Automatic scaling has reduced costs and handles unpredictable traffic spikes for critical APIs
From my experience, the best features AWS Auto Scaling offers include target tracking scaling, which is very easy to configure. It also integrates with CloudWatch metrics, which is very important, and provides scheduled scaling, which helps some organizations. Two of my clients are using that. Predictive scaling for known traffic patterns and seamless integration with ALBs, ECS, and EC2 are also my favorite features of AWS Auto Scaling. Out of those features, target tracking scaling has saved me the most time and effort, making it my favorite feature. I find predictive scaling useful but in real-world scenarios, we rely more on dynamic scaling. AWS Auto Scaling has positively impacted my organization as it simplifies scaling decisions. I just need to define our target, such as CPU percentage, and AWS Auto Scaling handles everything. There is no need to fine-tune complex scaling rules, which has helped a lot. It has also significantly improved system reliability and reduced costs, as we no longer worry about sudden traffic spikes and we are not overpaying for idle resources. This has saved us significant costs, estimating around 25 to 30 percent after fine-tuning the scaling policy.

Utilize artificial intelligence for faster issue response and seamless ITSM integration
The data gathering capabilities and the automation, which utilizes artificial intelligence, are the most valuable features. These capabilities help us gather more information and analyze it faster, leading to better responses to issues. The tool is also excellent at integrating with ITSM services, providing a seamless alerting system for our customers.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"AWS Auto Scaling is very good for managing traffic and creating new instances when necessary."
"Once we moved them to AWS and created the appropriate architecture, it solved the problem."
"The various scaling options available, such as step scaling, are particularly useful."
"The tool gives you the flexibility to scale up and grow. The solution is also fast to deploy."
"Auto Scaling is a cool feature that works well and its automatic scaling capabilities are very useful."
"The tool's most valuable feature is vertical auto-scaling, which is easy to use. However, most companies now prefer horizontal scaling. I set up the health check integration to monitor CPU usage. When it reaches seventy percent, it sends me an email notification."
"The setup is not very complex."
"I like the graphs provided by the tool."
"The most important feature is the ability to design, then implement monitoring tests on the fly as we are adapting to different situations."
"It gives good insight into inside of what's going on with Exchange."
"The topology view which provides a visual representation of a service and quickly allows identification of errors or degraded performance."
"Single pane of glass to review status of the full environment."
"User session details"
"Enormous capability to monitor Citrix environments."
"We use it to monitor all of our Windows platforms and servers."
"Some of the best features of eG are, in terms of APM, they have complete modules between application performance monitoring, server monitoring, and even storage and network-based monitoring."
 

Cons

"The setup can be a bit complex in some situations."
"The only area of improvement is the speed at which servers are launched. When cleaning up to six servers at a time, it can take up to 15 to 20 minutes to launch new servers."
"The solution must improve automation."
"It is sometimes very critical to deploy on AWS since some servers are already running in the background. There are challenges for employees on how to deploy at a given time."
"The product could add more features for managing instances."
"Setting up the configuration involves too much work for the cloud engineer, like configuring the ALB, the target group, and all the steps."
"The product’s pricing needs improvement."
"The tool must include AI features."
"There should be more price flexibility to adapt to different kinds of customers. For small and medium businesses, eG Enterprise is usually too expensive."
"Needs to improve the networking monitor capabilities."
"The UI looks a little dated and could do with a refresh."
"Application TCP latency is an area with room for improvement, but I believe this is already on the roadmap."
"would like to see improvements in the alarm display console."
"The solution needs to enhance the management dashboards."
"Needs to improve the networking monitor capabilities."
"One thing that I don't like about eG is like the interface. It's not really that user-friendly to make a change, or to navigate through."
