"Strong AWS Integration with Powerful Real-Time Monitoring"
What do you like best about Amazon CloudWatch?

It offers native integration with AWS services, along with strong real-time monitoring for logs, metrics, and alerts. It helps eliminate fragmented monitoring by centralizing metrics, logs, and alarms in a single platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon CloudWatch?

The interface can feel complex, especially when you’re trying to build advanced queries. Costs can also rise significantly if you have a high log volume or rely heavily on custom metrics. At first, complex log querying takes some getting used to, and managing retention while keeping costs optimized requires careful planning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy-to-Start Monitoring with Smart Alerts and Strong AWS Integrations"
What do you like best about Amazon CloudWatch?

AWS CloudWatch helps me monitor my application logs and alerts, find problems faster, and save time. It gives good value, is easy to get started with, and has many smart features that help me notice issues early. It also helps me check performance, and it integrates well with AWS REST APIs and AWS ETL applications like Glue and EMR. The UI is simple and easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon CloudWatch?

The UI feels busy, searching through logs takes time, and the pricing isn’t straightforward to follow. It also takes time for new users to learn and get comfortable with it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Essential Monitoring Made Easy with Seamless Integration"
What do you like best about Amazon CloudWatch?

This is a good option for basic monitoring, allowing you to view and debug logs, as well as track metrics and alarms. You only need a basic understanding of AWS to get started. In general, most AWS services automatically send alerts to CloudWatch, which is also the case in our application. I use it daily to check production logs. We have integrated CloudWatch with Datadog to gain more effective insights. Setting up this integration is straightforward, much like working with other loggers such as SLF4J and Log4J. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon CloudWatch?

I found it to be somewhat expensive compared to other software options, and I also thought the user interface was cluttered and difficult to understand. AWS CloudWatch offers only basic dashboards. In my opinion, a tool like Datadog might be a better alternative to this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon CloudWatch?

Navigating between logs, metrics, alarms, and dashboards feels disjointed, and the overall experience isn’t very cohesive. On top of that, the dashboarding options feel limited, especially compared to tools like Grafana. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
