What is AWS CloudTrail?
AWS CloudTrail is a
service that enables governance, compliance, operational auditing, and risk
auditing of AWS accounts. With CloudTrail, users can log, continuously
monitor, and retain account activity related to actions across the AWS
infrastructure. CloudTrail provides an event history of AWS account
activity, including actions taken through the AWS Management Console, AWS SDKs,
command line tools, and other AWS services. Once enabled, users get a CloudTrail
with all Management Events automatically and at no charge. Then, users also have
several different data event sources that can opt in to depending on particular applications and compliance needs. This event history is yet another
source of observability data that AWS provides which simplifies security
analysis, resource change tracking, and troubleshooting.

Companies can't remove reviews or game the system. Here's why
We have adopted CloudTrail in order to facilitate our log management. The level of details is so good and it has been used a lot to make our product even better. We mainly use it to monitor our API activities and based on that we have some reports to understand better our usage.
- Logs details
- Easy implementation
- Great support
- It could be more commercial
- Log Monitoring
- Integration with our services
- Since we started using CloudTrail, we could understand better our product usage and consequently understand our customer's profiles.
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.

Cloudtrail - Indispensable logging & audit tool
AWS CloudTrail is used for governance, compliance and investigating API usage across all of our AWS accounts.
Every action that is taken by a user or script is an API call so this is logged to [AWS] Cloudtrail. This is critical in keeping a close eye on what users are doing in AWS.

AWS CloudTrail Review
AWS CloudTrail is essential to our AWS architecture design. It is used by every single account within our AWS Organization (all accounts within the company). From the moment a child account is added to our organization, AWS CloudTrail is baked in and enforced for its entire lifespan. The business problem that it solves is mainly to satisfy requirements for our security and governance teams. On top of the security features, it allows the Cloud Admins to help our users troubleshoot and backtrack when issues arise.
- AWS native service
- Extremely powerful
- Multi-region support
- Optional encryption
- File integrity validation
- [In my experience] Cost can easily get out of control with multiple trails on full logging
- Logs can be difficult to decipher
- Multi-region support
- Log file integrity validation
- Integration with other AWS services like SNS / SQS
- "Always on"
- Saved us from purchasing and managing 3rd party solutions
- Satisfies Security/Governance requirements
- No upkeep/maintenance
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.
