Principal DevOps Engineer Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 11/29/2018 Business partner of the seller or seller's competitor, not included in G2 scores. "Where is the elasticsearch and kibana" 2/5 What do you like best about Amazon CloudWatch? Metrics all managed in a single location is a huge win. Logs could be a huge win. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Amazon CloudWatch? The interface for viewing and analyzing logs is terrible. We would pay real money for kibana or something analogous... but preferably managed kibana. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Amazon CloudWatch: Only game in town, so you’re stuck with it. You’ll probably want to involve a 3rd party solution for your logs though. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Amazon CloudWatch solving and how is that benefiting you? The basics of running any service in the cloud requires logs and metrics. The metrics are ok (although Prometheus is a more elegant solution, imho). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

First why are events within cloudwatch. That's a great feature to trigger periodically events but it does not seem the right place to put that.
