"Kion makes enterprise CSP management a breeze"
What do you like best about Kion?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kion?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Kion offer cloud enablement solutions that help us decommission over-provisioned & inactive resource"
What do you like best about Kion?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kion?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I couldn't say much here because Kion is excellent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's a great solution that I like to be able to use for compliance reporting and to integrate my AWS accounts for different roles.

What do you dislike about Kion?

I can't say anything negative about Kion because I haven't encountered any problems so far. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Useful too with a lot of potential and easy to implement for any company"
What do you like best about Kion?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kion?

Nothing, for now; I just ask that it be more customisable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Continuously improve, every day"
What do you like best about Kion?

Today, there are more than 50 employees in the Encamp organization and over 200 customers who rely on their premier technology and expert compliance services to automate and streamline environmental compliance. Encamp is the largest third-party filer of EPCRA Tier II reports. These reports, mandated by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), legally require companies that store hazardous materials to submit an annual Tier II report. For each of those reports filed through Encamp, the company donates a tree to nonprofit organizations such as One Tree Planted, helping sequester carbon from the atmosphere and promote human and environmental health.

What do you dislike about Kion?

"Kion allows easy management of all our customer environments."
What do you like best about Kion?

I use Kion on a daily basis and love the ease that it allows me to manage multiple accounts. The controls that we can use via CloudRules and RBAC Roles help us limit access when needed, and also add important CloudFormation templates to our AWS environments. I also love the ease of integration between our Active Directory and how we can use security groups in AD to control access in Kion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kion?

I have found that navigating through the 'Organization' tab can be sometimes cumbersome and it is not always easy to find an account or OU that you are searching for. Even with the search bar on the left, clicking on a Parent OU won't reveal all of the accounts as there may be another OU layer between Parent OU and accounts.

"Kion has the ability to be a lifesaver for Enterprises at scale."
What do you like best about Kion?

The ability for Kion to have inherited rules similar to AWS SCPs from one place, regardless of the cloud can not be spoken about enough. Having one "single pane of glass" for GCP, AWS and Azure is incredible and Kion does it the right way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kion?

Kion has a steep learning curve, and while it takes some time to get to understand the nuances of the product, once you think you get through the curve, they release new features that you have to learn (not that new features is a bad thing). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
