What do you dislike about Bastillion for EC2?

Bastillion for EC2 has some cool features, but I've found it can add a bit of extra weight, especially if you're dealing with a smaller setup. If you're just managing a handful of instances, it might feel like overkill compared to simpler, lighter options out there. Plus, running a separate app just for SSH management can seem a bit unnecessary, especially if you're already used to the traditional ways. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
