Hear what a cloud-native has to say about Site24x7's monitoring capabilities.
We enjoy features like archiving CloudWatch data for more than two weeks and not having to pay AWS for detailed CloudWatch metrics. Site24x7 will extract that information for us and archive it for several years. We are a heavy AWS user, and Site24x7 constantly keeps building new features around new AWS services. Overall, we enjoy the different features of Site24x7.
