"It is easy to set up."
"ECS is the most valuable feature of the solution."
"It is a scalable product. So, scaling up or scaling down is possible."
"The installation is easy."
"Alibaba support is responsive. When we create tickets in the Alibaba portal, they usually respond online or call me in five minutes."
"What's good about Alibaba Cloud is its database service. It's also good in the virtual machine area."
"We use the product for storage and as a VPN."
"Technical support from Jelastic is very good."
"The advanced level of production-ready Docker hosting, one-click application deployment, and the truly flexible pricing."
"The dynamic vertical scaling is a unique feature."
"The control is valuable. It's really easy to use and you have good control of your solutions."
"The solution is scalable, and that is what we are looking at. There is no learning curve as we have not done much research."
"It is not robust."
"The majority of the tools and processes, in general, have a lot of room for improvement."
"Alibaba Cloud needs to increase availability in Thailand."
"Users use websites as a tutorial. However, the Alibaba Cloud website has the content, and the scripts are copied from Amazon Web Services. We had received customer feedback where the customer asked us to get formulate original content instead of copying from Amazon Web Services. It’s very odd and awkward."
"The solution should have more integration."
"Alibaba Cloud has some problems related to latency and connection issues. If you go for a cloud solution provider, you will need to access the Internet, which may result in latency and bandwidth issues, leading to slowness in operations."
"The user experience must be improved."
"From the improvement point of view, there are lots of issues that we are facing. In all the areas, it seems like it is not mature. For example, a customer wants to provision some VM that has many configurations. If I want to show the price to the customer, it is very challenging. The SDK that Alibaba has provided is very limited. We can have the pricing for VM, but we cannot have pricing for RDS databases or some other services. This is a big concern area for us. They should put more effort into the SDKs or APIs that they provide, for example, pricing APIs or pricing SDK. They do not provide support for most of the services they provide. For example, if I want to get the price of MongoDB, that SDK is not available from Alibaba. Similarly, robust API support is required for S3, which is OSS or Object Storage, so that we can read the data in a faster manner, for example, in chunks. We have raised many issues with the Alibaba support team, and they have been fixing the issues after we report them."
"The security layers also need to be improved because there is no clear layer or tier of security in the solution."
"The backup features need improvement, or rather it should be added, as I could not find it."
"For now, some customers are requesting support of Docker containers for Windows."
"Lacks better integration into enterprise storage products."
"The backup functionality needs to be improved."
