Optimizes cloud strategies with security and cost insights

Trusted Advisor offers features that provide inside information for the entire account, including identifying security gaps and offering cost optimization insights. The key features include security recommendations, cost optimization, and various packages to choose from, depending on the size of the company. It is especially beneficial for larger companies, as the tool provides a comprehensive view of account security, open ports, buckets, and offers recommendations for protection.

Associate Vice President at Hitachi Systems India Private Limited

Cloud cost visibility has improved and workload assessments now support stronger business cases

I am looking forward to more workload observability. The second thing is mostly looking forward to know cost optimization and how we can be able to manage multiple hyperscaler workloads from a single platform. I am looking forward to a monitoring solution that can monitor all hyperscaler services because AWS does have their 250 plus managed services offering. We have workload running in Kubernetes, Docker, EC2, RDS. I need a single platform that will monitor all these services which are being running in the cloud platform. Customer support is good. Whenever I have interacted with them, I got the required response from them. That is pretty much good. The organizations that are looking forward and have enterprise grade workload running in their public cloud platform, I would definitely recommend them to start using CloudAware because that is going to bring in value addition for them which they might not be aware of while using by themselves.
