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.

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

"Control Tower offers many valuable features for managing all account security."
"One of the standout advantages is the fine-grained control it offers in terms of permissions and privileges."
"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."
"It provides centralized solutions for all AWS accounts in one place, customized to meet the organization's specific needs."
"Security is the most valuable feature of Control Tower."
"It aligns well with the customer's needs and it ultimately fosters a strong customer-company relationship."
"The most significant benefit of Control Tower is its capability to align with our organization's standards."
"AWS Control Tower helps to save a lot of work and manage multiple accounts."
"Service Bus topic subscription monitoring turned out to be the most useful for us."
"It offers all the core capabilities we need to manage and monitor our Azure services."
 

Cons

"The solution's stability could be improved."
"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 initial setup is complex."
"The tool's setup is very technical. Its pricing can be cheaper."
"It would be beneficial if AWS offered the capability to seamlessly deploy your infrastructure to another region to ensure continuous availability and redundancy."
"The integration with other AWS functions has room for improvement."
"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."
"The process of closing an AWS account using Control Tower needs improvements to simplify it, especially when managing multiple accounts."
"The user interface of Serveress360 could be improved a bit to make the platform even easier to use."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost is reasonable, but there are opportunities for improvement in terms of pricing for larger enterprises."
"It is cost-effective and the associated cost is quite minimal."
"The pay-as-you-go model ensures you're only charged for what you use, which offers great flexibility for different types of companies."
"The solution is free."
"AWS Control Tower is not really that expensive."
"The pricing is efficient, not overly expensive but also not very cheap."
"It operates on a pay-as-you-go model, meaning we are charged only for the services we actively use within it."
"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."
