Native cloud monitoring tools or observability tools?

Native cloud monitoring tools like AWS CloudWatch offer ease of use and basic free services, yet may lack comprehensive observability, especially in multi-cloud or custom application scenarios, often requiring additional costs. Third-party observability tools provide deeper insights and customization but come with higher costs, longer procurement, and maintenance demands. Choosing between native and third-party tools depends on project requirements, monitoring depth, and budget, without a one-size-fits-all solution for systemic health and performance management.
