    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.

    Agentless patching is the best of all the products I've used. The real-time updates that don't require re-scanning after each step is great.

    • Performance of the console when using agentless machines.
    • The console layout is a bit cumbersome - would be better if all functions were accessible from one screen.
    • Common deployment examples to assist with deployment types.

    Support wasn't used as the cost didn't justify the expense. We have yet to use the support.

    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.

    Since we have been using Application Control for about 15 years, it is, of course, the best solution for us. We also looked at other products (RES One Workspace), but they didn't convince us. Some features of RES were good and are now part of the User Workspace Manager. The Microsoft solution seems too complicated to us and does not have the advantages of Trusted Ownership Checking.
