    What do you like best about the product?
    They understood we were just starting our cloud jouney and had rigerous governance compliance and controls we had to meet. The took us through step-by-step.

    We held scheduled mettings, training etc. This time was insrumental in our KION development as well as delivering to our key stkeholders as well as governance, cyber etc.
    What do you dislike about the product?
    I cannot think of any interaction or part of the KION tool that I dislike.
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    The foremost problem solved was complinace for all of our cloud products, once we wrangles that we jumped into the automation that made our lives easier and delevered our compliance reequired reporting. We started to see a lot more reqeusts for cloud usage and with KION we were poised to take these projects on with the compliance and gevernance requiremetns as well as the fincance/budget needs.

    Kion makes enterprise CSP management a breeze

    Reviewed on Feb 06, 2024
    Review provided by G2
    What do you like best about the product?
    Kion lets you control user access to any number of AWS, Azure and/or Google Cloud accounts. The financial portion let's people see accurate cloud spend with the ability to take action when spend reaches budgetary limits. The compliance portion lets you manage cloud security according to multiple industry baselines. With Cloud Rules and Cloud Roles, user accounts and CSP accounts can have tailor-made configurations. Updates to those rules and roles will be propogated to every applicable user and CSP account automatically.

    In addition, the Kion documentation and customer service is excellent. The documentation can intuitively walk you through every function of Kion complete with pictures. Every question or trouble ticket has been answered promptly and they stick with you until things are working again.

    Finally, Kion is deployed entirely through Infrastructure as Code, so changes to things are as simple as updating a Cloudformation and the code will make changes and redeploy assets as needed.
    What do you dislike about the product?
    I've been a user of Kion nearly as long as I have been working in the cloud. Kion makes working in the cloud so much easier that trying to do things without it seems tedious.
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    We use Kion in the AWS Secret Region which has far fewer services available versus GovCloud and Commercial. Kion lets us fill most of the gaps for those missing services and usually easier the the native services themselves.

    Kion offer cloud enablement solutions that help us decommission over-provisioned & inactive resource

    Reviewed on Jun 22, 2023
    Review provided by G2
    What do you like best about the product?
    Kion provides excellent auto-detection of usage on a real-time basis & helps us reduce our monthly expenditures from on-demand instances.

    Unlike other cloud management platforms, it doesn't include lock-in or upfront payments, which is quite convenient for us.

    It offers extensive support to all three cloud service providers (AWS, Azure & GCP) for reducing cloud expenditures & reserved instance management.

    From its Dashboard, we can gain clear visibility of the infrastructure across different environments about our instances & disk utilization.
    What do you dislike about the product?
    Going on with the Kion platform is almost free of risk & we can opt out of their services if we are unsatisfied.

    We don't have to do anything much to get it running as Kion takes care of the underlying infrastructure & its renewals.

    Since our AWS infrastructure is dynamic, we have to run large workloads & Kion aids us in having a better understanding & significant cost savings.
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    Kion effectively prevents the tricky situation of cost overruns in our cloud platforms.

    It helps with suitable cost-optimizing recommendations that enable us to identify potential opportunities to enforce our budget & save money.

    Kion scans through our cloud environments accurately for over-provisioned and inactive resources & brings them to our attention. We can further dig in to evaluate the dependencies & handle decommission activities if it's not needed for our infrastructure.

    Its customer support is very professional for onboarding on with their platform & it uses CloudFormation templates to perform hassle-free deployments in our AWS platform.

    We can also generate cost-centric reports from the Kion platform to help visualize our financial management, budget constrains & suitable remediation strategies.

    What do you like best about the product?
    It is an easy tool to implement and manage. I like that you can open AWS accounts very quickly and select the roles manually, and it's also helpful to find the accounts and credentials by command.
    What do you dislike about the product?
    Nothing, for now; I just ask that it be more customisable.
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    Kion helps a lot to manage our AWS accounts and role changes in the controls and obtain much faster access to manage in the cloud without any problem.
