We performed a comparison between Amazon AWS and Cloud Foundry based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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 best features are flexibility and cost."
"The most valuable features of Amazon AWS are the high level of capabilities, cloud-native environment, developer-friendly, intuitive interface, and automation. The solution overall is easy to learn from the resources available."
"It's very user-friendly."
"It's a flexible solution."
"The pricing model is good. It's pay-as-you-go."
"We pretty much like everything and we are excited about the seamless capability the EC2 service is offering."
"It is enough for us in terms of features. We don't have too many transactions, and it is sufficient for our current needs."
"The storage is most valuable. The gateway and documentation are also quite good."
"Cloud Foundry builds the runtime environment directly without requiring dependency management from the user."
"IBM is the only vendor to offer integration with blockchain for smart contract development."
"My favorite component of IBM's solution is Node-RED, which greatly shortens the amount of time required to develop, test, and deploy new applications."
"The networking is overly complex."
"I'd like the solution to be more plug-and-play."
"The interface is relatively complex."
"The initial setup is not easy at all."
"In future releases, I would like to see more automation."
"The features that should be improved are that there should be better clarity on their invoicing. There are so many things they charge for - high line items in the invoice. I think there should be more clarity and more ease of use with their billing. I'd like to see better ease of use of with the billing console and a clear dashboard to understand the usage."
"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."
"The user interface (UI) needs improvement. Right now, it's not the best."
"After the initial excitement period with Node-RED is over, you crave the need of additional integrations to third-party services."
"In IBM Cloud, the product has been deprecated in favor of Kubernetes, which is a more complicated infrastructure to manage."
