In a multi-account/multi-tenant environment, GuardDuty often alerts us to possible malicious traffic before it becomes an issue. The ability to automatically enable GuardDuty creates baseline security which is crucial when an account is first created. It also helps greatly in environments where other users are able to create resources as often GuardDuty alerts us to insecure resources we did not know about. It can however sometimes be a little overzealous with its assessments alerting on benign activity which then requires suppression rules.

It does a good job not only it provides cost estimation but also it provides security measures that we have to take to make sure that we are not vulnerable to attacks. It also gives a performance report which helps to analyze the resource allocation and free resources more effectively.
