"Clear Visibility and Continuous Compliance Tracking with AWS Config"

4/5

What do you like best about AWS Config?

What I like most about AWS Config is that it continuously tracks AWS resource configurations and gives clear visibility into infrastructure changes over time. It supports governance across cloud environments by recording configuration history and automatically evaluating resources against defined compliance rules.

For organizations managing multiple AWS accounts and services, this makes it much easier to spot configuration drift, security violations, and other non-compliant resources without relying on manual audits. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Config?

The service can generate a large volume of configuration records in complex environments, which may increase costs if not managed properly. Creating and maintaining custom compliance rules also requires some expertise, especially for organization-wide governance requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is AWS Config solving and how is that benefiting you?

AWS Config helps solve cloud governance, compliance, and configuration management challenges.

Example:

We use AWS Config to monitor whether S3 buckets are publicly accessible, verify encryption settings on RDS databases, and ensure security groups comply with internal standards. Instead of manually auditing resources, AWS Config continuously evaluates configurations and alerts teams when resources become non-compliant.

This significantly improves security posture and reduces the effort required for compliance reviews. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
