### "Great tool for log mangement" — 5.0/5

> **Flavio** | *3 November 2025* | Banking | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Great and reliable tool that integrate with other AWS services. Been using it daily to monitor user’s behaviour and also to look after possible bugs. The ease of use is great with loads of filters features that allow me do my job quickly and efficiently.
> 
> **Cons**: Sometimes the logs can take a while to load. Also I don’t think we would need to hit “load more to see older or newer events.
