User Testimonials
	AWS CloudTrail	Ivanti Security Controls
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. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Ivanti Agentless patching is the best of all the products I've used. The real-time updates that don't require re-scanning after each step is great. Incentivized DB David Baca System Administrator Read full review
Pros	Amazon AWS API Log User activity tracking Real-time alerts Incentivized AS Anton Smyslov Product Owner Read full review	Ivanti Trusted ownership checking is a good way to implement effective basic protection. Patching is important today to react quickly to security problems. With Security Controls, it's easier than ever before. One console for whole security. Thomas Schoepf Geschäftsführer Read full review
Cons	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	Ivanti Performance of the console when using agentless machines. The console layout is a bit cumbersome - would be better if all functions were accessible from one screen. Common deployment examples to assist with deployment types.

Support Rating	Amazon AWS No answers on this topic	Ivanti Support wasn't used as the cost didn't justify the expense. We have yet to use the support. Incentivized DB David Baca System Administrator 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. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Ivanti Since we have been using Application Control for about 15 years, it is, of course, the best solution for us. We also looked at other products (RES One Workspace), but they didn't convince us. Some features of RES were good and are now part of the User Workspace Manager. The Microsoft solution seems too complicated to us and does not have the advantages of Trusted Ownership Checking. Thomas Schoepf Geschäftsführer Read full review
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	Ivanti Reduced amount of operating hours for administration of patching.
