Unified security management ensures comprehensive compliance for account safety
Control Tower offers many valuable features for managing all account security. I can manage user security and user IAM, firewall, and other security-related tasks via Control Tower. The unified security management is a crucial aspect, and whenever an AWS organization is used, Control Tower is typically included to ensure comprehensive compliance fulfillment.

Performance is relatively poor and speed needs improvement
We use CloudM to store our employees' details We use it for backup storage only. In the future, my company may go for the testing on Cloud because it has a large infrastructure. The feature I like most is its stability. In terms of improvement, the performance of the solution should be made…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"There are two features in Control Tower which are the most valuable. One is the guardrails because it has preventive and detective guardrails."
"With Control Tower, there are ready-to-use automated templates available, simplifying the implementation of a centralized management solution."
"I would rate the solution a 10 out of 10."
"Control Tower offers many valuable features for managing all account security."
"AWS Control Tower is a tool specifically designed for multi-account management. It offers the advantage of highly granular management."
"Compliance is the most valuable feature."
"It provides a central point for account management, access control, and compliance monitoring."
"The most significant benefit of Control Tower is its capability to align with our organization's standards."
"CloudM has good stability and scalability."
 

Cons

"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 solution's stability could be improved."
"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."
"It is essential to clarify that this isn't necessarily a drawback of the service, but having a clear and concise set of predefined guidelines from AWS for moving existing accounts under AWS Control Tower would be highly beneficial as it would simplify the process and make it more user-friendly."
"AWS should provide more resources, examples, and tutorials."
"AWS Control Tower should improve its fast execution. It also needs more tools for triggering and monitoring AWS services. AWS Control Tower needs more tracking as well."
"While using the solution recently, it broke a certain activity. So, AWS Control Tower needs to consider making the solution better."
"There should be more automation security tools in the Control Tower."
"CloudM is slow compared to other solutions."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is expensive but it is an investment in my opinion."
"AWS Control Tower is not really that expensive."
"The pricing is efficient, not overly expensive but also not very cheap."
"The pricing structure is closely intertwined with the specifics of your environment and the billing strategy you employ."
"It is cost-effective and the associated cost is quite minimal."
"The product's affordability depends on the value it brings to specific organizations."
"I believe it's free of charge or comes at a very low cost. It's an additional feature. Even if there is a fee, it's minimal. AWS seems to assist customers in gaining a comprehensive view of their security setups within AWS. Using Control Tower is highly recommended, especially as your company grows and involves Active Directory, various departments, and different architectural aspects. It becomes more advisable to leverage Control Tower rather than managing these aspects manually, especially for larger organizations."
"The cost is reasonable, but there are opportunities for improvement in terms of pricing for larger enterprises."
