Manages multiple accounts efficiently with streamlined billing and centralized oversight
The main feature of AWS Organizations that I find valuable is the management of multiple accounts. I can manage billing, access, and security for all accounts from a single point instead of managing them separately. It provides a single pane of glass for oversight. Additionally, its consolidated billing feature streamlines customer financial workflows. Since it is a free service, it is cost-effective for managing multiple accounts.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The main feature of AWS Organizations that I find valuable is the management of multiple accounts."
"The most valuable feature of QualysGuard Policy Compliance is the automation that can detect real-time threats and decrease risks."
"The reporting and security checks are valuable."
"The solution's interface looks good, which enhances asset scanning and ensures automatic patching."
"The platform allows multiple features that are very useful. The first one is being able to define the enterprise policy. The second one is to be able to automatically check the compliance level based on that policy, and the third one is that it allows us to generate reports and dashboards to see the compliance level easily."
"It's a simple product."
"From the Qualys Policy Compliance, the best feature is that they have predefined templates for compliances, allowing easy application of compliance requirements against our products and providing clear reports on whether assets are compliant or not."
 

Cons

"An option to bind a card or add a payment button would enhance the service."
"There is no clear mapping for the CIS controls in terms of how they should be implemented into Qualys, so the implementation stage might be a little bit challenging for the customer. That means that the customer will end up opening support cases, which will overload their support team to explain those. If they are somehow published somewhere, it would save time and effort for both sides."
"They need to improve the reporting part of the CI/CD pipelines and the ability to download scans from pods."
"The reporting needs improvement."
"It would be good if the solution’s technical support could be faster."
"Some sort of education or knowledge base about the product would be beneficial for beginners."
"The policy creation aspect needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The prices might be a little bit high. I cannot compare it with another product because we did not try any other product, but this is my impression when comparing different modules."
"The solution's pricing is in the mid-range, where it is neither expensive nor very cheap."
