| Data Correlation | Requires manual efforts and external tools | Correlate logs and data events seamlessly in dashboards |
| Alerting and Notifications | Requires custom scripts or additional AWS services | Integrated real-time alerts based on log patterns |
| Visualization and Insights | Requires external visualization tools like QuickSight | Built-in dashboards and panels for actionable insights |
| Scalability | Limited by S3 and manual processing pipelines | Scales efficiently for large volumes of logs |
