It's really good if your infrastructure services is all in AWS, that means everything could be audited and monitored using AWS config. You also can create alarms to notify you or your team about any changes on your AWS resources which is very useful to prevent abuse if you have a fairly large team. It's also very useful whenever some third party wants to audit your AWS resources, if you have a fairly comprehensive AWS config configured, the auditing process will be easy since they only need to look at your AWS config setup.

It seems to be adequate for those companies that have a lot of information and have the need for many of their workers to integrate or can visualize their information quickly and at any time. It helps to save space on the company's servers and it is very easy to access, it is also easy to use and understand, and it is a scalable storage system

Would rate lower for other workloads but for AWS workloads its simple to set up, cost effective and customisable. Primary use case is compliance from a governance perspective.

I do not know or have used any other product in AWS cloud space that matches what AWS Config provides. We have some custom built monitoring and governance, however that is there because AWS Config does not provide it currently.

Basically this cloud is much more practical than others, it is fast and have greater storage capacity, but in reality, almost all cloud applications have the same function.
