In general, the cost management in Amazon is complicated. It's not too straightforward. That's a little bit of a problem that they have.
Sometimes, their interface is kind of old. We see that they're trying to move forward and modernize, however, they've gotten a little bit behind compared to, for example, Azure, which obviously started later, and yet, has a better interface. Not better. I would like it if it was easier to reach certain items.
We have quite a bit of experience with AWS.
We have found scalability to be the most useful aspect of the product so far. it's very easy to expand to whatever size you need.
We also use Azure and Oracle.
While AWS is more mature, Azure has updated its user interface and seems more modern in comparison.
We implement the solutions for our clients if they need us to. We deal with AWS, Azure, and Oracle for the most part.
We are an implementor.
I'd rate the solution at an eight out of ten. We've mostly been pleased with the solution's capabilities.
We use this solution for the EC2, and IAM Management, and Lambda. I am using this solution to gain more knowledge, to educate myself.
I like that is very easy to use and that it's flexible.
The price needs improvement.
I have been using this solution for one month.
We are using the latest version.
It's a stable solution.
It's a scalable product. I am the only user of this solution.
We plan to continue using this solution.
I am a beginner, I am satisfied with the support.
I did not use any other solution.
There is no installation, it's a cloud solution.
It's expensive.
It should be cheaper.
I would recommend this solution to others who are interested in using it.
I would rate Amazon AWS a nine out of ten.
There is a large list of products that are available in the cloud, from computing to mail hosting and server services that are available in the AWS cloud.
They provide you with computing resources and IT services.
In terms of features, I would rate it a nine.
This is a product that is easy to use and highly available. The availability is good, you can get any service you need immediately.
I have been using Amazon AWS for five or six years.
It's very stable.
It's a very scalable product. We have 200 users in our organization who are using AWS.
They provide support at different levels.
Previously, we did not use another solution.
We use our own server in the cloud or we use AWS.
It is in the cloud, there is no installation.
Pricing, I would rate a five out of ten. AWS is very expensive.
It's paid on a monthly basis and you have to pay for the resources that you use.
There is no licensing in AWS, you pay per usage.
We have reduced usability to a few situations because we have our own hosting cloud server.
I would not recommend this solution, I would recommend something from the competitors.
I would rate Amazon AWS a seven out of ten.
I am a consultant and Amazon AWS is one of the platforms that I use.
The best features are flexibility and cost.
Scaling is an area that can be improved. For example, I would like to be able to change the amount of memory that is allocated to a server. This would give us better performance. I know that it can be done but it isn't obvious how to do it.
I have been working with Amazon AWS for between two and three years.
The technical support is good. We contacted them when we were working on a project and they were both knowledgeable and helpful.
The initial setup is easy.
There is some design that has to be done, including security and zoning.
The price for AWS is good.
I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.
We mainly use AWS, EC2, and RDS. We also use the BI tools and the data warehouse.
The most important feature is deploying our production in multi-data regions around the world.
I think the price can be improved. The price is high now, and Amazon's web portal can be improved.
We have been using Amazon AWS for about four years.
Amazon AWS is a stable solution.
It's scalable now that EC2 can support scaling.
The initial setup is straightforward, and we deploy our production every week.
The price can be better.
On a scale from one to ten, I would give Amazon AWS a five.
I have my own company, so I am not personally working with it. Rather, my team is working with this solution.
My experience with AWS has been good. AWS is a good vehicle to get your business started without too much of an upfront investment.
I like the flexibility of this solution. It's quick ramp up, ramp down, being able to provide the resources at a click of a button.
If you wanted to try a new solution or try it out for a Proof of Concept then provisioning the EC2 and the S3 buckets is very quick.
In addition to that, the sums of scaling operations.
The dashboard is very easy to use.
Its real-time support is pretty good.
I would appreciate more direct support from AWS. I have some good personal contacts with AWS and through that, I am able to get some help. But, on a professional level with a small to medium-sized enterprise that needs any direct support from AWS, it is not supported. It is typically a part of the business model. They encourage you to go through one of their Implementation partners.
I have been using Amazon AWS for two and a half years.
The overall stability of the product is good.
We have not used the technical support from AWS, because we are a company without a partnership. We contact their implementation partners for support. We also work closely with our client's implementation partners who have been fairly helpful. They have been able to deliver.
The technical support from AWS has not been very forthcoming. It is very difficult to get.
We also use Lambda functions, such as trolling, multi-threaded, and compute as a service model. That is very interesting.
We liked it very much, and we use it for some of our clients.
Pricing is reasonable, but as your usage goes up, AWS has a provision for businesses, and there's an option of locking it for three years.
I think that they also give discounts. Although, as your scale of operation goes up, I think the price probably becomes too high.
As a startup business, it's very well priced, but if a number of transactions go up, clients have voiced that they are in a situation and feel a type of pressure and desire to move out of AWS.
They feel this way only once the scale of operation goes beyond a critical mass or critical threshold. It becomes a completely managed service beyond a point, and then it no longer remains cost-effective. Our usage goes up as well as the monthly recurring costs.
So the price is something they should definitely look at. They should look at some kind of cost or price optimization, as the scale grows up large, the more the economies of scale keep in. They should try to become more competitive.
Overall, I am very happy in the technicality area.
I would rate Amazon AWS a nine out of ten.
I use this product for hosting business applications like SAP on the AWS infrastructure. We have some new customers in Egypt and out of Egypt. This solution is magnificent.
In our company, Amazon provides us with a lot of help like training for our staff. They always support us with any service or any solution. The security updates is perfect. and also supports for customers.
There are many benefits to AWS. For our customers, it optimizes their TCO. In terms of computing, they can scale up and out.
There's not specific things for improvement but that being said, they can improve the overall process and features of the product and to enhancement the stability.
It's stable enough. In terms of actual numbers, it's 99.99% stable.
Scalability is really perfect. I can make any scale anytime, whether I scale out or scale up.
Their technical support is really good. I am very satisfied.
Amazon is the leader in the public cloud categories, it has the largest market shares. I ask our customers why they're not using it.
I would rate this solution a 9.5 out of ten. It's the leader in the public cloud and a leader in the market.
I would recommend it to any customer using another solution. I would offer it as an alternative to another similar solution like IBM, Google and Azure.
4 years.
(1) Self-service without upfront cost
(2) Pay as you go & continual cost/price reduction
(3) Pervasive service offerings with continual improvement
We were developing a sync-and-share cloud service + mobile/desktop application for multimedia products at that time (2009). It saved lots of development & testing efforts compared to traditional IT process. As you know, multimedia files take tons of storage space, IaaS's pay as you go and no upfront cost was a major deciding factor to develop that project/product.
(1) ELB stress testing is problematic for us at that time.
(2) Better technical support for those without paying AWS Premium Support.
I have the vague impression that we did run into some issues, but I don't remember the context.
3.5 out of 5.
3.5 out of 5. We didn't purchase/subscribe AWS Premium Support at that time, so we got very limited technical support from AWS forum, and AWS technical staff in Singapore. As AWS's expanded into different geographic regions with local team support, expect it should be better now.
Relatively straightforward, but would be more complex when taking security into consideration.
In-house.
Different projects have different business goals and requirements (business & technical). We evaluated different vendors' service offerings for different projects/products. For instance, the aforementioned multimedia sync-and-share project was built on top of AWS. We also built a device firmware update service and a connection management service on top of AWS. However, for another online video editing, social-driven free cloud service, we built it on top of GAE instead.
As mentioned in previous answer, different projects have different functional and non-functional requirements. All perspectives from operation, management, and development should be evaluated for cloud service platforms.
