Has provided reliable monitoring and alerting through extensive metric tracking and dashboard configuration
Amazon CloudWatch itself provides a lot of data. However, for visualization, we need to use third-party tools. We are in a process of integrating Grafana, Loki, and Prometheus to have better visualization on Amazon CloudWatch. We are also integrating Grafana with the application itself to get the application data and logs. Alternatively, there is AWS Kinesis and Glue where you can scrape the logs and have visualization, but a more easy option is Grafana. If you want to get a proper visual representation to see what is happening, then you need to integrate a third-party tool. Amazon CloudWatch has all the data, but to see what is happening, you need some third-party tool.

Logging has reduced costs and now provides fast queries and dashboards for lambda troubleshooting
Axiom Team excels at querying, with a query language that makes it very easy to assemble queries. The platform also makes it simple to create dashboards from logs. Axiom Team dashboards are used to monitor execution time, pricing, and errors. Axiom Team has positively impacted the organization by greatly reducing logging costs.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The tool's UI is good. One can scroll through the logs very easily."
"We are able to, on a real-time basis, understand the capacity utilization and the latency aspects, and, to that extent, we can now know the productivity of the tests and if the development team has increased them in any way."
"The alarms are one thing I love about AWS CloudWatch. It has alerts that notify us when resource use is approaching the limit."
"I have found the memory metrics and the CPU metrics valuable."
"The solution is easy to use."
"We can set CPU thresholds using the solution."
"Our project involved processing billions of records and performance expectancy was 99% which is pretty impressive."
"What I would advise anyone looking into using Amazon CloudWatch is to go for it especially when you're on the AWS environment."
"Axiom Team has positively impacted the organization by greatly reducing logging costs."
"Axiom Team has positively impacted my organization mainly in terms of cost, as we have reduced our logging cost by approximately half."
 

Cons

"The drill-down aspect on the dashboard of the solution needs improvement. We get a very good high-level overview, but when we drill down, it becomes a little less clear. We have given this feedback to AWS as well and hope they will improve this in the future."
"It's not very intuitive. It doesn't have drag-and-drop functionality to trigger actions from notifications."
"There is some delay in logging that they need to improve on."
"Right now, in relation to monitoring services, there are too many services and too many metrics per service."
"The monitoring part and GUI are areas in Amazon CloudWatch that have shortcomings currently and can be considered for improvements in the future."
"I think something that can be improved are the alerts and alerting mechanism based on no rejects. We want to have it more flexible and that is one of the key things that is required."
"The dashboard of Amazon CloudWatch is not very customizable right now."
"We find this product lacking and this is why we want to look for a new service that can cover our needs."
"Axiom Team can be improved by ingesting logs faster, if possible."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I consider it as a medium-priced solution."
"It’s an open-source solution."
"The pricing is average."
"The price is okay for me."
"The pricing model is pay-as-you-go so you have to be mindful of usage to manage costs."
"We have monthly licensing costs. The licenses are probably in the vicinity of about $300 - $350/month."
"The solution is expensive."
"The pricing can be considered reasonable, especially when already operating on a cloud platform."
