations. This would allow users who are using the solution to see what is happening within the system better."
"I would like to monitor inbound and outbound transfer. I would also like to control the traffic for load balancing."
"The dashboard of Amazon CloudWatch is not very customizable right now."

"Needs integrations with other providers to provide a custom public cloud environment."
"The installation and configuration can be tricky due to it being built on Remedy."
"One of the major problems is that support is not so good."
