Manages multiple accounts efficiently with streamlined billing and centralized oversight
The main feature of AWS Organizations that I find valuable is the management of multiple accounts. I can manage billing, access, and security for all accounts from a single point instead of managing them separately. It provides a single pane of glass for oversight. Additionally, its consolidated billing feature streamlines customer financial workflows. Since it is a free service, it is cost-effective for managing multiple accounts.

Reasonably priced, stable, with out of the box deployment, and has good local support
They have now reworked it. The interface is mobile-friendly and it is getting a good response from our customers. It's a very good feature that the product offers. It is also available as a cloud option, which is getting a lot of interest from customers who are looking into the GRCC. It is very useful, especially in the solution platform. It has good features and good functionality, and our customers feel there is a lot of merit in that. I think that the portal is constantly improving. They do their own enhancements very often. They keep doing those enhancements from their site itself.
