"Great for beginners, but lacks notification options. "
4/5
What do you like best about Amazon CloudWatch?

I like that the data can be viewed in a graph format. Being able to see the exact time data spikes helpful when monitoring certain activity. I also like that you can set alerts that will notify you when something exceeds the set threshold. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon CloudWatch?

Alert notifications are only sent via email. I also couldn't find a way to send the alerts to multiple people. Since people collaborate on projects when alerts are sent it's necessary for the alert to go to the entire team. That way everyone is informed of what is happening, and if action is required it can be handled immediately instead of waiting on 1 single person that may be unavailable.
