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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Control Tower offers many valuable features for managing all account security."
"The most significant benefit of Control Tower is its capability to align with our organization's standards."
"I would rate the solution a 10 out of 10."
"AWS Control Tower helps companies save costs."
"It is incredibly user-friendly and functions seamlessly."
"With Control Tower, there are ready-to-use automated templates available, simplifying the implementation of a centralized management solution."
"There are two features in Control Tower which are the most valuable. One is the guardrails because it has preventive and detective guardrails."
"It provides a central point for account management, access control, and compliance monitoring."
"I have observed improvements in CI/CD infrastructure optimization, designing AI-native workloads, exploring pricing alternatives, and forecasting."
"Using InfrOS accelerates the process of migration planning and execution."
 

Cons

"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."
"There is a sync issue within the organization. It is important that the system syncs automatically instead of requiring me to manually choose sync options."
"The solution's stability could be improved."
"The sole drawback is its restriction to enable only one Control Tower."
"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."
"There should be more automation security tools in the Control Tower."
"The integration with other AWS functions has room for improvement."
"I would really like to have features that will help me analyze my usage on existing environments in the cloud and suggest architectural optimization improvements."
"There is room for improvement in the Github connection."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is efficient, not overly expensive but also not very cheap."
"It is expensive but it is an investment in my opinion."
"The cost is reasonable, but there are opportunities for improvement in terms of pricing for larger enterprises."
"It operates on a pay-as-you-go model, meaning we are charged only for the services we actively use within it."
"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."
"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 solution is free."
"The pricing structure is closely intertwined with the specifics of your environment and the billing strategy you employ."
