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.
