Amazon CloudWatch is a monitoring service for Amazon Web Services cloud resources and the applications you run on Amazon Web Services. You can use the CloudWatch dashboard to track key metrics in real-time, and you can also create custom dashboards to display metrics about custom applications. Being the native tool for AWS, CloudWatch is easy to set up and use.
eG Enterprise is an enterprise-grade performance and availability monitoring platform for all your IT application and infrastructure including AWS services. Its universal monitoring technology monitors operating systems, databases, middleware, web servers, messaging, all key AWS services, Kubernetes and containers. It also has specialized monitoring support for AWS WorkSpaces and AppStream 2.0.
IT managers can also support Azure environments and on-premises applications and infrastructure from a central web console.

CloudWatch is the native tool built into AWS services. Hence, it is easiest monitoring to deploy and use. Support is from one vendor for your cloud services and monitoring – AWS. Yet another advantage is billing for CloudWatch is integrated into AWS’ overall billing.
You can get started with Amazon CloudWatch for free. Most AWS Services (EC2, S3, Kinesis, etc.) send metrics for free to CloudWatch. With the free tier, you can get basic monitoring metrics at 5 min frequency, 10 detailed metrics at 1 min frequency and 1 million API requests. Additional details are available here.
There is no up-front commitment or minimum fee. You simply pay for what you use and will be charged at the end of the month for your usage. There is a cost for each custom metric, for each dashboard you create, per alarm metric (cost is different for standard resolution metric, high resolution metric or composite metric), per GB of log data ingested, per synthetic canary run, per RUM event processed, etc. Overall, it is a challenge to estimate the total cost of AWS CloudWatch per month.
For many basic users of AWS services, CloudWatch is the most suitable tool as it allows you to monitor a small number of basic metrics for free. However, for more complex needs, you might outgrow CloudWatch and look for an alternative like eG Enterprise.
