AWS CloudTrail vs Logsene: What are the differences?

What is AWS CloudTrail? Record AWS API calls for your account and have log files delivered to you. With CloudTrail, you can get a history of AWS API calls for your account, including API calls made via the AWS Management Console, AWS SDKs, command line tools, and higher-level AWS services (such as AWS CloudFormation). The AWS API call history produced by CloudTrail enables security analysis, resource change tracking, and compliance auditing. The recorded information includes the identity of the API caller, the time of the API call, the source IP address of the API caller, the request parameters, and the response elements returned by the AWS service.

What is Logsene? ELK as a Service Log Management. Log Management SaaS, compatible with ELK stack. It exposes Elasticsearch API and Kibana, has compatibility with Grafana, powerful search, reporting, correlation with metrics, alerting, and anomaly detection. Also Available On Premises.

AWS CloudTrail and Logsene can be primarily classified as "Log Management" tools.

Some of the features offered by AWS CloudTrail are:

• Increased Visibility- CloudTrail provides increased visibility into your user activity by recording AWS API calls. You can answer questions such as, what actions did a given user take over a given time period? For a given resource, which user has taken actions on it over a given time period? What is the source IP address of a given activity? Which activities failed due to inadequate permissions?
• Durable and Inexpensive Log File Storage- CloudTrail uses Amazon S3 for log file storage and delivery, so log files are stored durably and inexpensively. You can use Amazon S3 lifecycle configuration rules to further reduce storage costs. For example, you can define rules to automatically delete old log files or archive them to Amazon Glacier for additional savings.
• Easy Administration- CloudTrail is a fully managed service

On the other hand, Logsene provides the following key features:

• Available in the Cloud and On Premises
• Exposes Elasticsearch API
