AWS-native anomaly detection vs a multi-cloud, agentic SRE platform. See why teams keep DevOps Guru for the AWS signal and add Nova for the remediation, runbooks, and unified incident lifecycle.
AWS DevOps Guru flags anomalies inside your AWS account. Nova AI Ops takes those signals (plus Azure, GCP, Kubernetes, on-prem) and runs the entire incident lifecycle to resolution.

AWS DevOps Guru bills per analyzed AWS resource hour, then layers on CloudWatch and X-Ray costs you still need for raw signal. Nova is one per-user line that includes monitoring, incidents, runbooks, and remediation across every cloud.
Full platform: monitoring, incidents, AI agents, runbooks, on-call, logs, tracing, auto-remediation. Basic tier available. See pricing.
Charged per AWS resource hour analyzed. CloudWatch metrics, logs, and X-Ray traces are billed separately. Cost grows non-linearly with account size; multi-account orgs need budget guardrails.
AWS DevOps Guru only sees AWS. To run an incident lifecycle you still need observability, on-call, and a status page from other vendors. Nova is one bill for the whole loop.
AWS pricing varies by region and account size. AWS DevOps Guru, CloudWatch, X-Ray, and Statuspage are AWS / Atlassian services. AWS DevOps Guru is a trademark of its respective owner. Nova AI Ops is not affiliated with or endorsed by AWS DevOps Guru.
AWS DevOps Guru is a strong fit if your stack lives entirely in AWS:
Nova was built for the AI era. Instead of bolting on features, everything is AI-native from the ground up:
