We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros
"It's the best solution for any company. It has a hosting ERP system for any task. AWS is stable. AWS is more flexible and its elastic concept is a new concept. AWS is also very secure. It has many layers of security, like hardware security and software security. This is a big issue.""The best feature is its scalability in that Cloud is always on the fly.""The quality of the solution is good." More Amazon AWS CloudSearch Pros »	"In case there is a failure, Elastic manages everything well, and there no major downtime." More Amazon Elasticsearch Service Pros »
Cons
"Maybe they are common in Egypt, but you should make a request on Amazon to create a function to monitor CPU performance, memory, and files. It is very difficult in AWS. I would tell them it should be simple, just drag and drop. I think they could develop this option so we can drag and drop to monitor performance of the processor and memory.""Security is a concern but they're working on it.""The solution should improve the recovery aspects that it has on offer." More Amazon AWS CloudSearch Cons »	"The configuration should be more straightforward because we had to select a lot of things." More Amazon Elasticsearch Service Cons »
