The paid version offers numerous controls, though some are still absent. It includes approximately 480 Advisor checks overall. Enhancing these checks would increase my reliance on Trusted Advisor before turning to more detailed services. However, the integration between Trusted Advisor and Security Hub occasionally confuses as there are many overlapping AWS services and the same finding can be duplicated.
Cost is a significant factor that needs improvement. Reducing the cost would make it more beneficial for all users. Additionally, integrating AI features that not only provide recommendations yet also implement them on behalf of the user would enhance the product.
Maybe adding more security rules would be great. It comes with around 20-25 baseline rules. If you want more, like 300-400 rules, you'd need to purchase Security Hub from AWS. So, more built-in rules would be good.

For EC2 instances, we need to install the AWS CloudWatch agent to get the memory metric because we don't have a by-default memory utilization graph on cost optimization. It will only show the network and CPU utilization, and based on these two parameters, we cannot downsize the infra. We need metrics so that we can make a decision to upsize or downsize it.

It's been good so far. We haven't found any weak areas. Whenever they suggest anything or any changes in the environment, we cannot click and simply implement those changes. We have to go and rectify everything and do the changes manually. Rather than that, if they can do some sort of automation implemented in the AWS Trusted Advisor, that would be ideal. I'd like the solution to support clouds beyond AWS.
AWS Trusted Advisor is your customized cloud expert! It helps you to observe best practices for the use of AWS by inspecting your AWS environment with an eye toward saving money, improving system performance and reliability, and closing security gaps.

The tenancy must be free for all metrics. However, it is free only for ten.
