We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros | |
"Their technical support is really good. I am very satisfied." "We have seen an improvement in our infrastructure, as the code makes it very easy to deploy quickly to AWS." "As a service vendor, we have helped clients to achieve faster "go to market" on their products, and have provided highly flexible cost-effective system management solutions." "The solution offers a low footprint. We don't have to come up with a data center ourselves. We basically don't have to own any hardware. We just rent a slice of their platform and we have everything we need." "The most valuable features are load balancers, databases, and S3 buckets." "The most valuable feature is that it is simple." "There are a lot of features that I really like including ease of deployment, ease of build and release, and also that it is heavily focused on a PaaS or SaaS model." "The experience with Amazon AWS is error-free. That was also, of course, something that I really appreciate. That means it's really well-tested and, as published or as declared." | "What I like the most is that we can convert databases into a proper multi-dimensional model, and then we can project with the integration with Power BI." "The solution does provide quite a lot of support, upgrades, automated batch updates, etc." "There's a minimum amount of downtime when using the solution. This platform is very effective." "One of the features that I've found most useful is that It's very simple. They take care of the technical aspects of the data, installations, patches." "The most valuable feature is virtual modeling, which is beneficial because you don't really save the data multiple times the way we did in the past." |
Cons | |
"There's not much room for improvement but that being said, they can improve the overall process of the overall product features and backend." "An easier way to determine estimated costs quickly would be helpful." "This solution would be improved with the inclusion of hybrid Kubernetes management." "They should really consolidate and make things simpler rather than offer you hundreds of random options. The way everything is arranged really forces users to figure out everything on their own and then, on top of that, to calculate the total costs. There's an infinite number of combinations even just with cost calculations. It's just too much." "There are some limitations for certain applications that happen regionally and it is an issue for us." "They can launch the Oracle service in Azure, and we expect that this should be possible in Amazon AWS as well." "One of the problems that I have seen is that some of the products are not as mature as others." "I'm just bugged by the charges that I'm not really able to manage." | "The stability needs to be improved to be able to handle large amounts of data." "Our data centers are in Europe and come under GDPR regulations, and this doesn't apply to the Middle East yet. It causes a lot of confusion." "The customer has a lot of dependencies on SAP which means they don't have much flexibility to go and update the system when or if they need to. They will need to wait for the quarterly updates. It's possible to maybe raise a special request with SAP if it is absolutely necessary." "They should probably offer more cloud services. Most of the cloud infrastructure providers we have make everything pretty transparent, you know what you're getting, you have all these metrics and measurements and everything in the dashboard. Here you have to go through the contracting negotiations and all those things." "This product is not mature enough at this point in time." |
Pricing and Cost Advice | |
"It's my understanding that our company is charged a few hundred dollars on a monthly basis." "I find that Amazon AWS is expensive." "The Oracle licensing is higher than it is with Amazon AWS." "I think they've done a pretty good job with their pricing." "Its price is kind of okay. When we do a migration from on-premises to the cloud, we typically use the lift-and-shift model. Based on the studies that we have done, cost savings are definitely there when we moved from on-premises to the cloud." "The price could be lower." "There are many variables involved in pricing service in AWS and overall the pricing is a bit on the higher side." "AWS is not an expensive product." | "If you choose the minimum, it will probably cost around $1,000 USD per month if you take a contract for a year or two." |

The most central and well-known of these services arguably include Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud, also known as "EC2", and Amazon Simple Storage Service, also known as "S3".
