User Testimonials
	Action1	AWS CloudTrail
Likelihood to Recommend	Action1 If you need a solution to help you remotely manage your endpoints this is a no-brainer. I highly recommend signing up for the trial and pushing the agent out to a few endpoints to test Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Amazon AWS It is necessary to enable [AWS] Cloudtrail when using AWS in a production environment, otherwise you will not have any idea what is happening within your accounts. Third party monitoring applications will all require [AWS] CloudTrail to be enabled as well. I would not recommend it solely as a monitoring tool, to get the most out of it you must send the logs elsewhere. Either to Cloudwatch logs or a third party product.

Pros	Action1 Customer service and support team are easy to reach and response time is really fast Interface is really user friendly and easy to use Samuel Couturier Owner Read full review	Amazon AWS API Log User activity tracking Real-time alerts Incentivized AS Anton Smyslov Product Owner Read full review
Cons	Action1 I wish the remote connection has a file transfer feature. I hope Action1 will implement DLP and Secure Web Gateway features in the future. VT Van Tran IT Coordinator Read full review	Amazon AWS [In my experience] Cost can easily get out of control with multiple trails on full logging Logs can be difficult to decipher Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Action1 Action1 Cloud Remote Monitoring and Management Solution may not be as feature rich as SCCM and Intune, but it does its job without having to set up and support additional infrastructure on your network. It's more user friendly than ManageEngine's Desktop Central but does most of the same tasks you would be getting from ManageEngine's cloud version of their desktop management system. Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Amazon AWS I think in the end, CloudTrail has more features and you can dive deeper inside the logs so it depends on your usage and what you expect in the end to make the right choice, I would say that both tools are really useful and bring a lot of benefits to I.T. companies.
