Amazon DynamoDB Reviews

Since Amazon DynamoDB is a serverless NoSQL database, we are using it to develop an application that uses a NoSQL database.

Amazon DynamoDB allows you to configure your read-write capacity and create a single global table that can be accessed with any other region.

Amazon DynamoDB has a very complex configuration if you go very advanced.

I have been using Amazon DynamoDB for the past two to three months.

We are very much satisfied with Amazon DynamoDB's global tables feature. It was very easy for me to learn to use Amazon DynamoDB. After one week of upskilling, I was able to query and use the solution. The solution has a very user-friendly interface. If you don't know about queries, you can filter out data with the interface without writing complex queries.

Our company decided to use Amazon DynamoDB because it is a serverless, NoSQL database. Amazon DynamoDB has a very complex configuration if you go very advanced. So, start with the basics and use PK and SK only. After that, you can jump to search indexes. If you have some advanced use cases, the configuration might have some complexities. Amazon DynamoDB has good scalability, and it is very fast for querying.

Overall, I rate the solution ten out of ten.

DynamoDB is suitable for a wide range of applications, from small-scale projects to large-scale and high-traffic applications. Amazon DynamoDB is a high-performance managed service, and AWS fully takes care of the operational parts, including hardware, setup, and maintenance.

Amazon DynamoDB is a fully managed service by AWS, and it is designed to provide fast and predictable performance.

The solution's backup and restore could be improved to be able to utilize batch operations.

I have been using Amazon DynamoDB for more than two years.

Amazon DynamoDB is a stable solution.

Amazon DynamoDB is a scalable solution. More than three people are using the solution in our organization.

The solution’s technical support is good.

The solution’s initial setup is easy.

Amazon DynamoDB is a cheap solution.

Amazon DynamoDB automatically publishes AWS CloudWatch metrics that provide information on health and performance, read-write capacity, system errors, and conditional check fail requests. It is easy for somebody to learn to use Amazon DynamoDB. I would recommend the solution to other users.

Overall, I rate the solution ten out of ten.

It is a NoSQL product. We can write what we want, and it will be stored. We need not worry about the structure. If we want to use a database for small use cases, we can use DynamoDB. If the CPU is high in a day, I can check what time it went high, how many people came into the site, and understand the database usage. Whenever the CPU is high, I send all the data to my database and analyze why it is high so that I can minimize the usage accordingly.

If we want to add another field, we can do so easily. It won’t show any errors. There is no need to migrate. Data modeling is easy. Whatever language we use with the product, we must check how to connect and write it. We must use some DynamoDB functions. I use the product with Lambda.

The pricing for larger databases is higher.

I have been using the solution for one and a half years.

We did not have any issues with the tool’s stability. We did not face any issues with bugs.

The tool’s scalability is good. I rate the scalability a nine out of ten.

The initial setup is straightforward.

We mostly use PostgreSQL.

I have used Amazon RDS. We do not use DynamoDB much. I will recommend the product to others. If we want a small database, Amazon DynamoDB is a good choice. We can use it for larger use cases, too. However, pricing might be high if we opt for the larger database. Overall, I rate the tool a nine out of ten.

We host the cloud version of our software, ENSUR by DocXellent, on EC2 instances with fifteen separate installations currently.

These low-cost, flexible, and scalable VMs are an excellent value for the service they provide.

We also utilize CloudWatch monitoring, the Simple Notification Service, and the VPC solution for VPN connections for us, and for our clients, to these instances.

Previously, our product was exclusively sold as an on-premises solution. Once we decided on AWS for a cloud hosting platform, we were able to increase our sales dramatically. Within less than two years of offering this option, cloud hosted sales now make up more than 50% of our new business.

AWS is forward thinking and always adding new features. I generally cannot think of an area of improvement.

To be honest, AWS and their people know way more about the hosting and infrastructure needs of software developers than me and my team. I can’t think of any features that that could additionally add.

If I were to pick on one area to improve and an area in which they are not equal to or superior to the competition, I would say the user interface. It is far more simplistic that Azure’s slick presentation.

Of course, that is by choice, like the Amazon experience. But there are instances where the next step is not as logically presented as in Azure.

I still maintain that AWS is the unquestioned market leader in regards to features offered and is always introducing new ones in response to what their customers ask for.

They also are leaders in price, ease of use, and support, making them the obvious choice for my company’s cloud IaaS provider.

I have used Amazon AWS for three years.

There have been a couple of well-publicized instances of non-availability, but I think overall downtime of a few hours per year is acceptable.

The biggest problem is that everybody knows about downtime because of how public AWS’s failures are with their high-profile customers, who make news with their downtime.

We have had no problems with scalability.

I would give technical support a rating of 10/10. AWS stands for AWesome Support! They know way more about problems than I do and often patiently teach me while solving an issue.

We occasionally use Azure, alongside AWS, because we have a monthly credit from Microsoft. But AWS was first and all our commercial accounts are on AWS.

I was able to setup a prototype of our application by myself in half an hour. Since then, whenever I need to do something new, rather than read a whitepaper, I just call support and they walk me through it. This is part of the support they happily provide AND without griping about me not trying it by myself first.

You don’t need to look anywhere else. AWS is the leader in price and features, so why mess with success.

We evaluated Azure, Google, Rackspace and several smaller, now extinct companies.

It does the basic stuff. It's an efficient resource, just like a special database.

For us, we are using DynamoDB to store the log credentials or the token, specifically. So that's the use of the service for us.

Speed is the most valuable feature. The speed to store and retrieve data from it.

It would be nice to have some AI features in DynamoDB.

I have been using this solution for around eight months. We don't use the latest version. 

I would rate the stability a ten out of ten. It's very stable.

I would rate the scalability a nine out of ten. Around 50 to 60 users are currently using this solution in our company. We use this solution every day. 

However, we don't plan to increase the usage of the solution because we use it to restore some services when they are deployed.

We were testing different services. We used RDS. We switched to this solution for the necessity of this service. The service was changed, and we needed to create a different architecture for the application.

We did not use AWS CLI or the console to configure the services, so it's easy to do all we need.

So, it was easy to set up DynamoDB. I would rate my experience with the initial setup a nine out of ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy. 

It took a couple of minutes to deploy it. 

We always use Terraform or another EAC tool to create a resource. We never deploy a resource using the console.

One person is enough for the deployment and maintenance of the solution. 

I would rate the pricing a four out of ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive. The price is cheap. It is a cheap service. 

There are additional costs for DynamoDB like the replication and backup configuration.

It's a good service for all kinds of enterprises.  

Overall, I would rate the solution an eight out of ten.

I have set up Amazon DynamoDB and started using it with my product for data insertion, creation, reading, testing, and configuration.

Amazon DynamoDB is a NoSQL database that stores unstructured data and provides high performance.

I initially faced issues with the solution's stability, performance, and security.

I have used Amazon DynamoDB two to three times.

I rate the solution’s stability a seven to eight out of ten.

I rate the solution an eight out of ten for scalability.

The solution’s technical support is good.

The initial setup of the solution is average, and it is neither easy nor difficult. You do need to have some knowledge and experience to set up Amazon DynamoDB.

Given the services and benefits provided by AWS, the solution's pricing is average.

Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

We use the solution to emulate MongoDB for the document database.

The solution is useful for storing JSON documents. DynamoDB is a platform as a service. We don't have to administer the tool. We did not face any challenges while integrating the product with other services.

We use the document database. The primary key is quite slow. The free tier is quite hard to use.

I have worked with the tool for three years.

The tool is stable.

We are satisfied with the scalability of the tool.

The deployment is quite easy. The deployment takes a minute. We need only one engineer to install the solution.

The ROI is very good at the beginning. However, it gets expensive if we use it a lot.

I rate the pricing a six out of ten.

DynamoDB and Cosmos DB are more or less the same. My preference depends on the cloud I am working on. However, I prefer Cosmos DB because I have used it more.

Overall, I rate the product a seven out of ten.

We use the product to store historical data. 

The platform is easy to develop and configure. It requires some knowledge of the tool to access, but the process is simple.

They could provide more information or training programs to deliver knowledge to the engineers about the components of relational databases similar to popular vendors.

We have been using Amazon DynamoDB for a year.

I rate the platform's stability a nine out of ten.

In our organization, around five teams use Amazon DynamoDB. The product is scalable enough to meet the application requirements. We plan to increase the usage in different areas within the enterprise. I rate the scalability a ten out of ten.

The initial setup is simple. It requires three engineers to complete the deployment and takes a few weeks.

We implement the product in-house.

It helps us store user advertising data, enabling efficient analysis and data management. The platform's advantage is related to fast access to real-time information for scalability. We can access the data storage from different zones and versions. We can configure it in a way that can improve writing and reading as well.

It is a good product. It supports a lot of functionalities, scalability, and multiple versions. I rate it an eight out of ten.
