It allows employees to track changes to configurations, review detailed resource configuration histories, and workload migrations over time to identify trends and recognize potential anomalies quickly. Additionally, it provides you with a complete view of the current resource structure that helps in day-to-day monitoring procedures, compliance certification, and overall administration.

All our servers, server types, storage in s3, and RDS. This gives us a quick overview of our entire application ecosystem and its structure. This allows us to assess any inefficiencies or gaps that need to be closed. > > **Cons**: I wish it would suggest better improvements and includes more parts of the ecosystem such as types of spot instances and maybe how many times it has been an issue. ----- ### "The Ease of Using AWS Config" — 5.0/5 > **NOREEN** | *16 July 2025* | Legal Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I especially liked the continuous monitoring and change management, where I can track relationships among resources. > > **Cons**: The aggregation capability cannot be used for provisioning rules across multiple accounts in different regions. > > Using AWS Config with its ease of set-up and use makes the overall experience a very efficient use of my time. ----- ### "I like it overall" — 4.0/5 > **blake** | *5 May 2025* | Graphic Design | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: the resource configurations and the detailed change tracking > > **Cons**: the limited customization options and and the cost > > it is mostly positive and offers valuable tools ----- ### "AWS config review" — 5.0/5 > **Sam** | *22 August 2025* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: AWS Config makes tracking changes and staying compliant simple, helping you keep your cloud setup secure and organized > > **Cons**: AWS Config can get complex with many resources and may need time to set up properly for full benefit > > 9/10 really good but the initial set up can be hard if you aren't very techy.
