Streamlines governance and security management but requires effort in managing hidden costs
I believe AWS Control Tower could be improved. I compare it with Huawei Cloud's enterprise project, which is a similar concept but different implementation. In Huawei Cloud, you partition in one single account, but in AWS, you have to separate many accounts. You end up with maybe 20 or 30 accounts if you try to separate. It has limitations; you pay a fixed amount for 15 accounts, but if you exceed that, you have to pay more. It could be useful for implementing a Cloud Center of Excellence (CCOE) for multiple organizations, but for one organization, I would advise against it; it is too much overhead and adds hidden costs. There are limitations on the Landing Zone feature as well. If we implement AWS Control Tower, we need to implement Landing Zone and the security policy, guardrails, and Account Factory; it is not one single product. Using another cloud's enterprise project, you can just create the project and manage it already. It requires some learning curve to get hands-on. For pricing and licensing of AWS Control Tower, it has hidden costs. The Control Tower itself does not cost much, but the child accounts created from AWS Control Tower add costs for checking all configurations, logging, and metrics.

Great topic subscription monitoring, helpful management, and useful for audits
Addition of more monitoring features to Azure Cosmos DB can be a huge help as we use the same as the main database for our applications. One more thing to note is that their support team was always ready to clear all our doubts regarding the product but we feel that it would be much appreciated if they could share with us the required resources to get new customers like us well-versed in traversing through different modules of the product. These are the very few areas where Serverless360 can be improved.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The most intriguing feature is the automatic generation of user accounts. Leveraging Active Directory and global company settings, AWS Cloud Tower enables the creation of AWS user accounts based on job descriptions in Active Directory. This establishes a direct correlation between the user's name, job definition, and the corresponding rules applied to each account."
"With Control Tower, there are ready-to-use automated templates available, simplifying the implementation of a centralized management solution."
"It offers automated recommendations for security and policies, creating a landing zone and providing a list of policies."
"The solution's initial setup was easy for me."
"The most significant benefit of Control Tower is its capability to align with our organization's standards."
"The advantages of AWS Control Tower that stand out for me include centralized management and easy governance control."
"One of the standout advantages is the fine-grained control it offers in terms of permissions and privileges."
"I would rate the solution a 10 out of 10."
"That is exactly where Serverless360 helped us by bringing in both Service Bus management and monitoring under the same hood."
"Service Bus topic subscription monitoring turned out to be the most useful for us."
"Serverless360 transformed the way our organizations manage Azure and hybrid integrations."
"It offers all the core capabilities we need to manage and monitor our Azure services."
 

Cons

"It could be improved by having a more intuitive graphical interface. It could also include other coding languages like PowerShell and Python, as it would be beneficial for DevOps recommendations."
"The tool's setup is very technical. Its pricing can be cheaper."
"For ROI, I do not see it yet. At that time, it felt excessive because when we create a new project, it should be something small and go to market fast, or an MVP product."
"The sole drawback is its restriction to enable only one Control Tower."
"By making APIs and organizational units more centralized, it would be simpler to pinpoint the source of issues in case of a breach and would ultimately benefit everyone involved."
"There aren't any additional features that I feel are missing. However, it's worth noting that Control Tower seems to function as a layer utilizing standard AWS products in the background. Occasionally, the interface may appear less streamlined, with changes in layout based on the underlying products being used. While this doesn't impact functionality, having a more standardized user interface, irrespective of the background products, could enhance the user experience."
"The process of closing an AWS account using Control Tower needs improvements to simplify it, especially when managing multiple accounts."
"The reason I do not give it a 10 is that larger enterprises sometimes require more flexibility and customization than the service currently provides."
"Addition of more monitoring features to Azure Cosmos DB can be a huge help as we use the same as the main database for our applications."
"The user interface of Serveress360 could be improved a bit to make the platform even easier to use."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is efficient, not overly expensive but also not very cheap."
"AWS Control Tower is not really that expensive."
"The product's affordability depends on the value it brings to specific organizations."
"It is expensive but it is an investment in my opinion."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is a low price and ten is a high price, I rate the pricing an eight."
"It operates on a pay-as-you-go model, meaning we are charged only for the services we actively use within it."
"It is cost-effective and the associated cost is quite minimal."
"The cost is reasonable, but there are opportunities for improvement in terms of pricing for larger enterprises."
