What do you like best about Kion?

The software continues to improve over time and the team is responsive. The platform itself also provides an easy way to view costs and deploy these 'cloud rules'. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Being one of the larger customers, we run into issues and bugs others do not. Examples are our users generating extra entries that clogs api requests and our cloud rules having issues deploying. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Kion solving and how is that benefiting you?

Allowing our users to easily access their accounts and for us to easily deploy accounts in minutes. We are definitely more productive and it has allowed us to do other work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's difficult to consider anything about this product as a dislike. The only thing that comes to mind is that it would be nice if the dashboard page was a bit more customizable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Kion?

As a It's super easy to just find the account I need to log into, grab thee login credentials for a quick CLI command, or bring up the console for more detailed work. My managers can let me view the proper accounts that I'm supposed to have access to. My managers like the ability to quickly send cloudformation scripts to new accounts to comply for compliance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kion?

The billing options seem very useful, but it never feels like it's up-to-date. I always have to go back to the AWS billing console to be absolutely sure that the stuff on screen is the right information. When using credits to pay for accounts, the billing info just doesn't show up (it says I spent 0% of a planned 10,000). Perhaps this is due to misconfiguration, but I don't feel like I can trust it as a source of truth when it comes to billing. The API is also confusing, lacking in features that also should be there (why can I create a billing account/source?) and changes very often, making it unreliable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Kion:

See how it compares to using Amazon SSO. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Kion solving and how is that benefiting you?

Being able to manage a bunch of accounts at once. We have an account that manages important DNS, we have accounts for specific projects, and we have our own dev accounts. It would be a nightmare if I needed to manage these credentials manually. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Kion?

I like the single dashboard to view multiple clouds. I am still very junior to Kion but I can see it being very useful across multiple clouds, Azure, AWS and Google. AWS IAM sounds like the best piece of Kion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kion?

It's a little difficult to configure. And PAYG Azure subscriptions are not supported by Kion which makes demo of the product difficult. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Kion:

Better documentation in the setup. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Kion solving and how is that benefiting you?

Kion has been assisting some of STS customers and engaging with us to complete the setup. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
