The only features missing from North Cloud that I believe would be helpful are ones that AWS themselves have yet to offer. For example, more expansive RDS / Database savings plans offerings.

I don't think the improvements I mentioned would factor into my decision to not go with North Cloud; it would just be something where, if this was in place, it would be easier for me and my team to more proactively adopt the platform. It's already really easy to adopt, and it's very low-friction to get it all set up; we would just prefer to plug this into our existing monitoring channels.
