Considered Both Products	AWS CloudTrail AS Anton Smyslov Product Owner Chose AWS CloudTrail We mainly needed to focus on logging and auditing of AWS services and activity, while Datadog & New Relic are more about performance monitoring and analytics. Moreover, AWS CloudTrail has a seamless integration with AWS, since it's coming from one bucket of products. So having … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose AWS CloudTrail For this specific functionality, I am not aware of any other product that can do what [AWS] Cloudtrail does. We did not evaluate any other products. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose AWS CloudTrail Our company has not used any alternatives.

User Testimonials
	AWS CloudTrail	Heimdal Patch and Asset Management
Likelihood to Recommend	Most probably it would be suitable for Finance industries, where security is at the head of the table. However, in our case for E-commerce, it's also quite suitable, since we have quite a significant amount of data and usage of AWS services. Especially with usage of AWS services, AWS CloudTrail comes into play as a heavy plus. For instance, troubleshooting any issues in AWS services is really nice. Therefore, it would be less appropriate with a small amount of AWS service usage and some basic web hosting. Incentivized AS Anton Smyslov Product Owner Read full review	Heimdal Patch and Asset Management is amazing at what it does - keeping all servers and endpoints patched and up to date. It removes the hassle out of manually checking software on each server and endpoint, and frees up the IT team's time to only have to interact with software that won't update automatically. Incentivized Dale Simpson IT & Business Systems Manager Read full review
Pros	Logs details Easy implementation Great support Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	All updates are delivered across all devices, whether domained or not. Ability to add applications to patching regime is excellent. Single pain of glass portal for all modules. If needed (rarely), support has been first class. Incentivized RH Richard Hanson Head of Pre Sales Read full review
Cons	Delay User interface, must send logs elsewhere to view them Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Interface could be more user friendly but when you know how it works its allright Easier way to quickly see what updates are installed on what machines Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Alternatives Considered	For this specific functionality, I am not aware of any other product that can do what [AWS] Cloudtrail does. We did not evaluate any other products. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	We assessed both ManageEngine and Qualys (specifically their patch management solution) against Heimdal Patch and Asset Management. Qualys was an outlier in terms of cost and felt complex for setup at the time (I believe this has now improved) when compared to both alternate solutions. When considering our patch solution we also wanted a product that could integrate additional features (Spam filtering, endpoint protection, remote desktop support) under "a pane of glass". Heimdal Patch and Asset Management seemed to cover this off within the best interface at a competitive price for each additional solution. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Return on Investment	Saved us from purchasing and managing 3rd party solutions Satisfies Security/Governance requirements No upkeep/maintenance Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	More Support necessary than without automated patching ROI is hard to determine as there was no 3rd party exploit in the time we have used Heimdal Patch and Asset Management Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
