Amazon CloudWatch is the best in business for monitoring your Amazon Lambda. The ability to set and remove alarms with Lambda is very easy. This is very much useful for debugging your script that you have prepared by getting logs itself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The restriction to Amazon Resources is the main limitation I found for this service. I think it can grow very much if it expands its reach to other services. I also feel some difficulties when trying to analyse different metrics. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cloudwatch is designed to be very logic and tidy. You can just view logs, organized in log buckets, or you can use metrics to compose Dashboards. The code of the dashboard can be exported, so you can reproduce the same dashboard in a different AWS account (for ex. from Dev to QA). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
