Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"There are two features in Control Tower which are the most valuable. One is the guardrails because it has preventive and detective guardrails.""The solution's initial setup was easy for me.""It offers automated recommendations for security and policies, creating a landing zone and providing a list of policies.""It provides centralized solutions for all AWS accounts in one place, customized to meet the organization's specific needs.""With Control Tower, there are ready-to-use automated templates available, simplifying the implementation of a centralized management solution.""Security is the most valuable feature of Control Tower.""The most intriguing feature is the automatic generation of user accounts. Leveraging Active Directory and global company settings, AWS Cloud Tower enables the creation of AWS user accounts based on job descriptions in Active Directory. This establishes a direct correlation between the user's name, job definition, and the corresponding rules applied to each account.""The most significant benefit of Control Tower is its capability to align with our organization's standards."

"Provides a good automation platform.""The multi-cloud integrations and the DevOps and operational integrations are the most valuable. Morpheus platform is a centralized set to manage different clouds and your on-premise platforms. It does a very good job of what it is designed to do. It is very good in terms of features. It is extremely stable and easy to install. It is also very scalable. Their support is also extremely good.""Morpheus provides a very easy and one-click solution to scaling up and down.""The most valuable feature for me was cost optimization.""It supports many features, and it also supports some of the automation that Cloudify supports. So, in addition to just giving you basic platform management—such as the ability to deploy virtual machines and have multitenancy to log in and perform all of your basic platform management tasks—it also supports automation. You can, for example, spin up three virtual machines, and you can have each virtual machine configure each other. You can do service chaining with it. You can run scripts in Dash and Python, or you can use tools like Ansible, Puppet, or Chef. All of this is just built into the tool. It is a very powerful tool.""The most beneficial features for us were the API integrations with various cloud vendors like Nutanix, VMware, AWS, Azure, and GCP. It saved us the effort of doing that work ourselves.""The user interface of the application is exceptional.""Morpheus is an intuitive solution that is very easy to use."

Cons
"There should be more automation security tools in the Control Tower.""While using the solution recently, it broke a certain activity. So, AWS Control Tower needs to consider making the solution better.""The tool's setup is very technical. Its pricing can be cheaper.""AWS Control Tower should improve its fast execution. It also needs more tools for triggering and monitoring AWS services. AWS Control Tower needs more tracking as well.""The integration with other AWS functions has room for improvement.""It is essential to clarify that this isn't necessarily a drawback of the service, but having a clear and concise set of predefined guidelines from AWS for moving existing accounts under AWS Control Tower would be highly beneficial as it would simplify the process and make it more user-friendly.""It would be beneficial if AWS offered the capability to seamlessly deploy your infrastructure to another region to ensure continuous availability and redundancy.""The initial setup is complex."

"We had to put in much effort ourselves since Morpheus's support wasn't always available to help us.""The product has become overly complex. The biggest problem is that we find a bug, they fix the bug, but then another one pops up. We can never really deliver on the vision we had using Morpheus.""The service is limited and somewhat lacking.""The solution's pricing and customization need to improve.""I faced a few problems while deploying.""Morpheus is working hard on creating an integration framework due for release in Q2 2021 which will allow clients to create their own interfaces and integrations into any 3rd party product that has a full-function API. Morpheus is also heavily focussed on enhancing the container management side to compete head-to-head with Openshift and CloudForms in Q3 2021.""The tool could support virtual network functions better. It is really good at doing enterprise-type of things, but one of the things on which we're working with them is loading very complex virtual machines with it, such as Juniper SRX routers. It needs to support more complex virtualized resources a little bit better. Aside from that, it is a terrific tool. We really like it.""There is room for enhancement in integrating Morpheus with other solutions."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The solution is free."
  • "On a scale of one to ten, where one is a low price and ten is a high price, I rate the pricing an eight."
  • "The product's affordability depends on the value it brings to specific organizations."
  • "It is expensive but it is an investment in my opinion."
  • "AWS Control Tower is not really that expensive."
  • "The pricing is efficient, not overly expensive but also not very cheap."
  • "The cost is reasonable, but there are opportunities for improvement in terms of pricing for larger enterprises."
  • "It operates on a pay-as-you-go model, meaning we are charged only for the services we actively use within it."
  • More AWS Control Tower Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Licensing is on an annual basis, and it is upfront for the year. There is no extra cost unless you want additional support or specific deployment packs."
  • "The license is based on the number of virtual machines that Morpheus is managing. So, it is a pay-as-you-grow model."
  • "Initially, the license may seem like a good deal, but as we grow, it becomes costly."
  • "The solution is cheaper if you have less number of servers, but it becomes very expensive for a large number of servers."
  • "Morpheus doesn't directly support cost optimization, but its API integration can facilitate resource optimization. It doesn't dynamically optimize resources like an aeronautic system would; it operates step by step."
