We performed a comparison between Amazon AWS and Oracle Java Cloud Service 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."We can spin up the server anytime and have root access to it."
"Amazon AWS is very user-friendly."
"The technical support is good."
"The environment is a rich playground, and if you tried to do the same things on-premises that you do on AWS, it would be a lot more challenging to execute. You can open up a virtual machine on AWS, run some experiments, and be done with it. It's much easier than buying new servers, provisioning them, etc"
"It's very stable and the performance is good."
"It's quite stable and scalable. The price is good as well."
"Technical support has been great."
"The reason I like AWS is that they have a large market share and a large presence. When it comes to our use case, a big positive is that MuleSoft and AWS are working together very well. So instead of competing against each other, they're meshing together."
"Cloud has provided less maintenance."
"Backing up and recovery for my domain is very easy and fast. In addition, applying patches and undoing applied patches is effective and easy to do."
"One key feature is getting to choose the Virtual Machine configurations while setting up the server, which is an automated process."
"The automated features of auto-purging in 12c helps clear disk space on a routine basis."
"The solution's technical support is good."
"Self-provisioning, easy to choose from WebLogic 11g to 12c."
"The auto-backup, incremental backup and restoration features can be invaluable for management."
"The ability to manage security and access the server from any location with complete security using SSH is perfect for performing crucial tasks, even while travelling."
"There should be seminars and online training sessions available from AWS because a lot of people who are not using it would benefit from having the basic knowledge or basic hands-on experience."
"Somehow Amazon associated their marketplace as a place to find images of various installs (preconfigured software) and was late in the game enabling and promoting SaaS-based solutions. Thus, the AWS marketplace has near zero awareness in the mind of the prospect to find solutions to various problems plaguing them."
"The feedback we are getting from our customers, especially here in Turkey where the exchange rate fluctuates regularly, is that the solution is quite expensive."
"One of the problems that I have seen is that some of the products are not as mature as others."
"I'm just bugged by the charges that I'm not really able to manage."
"I generally don't like the user experience of Amazon. It's not the best."
"Amazon AWS could be improved with cheaper licensing costs."
"Its only cons are on the data warehouse side. AWS' data warehouse Redshift is not as good as it should be."
"The product's high price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The product is satisfactory but we need more training on managing the machine itself. For example, how do we add more storage, how do we extend a specific portion? I would like to see videos illustrating some of the technical tasks that we often need to do."
"Needs better integration with other Oracle/non-Oracle products."
"There are issues with the application's development, including small glitches and errors."
