As a It's super easy to just find the account I need to log into, grab thee login credentials for a quick CLI command, or bring up the console for more detailed work. My managers can let me view the proper accounts that I'm supposed to have access to. My managers like the ability to quickly send cloudformation scripts to new accounts to comply for compliance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Kion? The billing options seem very useful, but it never feels like it's up-to-date. I always have to go back to the AWS billing console to be absolutely sure that the stuff on screen is the right information. When using credits to pay for accounts, the billing info just doesn't show up (it says I spent 0% of a planned 10,000). Perhaps this is due to misconfiguration, but I don't feel like I can trust it as a source of truth when it comes to billing. The API is also confusing, lacking in features that also should be there (why can I create a billing account/source?) and changes very often, making it unreliable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Kion: See how it compares to using Amazon SSO. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Kion solving and how is that benefiting you? Being able to manage a bunch of accounts at once. We have an account that manages important DNS, we have accounts for specific projects, and we have our own dev accounts. It would be a nightmare if I needed to manage these credentials manually.
