    It is necessary to enable [AWS] Cloudtrail when using AWS in a production environment, otherwise you will not have any idea what is happening within your accounts. Third party monitoring applications will all require [AWS] CloudTrail to be enabled as well. I would not recommend it solely as a monitoring tool, to get the most out of it you must send the logs elsewhere. Either to Cloudwatch logs or a third party product.

    DS is fantastic for big and large-medium companies, it has many very featured functions and works very well. It's a little bit expensive for small and little-medium companies.

    • I'd like to have still more features for searching on social media.
    • I'd like to have a better interface for configuration.
    • It's expensive for middle and small companies, I'd like to have a reduced-features version for them.

    It's very easy to use, also non-technical users can understand the information to use for search and results, initial configuration is less easy to configure but just a little.

    They are very available and competent, in addition, they used people with a good knowledge of the Italian language that helped very much, especially with the first customer.

    I think in the end, CloudTrail has more features and you can dive deeper inside the logs so it depends on your usage and what you expect in the end to make the right choice, I would say that both tools are really useful and bring a lot of benefits to I.T. companies.
