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."Amazon AWS has a better portfolio. They have an impressive technology and service portfolio."
"I like the storage, all the codes like Lambda and Amazon EMR."
"I think Amazon AWS is easy to use, and it's a good service. I also like Amazon EKS because it's good."
"For testing, it is a cheap alternative to having to build your own labs."
"I like ETL, the EC2 platform, and Route 53. These features are a great complement to the basic infrastructure of any company. The AWS platform has many features, but the fundamental cloud infrastructure is the most important."
"Stable platform with a straightforward setup. It's user-friendly, with more reliable servers compared to the competition."
"Amazon AWS is easy to use and in the past two years, I've never had any issues with scalability or stability."
"The most valuable features are load balancers, databases, and S3 buckets."
"There are a lot of services available in VMware Tanzu Application Service, such as databases and application servers. You have everything you need in one application and you do not need to search outside of the solution."
"Tanzu is easy to upgrade and scale, whether we're talking about horizontal or vertical scaling. It is as smooth as possible without any downtime. The platform maintenance, upgrading, and operations part is very smooth."
"The solution is integrated very well with a lot of other systems. Also, its GUI is very good."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the ability to check the flow of all the different variants within our applications."
"Instead of using some third-party solutions, Amazon should include them as part of its offering."
"The difficulty of the implementation depends on the project. We have a lot of very complicated and complex project which make the implementation more difficult. However, a small project can be very simple to implement. In general, over 90% of the project tend to be complex implementations."
"I'd like to see AWS implement consolidated billing for businesses operating under one group. We want to consolidate the functionalities but keep the billing separate. That is a challenge we've faced, and I feel it's something they can improve on. For example, maybe you have three businesses that are operating under one group, and you want each entity to have a separate bill for the respective workload that they're using."
"It just needs to be improved from the security perspective."
"User personalization and robotic process automation services need to be mature enough. More APIs are required for robotic process automation services. Azure is more mature in terms of user personalization and robotic process automation services. The document processing can also be better. Whenever we want to do any kind of document management, I try to do OCR, ICR, etc. The functionality in AWS has to be more like that."
"They are mainly generalists without access to the operating system. As such, they can provide container level insights,not necessarily at the application level."
"There is room for improvement in pricing."
"Not all of the functionality is available in Europe and our customers in France want to be able to use features that are only available in the US."
"The implementation is not easy, it is very complex and can take a day or two to complete."
"The solution's initial setup process was complex...The solution could benefit from improved customization and visibility for its users."
"The solution is currently focused on VMware infrastructure and I would like to see more options made available."
"Tanzu could provide more granular control over whatever networking is being done on the containers. I would also like to see a slightly more detailed view of application-level tracing. I'm referring to the connections between different microservices. If they added a service-matching feature, that would be helpful for the customers to build or be more effective."
