It helps you with credential management and also has a monitoring system and data protection capabilities, so it's very user friendly and you can really customize usage for what you need / what you want! **What do you dislike about Turbot?** It's not that I dislike the service, there are just other providers (such as Okta or Duo) that provide really similar capabilities that I like better.

Simplified Cloud governance **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Sanju B. | Co-founder, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 26, 2019 **What do you like best about Turbot?** Turbot has understood the details of cloud governance nuances. I have used other products in this area as well, but I found that those products were developed by someone who has not actually faced the issues of policies and enforcement of the policies and why its critical to do it right. Turbot clearly has flexible options of ENFORCEMENT of policies, quick alerts, can prevent certain issues from happening, and it has the right level of 'levers' that can help me get my AWS cloud governance right. Secondly, it saves a TON of time because I dont have to worry about SCALING my policies across my organisation. Overall, I am thrilled with Turbot! **What do you dislike about Turbot?** Turbot has been like the hidden gem. Would have preferred detailed videos and blogs explaining all the values clearly so that we could have learnt more info earlier. Turbot should work with TechTarget and other similar technical forums to ensure more people are aware of Turbot solutions. **Recommendations to others considering Turbot:** If you are as lazy as I am, and do not like repetitive stuff, go for Turbot. **What problems is Turbot solving and how is that benefiting you?** Two very clear benefits: 1. Policies can be enforced reducing operational cost 2. One can achieve scaling of policy management across the entire organisation without sacrificing real time alerts! 3. Out of the box CIS and other compliance rules make it easy to get started. ### 8. Turbot hits all the right marks! **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Mike T. | Directror, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 11, 2019 **What do you like best about Turbot?** The single pain of glass view I receive into my multi cloud environment is astounding and not like anything else I have seen. Turbot's CI/CD pipeline has stood the test of time and greatly provides us with rich feature sets within acceptable time frames. **What do you dislike about Turbot?** Turbot while being almost perfect we all know that's hard to do, so i can state that i would like to see better metrics on items so that proving the TCO of the product every year would be easier. **Recommendations to others considering Turbot:** I would recommended Turbot to anyone who is thinking of going or is already in the cloud who is concerned with their security and lack of control. Turbot makes management of a multi cloud environment obtainable without having to hire a 15 person group of developers and admins. **What problems is Turbot solving and how is that benefiting you?** A Secure, Compliant, Auto-healing environment that can be user friendly while keeping my company off the front page of a newspaper., ### 9. Turbot Review **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 31, 2019 **What do you like best about Turbot?** Turbot greatly help secure AWS accounts by enforcing guardrails and auto-remediating issues in near real-time. It also has a number of other great features like tag enforcement, an extensive API, and CLI tools to interact with multiple AWS accounts. **What do you dislike about Turbot?** Turbot makes a tremendous amount of AWS API calls that contribute to a substantial increase in cost. **Recommendations to others considering Turbot:** Make sure Turbot v5 is what is implemented. There are a number of features we have been wanting that supposedly will be included in this version such as tag enforcement of ALL taggable resources, the ability to turn off Turbot is certain regions/accounts, customized permissions for users, etc. **What problems is Turbot solving and how is that benefiting you?** We are trying to implement automated remediation of changes made to AWS accounts that impair their security posture. ### 10. Easy to Use, Easy to Update, It Just Works **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Chemicals | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 18, 2019 **What do you like best about Turbot?** Turbot has been very easy to maintain, and doesn't require constant attention. It just works. Turbot was the easiest "guardrail" tool that I have had involvement with implementing. **What do you dislike about Turbot?** Some policies seem to only alert and not change settings. I realize this is for safety, but it would be nice to be able to override some of these. (Note: this may be a v3 limitation that v5 has fixed.) **What problems is Turbot solving and how is that benefiting you?** Turbot allows our team to place "guardrails" on cloud service usage, enforce reules like encryption, etc. -- all without human interaction. ### 11. Reduced repetitive manual effort, automed enforcement of security and compliance. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Michael O. | Sr Cloud Security Engineer, Computer Software, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 14, 2019 **What do you like best about Turbot?** Turbot’s point & click user interface, and consistent hierarchical permissions model. These made it easy to understand and implement our policies. **What do you dislike about Turbot?** Training new members can be difficult if they do not have previous cloud experience as well **What problems is Turbot solving and how is that benefiting you?** "Our organization supports millions of students, educators, and institutions with applications running on AWS that serve tens of thousands of transactions per second.

(or worse, seemingly accepted, and then reverted moments later after their attention has moved elsewhere) **What problems is Turbot solving and how is that benefiting you?** The security footprint of our account has improved with the use of turbot. ### 13.
