User Testimonials
	AWS CloudTrail	California Telecom SD-WAN Platform
Likelihood to Recommend	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.

Jim will need to replicate himself in order to be able to have others to do this type of work instead. Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Alternatives Considered	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.

Return on Investment	Amazon AWS Allows us to investigate any strange api actions Increases security Audit trail of changes made in AWS Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	California Telecom Moving from Windstream system to CalTel cut gave us a monthly savings of $371K /yr for our phone and internet expenses. It also allowed us to be more proactive when a circuit has trouble and allowed us to have redundancy. Also allowed us to easily migrate our servers to a Data-Center and manage the traffic.
