Overall Satisfaction with Amazon CloudWatch
Some of our AWS deployed apps are using CloudWatch. It's only used by a few engineering teams, but the scope is expanding now.
- CloudWatch provides a pretty thorough set of metrics to monitor
- Supplemental features offered by CloudWatch are also easy to use and helpful
- The reliability of the metrics is better than other cloud platforms
- Some aggregation functions we want to leverage are missing
- The overall UI experience also has room to improve
- Some complicated alerting logic is not supported today
- In AWS deployed applications, we don't need to develop our own monitoring system.
- We are comparing CloudWatch with our own monitoring system.
- It helps us know the applications are in a bad state early.
AWS is still a more mature product overall and offers more features compared to other cloud platforms like Google.
