Pros	Amazon AWS It provides lot many out of the box dashboard to observe the health and usage of your cloud deployments. Few examples are CPU usage, Disk read/write, Network in/out etc. It is possible to stream CloudWatch log data to Amazon Elasticsearch to process them almost real time. If you have setup your code pipeline and wants to see the status, CloudWatch really helps. It can trigger lambda function when certain cloudWatch event happens and lambda can store the data to S3 or Athena which Quicksight can represent.

Support Rating	Amazon AWS Support is effective, and we were able to get any problems that we couldn't get solved through community discussion forums solved for us by the AWS support team. For example, we were assisted in one instance where we were not sure about the best metrics to use in order to optimize an auto-scaling group on EC2. The support team was able to look at our metrics and give a useful recommendation on which metrics to use.

Return on Investment	Amazon AWS Positive for alarms and alert notifications once configured/customized. Has upfront learning curve, and cost can increase as does the alarm activity and monitoring details you may require. Cost-effective for any size organization keeping with AWS and utilizing its native tools is a savings in long-term ROI.
