The key features include security recommendations, cost optimization, and various packages to choose from, depending on the size of the company.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The Security Advisor is the most valuable feature. It instantly informs you about any system misconfigurations, and the best part is, it's completely free."
"Trusted Advisor has helped our organisation gain insights into best practices across a number of important domains for us, and it has helped me maintain a holistic view of our AWS platform and guided me to improve areas needing it."
"The cost optimization and security-related fixes in the AWS Trusted Advisor have been great."
"The key features include security recommendations, cost optimization, and various packages to choose from, depending on the size of the company."
"It is very stable."
"AWS Trusted Advisor is a tool that we can use to optimize the AWS infrastructure cost."
"The recommendation feature is really good."
"I would give it a ten out of ten."
"The most valuable feature of Codar is the ability to provide us with faster application releases."
 

Cons

"Trusted Advisor currently scans the whole system, including development, staging, and QA environments, which increases costs. It would be better if it could selectively scan only production systems."
"For EC2 instances, we need to install the AWS CloudWatch agent to get the memory metric because we don't have a by-default memory utilization graph on cost optimization."
"The tenancy must be free for all metrics."
"Maybe if Trusted Advisor could also help us with IP address issues and the status of our VPCs, it would be beneficial."
"Cost is a significant factor that needs improvement. Reducing the cost would make it more beneficial for all users."
"I'd like the solution to support clouds beyond AWS."
"The integration between Trusted Advisor and Security Hub sometimes lacks, and I need a way to ensure things come through there."
"However, the integration between Trusted Advisor and Security Hub occasionally confuses as there are many overlapping AWS services and the same finding can be duplicated."
"Codar works well enough, but it's highly complex in setting up correctly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Trusted Advisor offers various packages, with the most comprehensive costing $15,000 per month."
