Pros
"It provides centralized solutions for all AWS accounts in one place, customized to meet the organization's specific needs.""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.""Compliance is the most valuable feature.""It offers automated recommendations for security and policies, creating a landing zone and providing a list of policies.""There are two features in Control Tower which are the most valuable. One is the guardrails because it has preventive and detective guardrails.""AWS Control Tower helps companies save costs.""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."

Cons
"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.""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 integration with other AWS functions has room for improvement.""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 initial setup is complex.""While using the solution recently, it broke a certain activity. So, AWS Control Tower needs to consider making the solution better.""The product's affordability depends on the value it brings to specific organizations."

More AWS Control Tower Cons →

"The biggest weakness with Clusters at this point is that the adoption rate is low because customers don't know enough about it.""The reporting has room for improvement.""Some of the interfaces aren't as intuitive as they should be.""There are still some things that could be improved about the product.""Perhaps the one thing that could be improved is the documentation around the solution.""The pricing can be better.""The technical support for Nutanix Clusters could be better.""I'd like more flexible options to get in and out of migration modes."
