Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The ecosystem offered by the product has almost everything.""There is no downtime. The solution is reliable.""Cloud Trail API log storage.""Scalability is one of the biggest benefits we have.""We use AWS for multiple purposes, such as developing APIs and API integration using API Gateway. We use API Gateway, Python Combinator, Lambda Glue, and ETL Process. We have used EMR for big data processing. If we need a tool for computing, we go with the Lamda DMS. There are many services available in AWS that meet our needs.""Stable platform with a straightforward setup. It's user-friendly, with more reliable servers compared to the competition.""The interface of the solution is good.""We've built several AI ML solutions and done lots of work on the GPUs available on Amazon servers. We did a lot of work around web spidering, natural language processing, and machine learning or deep learning workloads."

More Amazon AWS Pros →

"The framework supports auto-configuration. A lot of features are already there. It is reliable and user-friendly to develop code, back-end engineering, or locate specific information such as addresses.""Backing up and recovery for my domain is very easy and fast. In addition, applying patches and undoing applied patches is effective and easy to do.""The solution's technical support is good.""The ability to manage security and access the server from any location with complete security using SSH is perfect for performing crucial tasks, even while travelling.""Self-provisioning, easy to choose from WebLogic 11g to 12c.""Cloud has provided less maintenance.""The automated features of auto-purging in 12c helps clear disk space on a routine basis.""One key feature is getting to choose the Virtual Machine configurations while setting up the server, which is an automated process."

Cons
"If you have not had previous training or studied guides it will be a little difficult to use the solution. However, the difficulty also depends on what you are using the solution for. They can improve by providing more documentation, such as tutorials and videos.""They do not yet have a complete solution for APM monitoring. But this, along with real user monitoring, is something that they are actively working on improving.""It can be daunting because of the number of AWS products there are.""Amazon tools are for more mature DevOps. The process and the Dev is very good, but it doesn't compare to the ease of using the Google Cloud Platform.""Accessing apps on AWS via my iPhone is awful.""It should be easier to monitor the performance and generate analytic information so that we can determine how to provide better support for our clients.""They should have a better big data stack.""Many of our clients prefer in-house cloud rather than the application data sitting in the infrastructure owned and managed by Amazon."

More Amazon AWS Cons →

"The product is satisfactory but we need more training on managing the machine itself. For example, how do we add more storage, how do we extend a specific portion? I would like to see videos illustrating some of the technical tasks that we often need to do.""There are issues with the application's development, including small glitches and errors.""The product's high price is an area of concern where improvements are required.""Needs better integration with other Oracle/non-Oracle products."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Be careful with your consumption, especially when you are testing things. Costs can creep up on you relatively fast, without even noticing."
  • "AWS is scalable depending on your needs so pricing is dependant on what you use."
  • "It is decently priced. The competition is also bringing its own cloud offerings, such as from Oracle."
  • "When we shifted the load to AWS we paid a high cost as the mail stores were hosted on EBS. The storage cost drastically reduced after moving to S3."
  • "If you can plan capacity for one or three years, you can use the upfront payment option which allows you to save up to 50%."
  • "One of the best thing in Amazon AWS is you are billed for the service you use."
  • "We are reducing costs year-over-year."
  • "Much faster than other solutions at a super low cost."

Amazon has dropped its prices 21 times since it debuted its cloud six years ago and fairly consistently fills whatever gaps it has in the size of virtual machine instances on its platform - the company recently rolled out new high-memory instances, for example. There are some cautions for Amazon though. Namely, its cloud has experienced three major outages in two years. One analyst, Jillian Mirandi of Technology Business Researcher, has suggested that continued outages could eventually start hindering businesses' willingness to invest in Amazon infrastructure. That sentiment gets to a larger point about AWS though - the service seems to be popular in the startup community, providing the IT… Read more →
