"Administering App Engine is simple; it has intuitive UIs and a very scalable app engine."
"I've found that all of the features are valuable, especially the shared drive and the ability for multiple people to use their documents at the same time."

"Its interface could be better because there are so many services right now in the product that it is quite difficult to navigate around in this. Its interface could be a subject of improvement."

"The interface needs a bit of work. It's not intuitive."
"We like everything about the solution except for the general price."

"A person with no AWS experience might find it overwhelming at first."
"There needs to be more directions in terms of how to use the solution."
"I would like a simpler deployment tool on laptops. It is a bit complicated at the moment. We know how to do it, but it could be easier to deploy it on laptops."
"The documentation and community are lacking for this product."
"Data consumption of the device could be improved."
"I am limited to sending a photo to five people. I want to be able to send a photo to many people, not just five."
