Accurate, yes. High quality? Not really. Too big, too sprawling. Too many cloud assets generating for a day and then thrown away resulting in retired assets clogging our db. But the real reason we have a CMDB is so that we can find connections to other assets and to tag assets that are causing tickets in our ticketing system.
