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.

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

"AWS Control Tower provides tremendous value by simplifying multi-account governance and reducing operational complexity."
"Control Tower offers many valuable features for managing all account security."
"It provides a central point for account management, access control, and compliance monitoring."
"It offers automated recommendations for security and policies, creating a landing zone and providing a list of policies."
"Security is the most valuable feature of Control Tower."
"The advantages of AWS Control Tower that stand out for me include centralized management and easy governance control."
"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."
"It offers all the core capabilities we need to manage and monitor our Azure services."
"Service Bus topic subscription monitoring turned out to be the most useful for us."
"That is exactly where Serverless360 helped us by bringing in both Service Bus management and monitoring under the same hood."
"Serverless360 transformed the way our organizations manage Azure and hybrid integrations."
 

Cons

"It would be beneficial if AWS offered the capability to seamlessly deploy your infrastructure to another region to ensure continuous availability and redundancy."
"The initial setup is complex."
"There is a sync issue within the organization."
"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."
"The sole drawback is its restriction to enable only one Control Tower."
"The reason I do not give it a 10 is that larger enterprises sometimes require more flexibility and customization than the service currently provides."
"The tool's setup is very technical. Its pricing can be cheaper."
"While using the solution recently, it broke a certain activity. So, AWS Control Tower needs to consider making the solution better."
"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

"It is cost-effective and the associated cost is quite minimal."
"The product's affordability depends on the value it brings to specific organizations."
"AWS Control Tower is not really that expensive."
"It is expensive but it is an investment in my opinion."
"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."
"The cost is reasonable, but there are opportunities for improvement in terms of pricing for larger enterprises."
"The solution is free."
