AWS Config vs. ManageEngine Network Configuration Management (NCM)

It's really good if your infrastructure services is all in AWS, that means everything could be audited and monitored using AWS config. You also can create alarms to notify you or your team about any changes on your AWS resources which is very useful to prevent abuse if you have a fairly large team. It's also very useful whenever some third party wants to audit your AWS resources, if you have a fairly comprehensive AWS config configured, the auditing process will be easy since they only need to look at your AWS config setup.

ManageEngine Network Configuration Management (NCM) is well suited for both SMB and large enterprise. Where the network consists of large no of switches, routers and firewalls. Management of such network is really simplified with the help of ManageEngine NCM. It takes care of and keeps track of all your configurations and backup. It also takes care of your compliance requirements. It is your single console to all your complete network.

Would rate lower for other workloads but for AWS workloads its simple to set up, cost effective and customisable. Primary use case is compliance from a governance perspective.

ManageEngine support is excellent. Every time we had a issue and contacted the support we received it very quickly.

I do not know or have used any other product in AWS cloud space that matches what AWS Config provides. We have some custom built monitoring and governance, however that is there because AWS Config does not provide it currently.
