We can also assign tags to each account. **What do you dislike about AWS Organizations?** We currently do not have all available features of AWS Organizations since we need approval from every linked account first, so there has been some delay in getting everything set up as we want. **Recommendations to others considering AWS Organizations:** Just use it **What problems is AWS Organizations solving and how is that benefiting you?** Managing multiple AWS accounts belonging to individuals in our organization, and allowing us to collectively pay off our bill with our centralized financial and administration group. ### 5.

I like the AWSServiceRoles that get automatically created in all member accounts. Integration with Guardduty, Config, Cloudtrail, Cloudformation is essential for security and automation **What do you dislike about AWS Organizations?** SCPs are fairly limited right now and need to support conditions. The UX/UI needs some improvement It is oddly difficult to remove/delete accounts **Recommendations to others considering AWS Organizations:** Do this early as possible.
