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.

Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose AWS CloudTrail Our company has not used any alternatives. Within our industry, it seems that AWS CloudTrail is the defacto standard for this type of functionality within the AWS environment. Incentivized Helpful?

Incentivized Helpful?	Intruder Jarrod Meyer Infrastructur Engineer Chose Intruder Intruder focuses on scanning network blocks for your servers even if you don't know which services or hostnames are running on them, unlike Detectify which requires a domain or hostname to scan. The network port scanning of Intruder is also broader than many competitors. Incentivized Helpful?

User Testimonials
	AWS CloudTrail	Intruder
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.
