AWS Control Tower vs Scalr comparison

"There are two features in Control Tower which are the most valuable. One is the guardrails because it has preventive and detective guardrails."

"It offers automated recommendations for security and policies, creating a landing zone and providing a list of policies."

"With Control Tower, there are ready-to-use automated templates available, simplifying the implementation of a centralized management solution."

"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."

"One of the standout advantages is the fine-grained control it offers in terms of permissions and privileges."

"AWS Control Tower is a tool specifically designed for multi-account management. It offers the advantage of highly granular management."

"I would rate the solution a 10 out of 10."

"The advantages of AWS Control Tower that stand out for me include centralized management and easy governance control."

"I was able to deal with requests without needing every server on; I could turn them off."

"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."

"There is a sync issue within the organization."

"The integration with other AWS functions has room for improvement."

"AWS should provide more resources, examples, and tutorials."

"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."

"The tool's setup is very technical. Its pricing can be cheaper."

"The product's affordability depends on the value it brings to specific organizations."

"The solution's stability could be improved."

"We did use AWS autoscaling but Rackspace left something to be desired."

"The solution is free."

"It is cost-effective and the associated cost is quite minimal."

"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."

"The cost is reasonable, but there are opportunities for improvement in terms of pricing for larger enterprises."

"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."

"It is expensive but it is an investment in my opinion."

"The product's affordability depends on the value it brings to specific organizations."

"It operates on a pay-as-you-go model, meaning we are charged only for the services we actively use within it."
