User Testimonials
	AWS Config	ProvisionPoint 365
Likelihood to Recommend	To keep track of changes and to answer many compliance issues this is a life-saver. AWS does a good job providing tools like this. Any AWS workload should be monitored with AWS Config. It even is great for troubleshooting and seeing who changed what at what time.

Pros	It can help you define rules for provisioning and configuring of your AWS. We use it for this purpose. It maintains configuration history. So you can use the AWS Management Console, API, or CLI to obtain details of past configurations It gives you a configuration snapshot of all of your AWS resources and you can store it in AWS S3. You can integrate it with AWS CloudTrail to correlate configuration changes to particular events in your account. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
Cons	Vendor lock-in, no easy migration path for example if you want to move some workloads to Azure, you'd not be able to lift and shift. Only at an AWS resource perspective - cannot do desired state configuration at an OS level (which makes sense but be good if you could even as a separate feature within AWS Config).

Performance	The performance has never been an issue for us, the dashboard gives us real-time monitoring and the alert sends us the notification within less than a minute of it happening, this applies to all of the monitored resources on AWS. However we can't (or probably haven't figured out how to) integrate with any other third party services, so we can't really evaluate how it integrates with other services Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
Alternatives Considered	Despite the comparison it is not really apples to apples, the main purpose of the service is quite similar which is to monitor your application or services. In terms of AWS services, AWS Config provides more options to monitor and log your service on the infrastructure level which is very useful on that level and overall will give you more information about what is currently happening. Meanwhile PaperTrail is more suited to monitor and log your service and could only give you information on the application level.

Return on Investment	Enforcing audit requirements Easy to set up alerting when there are rule breaches Auto remediation reduces the manual policing of such breaches Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
