"The initial setup is pretty easy."
"The most valuable features are the usability and customer service."
"The environment is super fast so you get all the underlying machines behind the data. It's a good processing machine, especially in the Generation Two Cloud."

"When you need to add some custom rules to Amazon Lightsail, the auto scaling feature is a bit difficult."

"To improve, I feel the disk management is too basic. I can't easily partition the disk for the operating system. I have to follow the main configuration that is already set up in the template.

"The tool should provide more options like other cloud services. Also, it should improve scalability with the free version."
"The solution is expensive. So we try to use MySQL on AWS to push the data. The tool’s support could be improved."
