What differentiates AWS Systems Manager from other similar products?

it is Natively Integrated with the AWS ecosystems unlike third-party tools also it does not require extra agents or complex setup and great fan of its Automation Capabilities.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

My favourite is Session Manager it allows secure browser-based access to servers without needing of SSH keys or opening inbound ports, and Automation for Patching and runbooks and frequently used it for Configuring and Installing CloudWatch agents to the servers without logging in to the servers.

What do you dislike most about this product?

some features are not very easy to understand at first and application-level monitoring areas are limited unlike other third-party tools and definitely need learning curve.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Core features like Session Manager and Patch Automation are valuable, make sure your team is familiar with IAM roles and permissions, it surely saves a lot of time and reduce manual effort.
