Pros
"AWS Trusted Advisor is a tool that we can use to optimize the AWS infrastructure cost.""The cost optimization and security-related fixes in AWS Trusted Advisor have been great.""The Security Advisor is the most valuable feature.

Cons
"I'd like the solution to support clouds beyond AWS.""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.""Maybe adding more security rules would be great.""The tenancy must be free for all metrics."

"Red Hat CloudForms could improve by allowing more customization of reports. We have to do a lot of coding to accomplish what we want. Additionally, the compatibility with the multi-cloud could improve. The latter versions of the solution removed Google support and the cost comparison between other clouds was high.""I have issues with the solution's permissions. Unlike VMware, the product doesn't allow folder-type permissions.""The solution is still quite immature.""All of the areas of Red Hat CloudForms could improve. It doesn't do half of the things that it says it can do out of the box. It takes configuration to make any of it work, which is not uncommon for solutions similar to this. However, it is frustrating.""The complexity of the solution is a bit high in comparison to VMware.""It is difficult to create a complete dashboard that includes all the needed features or catalogs.""The problem is that the platform requires it to be maintained and updated. Also, a few cases are still pending with the Red Hat support team since they are not closed yet.""The solution's provisioning engine needs to be improved."

    Top Answer:Maybe adding more security rules would be great. It comes with around 20-25 baseline rules. If you want more, like 300-400 rules, you'd need to purchase Security Hub from AWS. So, more built-in rules… more »
