Considered Both Products

We mainly needed to focus on logging and auditing of AWS services and activity, while Datadog & New Relic are more about performance monitoring and analytics. Moreover, AWS CloudTrail has a seamless integration with AWS, since it's coming from one bucket of products. So having …

Our company has not used any alternatives. Within our industry, it seems that AWS CloudTrail is the defacto standard for this type of functionality within the AWS environment.

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.

AWS CloudTrailPanda Patch Management
Likelihood to Recommend
Most probably it would be suitable for Finance industries, where security is at the head of the table. However, in our case for E-commerce, it's also quite suitable, since we have quite a significant amount of data and usage of AWS services. Especially with usage of AWS services, AWS CloudTrail comes into play as a heavy plus. For instance, troubleshooting any issues in AWS services is really nice. Therefore, it would be less appropriate with a small amount of AWS service usage and some basic web hosting.

Perfect for medium-to-large enterprises where endpoint management becomes complex, the tool helps maintain security and monitor issues detected on workstations and/or threats via the web, USB, etc. I do not recommend this tool for small businesses, however, due to its high annual licensing cost—an aspect of the product that could stand to be improved.

Usability

I believe the tool could be improved by adding additional features—particularly for operating system update management, such as the ability to create management groups—thereby centralizing all patch management in a single console and enhancing agility and security for workstations. It could also include a dashboard to notify users of new patches, centralize news about critical software patches, and so on.
