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."AWS has a lot of flexibility, which is great."
"The most valuable features of Amazon AWS are ease of use, deployment, and short lead time. If you are using an on-premise solution, you need to wait for the hardware, and nowadays it is very difficult, the lead time becomes very long. We propose to our customers to use Amazon AWS because it is very easy, no need to wait for hardware delivery."
"I am happy with the dashboard."
"The scalability of the product is the solution's most valuable feature."
"As a service vendor, we have helped clients to achieve faster "go to market" on their products, and have provided highly flexible cost-effective system management solutions."
"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."
"There are many valuable features, I find the EMR in the platform easy to use and to learn."
"It has good reporting and documentation."
"Its ability to integrate with most devices helps users who have different or old devices."
"The WhatApp feature is the most valuable."
"The product's setup and deployment phases are easy."
"I've found that all of the features are valuable, especially the shared drive and the ability for multiple people to use their documents at the same time."
"Administering App Engine is simple; it has intuitive UIs and a very scalable app engine."
"Seurity features - unauthorized individuals are unable to access certain applications."
"The initial setup is okay. It's not too complex. Deployment took about one day."
"The solution is serverless, so we don't have to operate it."
"I would appreciate more direct support from AWS."
"In terms of improvement, they should try to give more emphasis to the VoIP system."
"In future releases, I would like to see more automation."
"The user interface (UI) needs improvement. Right now, it's not the best."
"They should really consolidate and make things simpler rather than offer you hundreds of random options. The way everything is arranged really forces users to figure out everything on their own and then, on top of that, to calculate the total costs. There's an infinite number of combinations even just with cost calculations. It's just too much."
"Requires better integration with other cloud products."
"The pricing is expensive"
"We have had several issues with the products and services but as of now, there are no good alternatives."
"Some features of runtime don't work well in App Engine."
"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."
"There needs to be more directions in terms of how to use the solution."
"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."
"The support for the Indian region is not as good as compared to the support that is offered to the regions in Europe."
"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 am limited to sending a photo to five people. I want to be able to send a photo to many people, not just five."
