Find out in this report how the two PaaS Clouds solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The installation is quite straightforward."
"The solution has good speed. It's very fast."
"Technical support is quite helpful."
"It has many choices of computer options, storage options, and even database options."
"AWS is known for its scalable cloud hosting and computing services. We use various features depending on our needs, including endpoint services, database instances, and EC2 instances."
"The price forecasting and billing dashboard by service, with billing budgets and alerts, have helped us shut down resources that were accruing costs that we no longer needed, saving us money."
"In general, Amazon's performance is good."
"The most valuable features I have found are the Database Migration Service (DMS) for monitoring the host and routing, Route 53, and EC2 tools. The DMS is not available in any other solution that I am aware of. They have a very flexible and professional solution."
"Its ability to integrate with most devices helps users who have different or old devices."
"The product's setup and deployment phases are easy."
"The product's initial setup phase was straightforward, considering that there is good documentation explaining the implementation part of it."
"The initial setup is okay. It's not too complex. Deployment took about one day."
"The WhatApp feature is the most valuable."
"The solution is serverless, so we don't have to operate it."
"Google App Engine's most valuable feature is self-management. You do not have to manage the infrastructure underneath where all the functions are happening, such as load balancing deployment and version management, they are managed by the system itself."
"Administering App Engine is simple; it has intuitive UIs and a very scalable app engine."
"The technical support should be better than what is on offer right now."
"Faster API response times and an improved console experience would be better. Enhanced performance across APIs and the console would streamline our workflows."
"As a result of the competency, I believe that most people are now leaning toward Azure rather than AWS."
"I'm just bugged by the charges that I'm not really able to manage."
"There is room for improvement in pricing."
"The pricing could be adjusted to provide more advantages versus current on-premise solutions for business applications."
"We would like to see if AWS includes any inbuilt automation. Also, we are very interested in AWS's AI/ML features, as well as IoT, AR, and VR."
"In terms of improvement, they should try to give more emphasis to the VoIP system."
"The support for the Indian region is not as good as compared to the support that is offered to the regions in Europe."
"Some features of runtime don't work well in App Engine."
"The only concern is that there is a number of the offerings which are built on their own proprietary technologies. With some of the offerings in Google Cloud, it's difficult to have a path to migrate to other cloud providers."
"Data consumption of the device could be improved."
"I think there's still a lot that can be done with Google Meet and the video conferencing part of it. It could be more dynamic in terms of what can be done with it."
"I would like a simpler deployment tool on laptops. It is a bit complicated at the moment. We know how to do it, but it could be easier to deploy it on laptops."
"The documentation and community are lacking for this product."
"Difficult to assess how pricing is managed."
