Find out what your peers are saying about Amazon Web Services (AWS), Apache, Zadara and others in Compute Service."The most important aspects are that the solution is scalable and easy to manage."
"The most valuable feature of Amazon EC2 is its ability to spin a new virtual machine in a few seconds."
"Configuration can be changed at any time and it's very scalable."
"Amazon EC2 is really reliable and provides great flexibility."
"We find it easy to scale."
"The greatest benefit of Amazon EC2 is its versatility, including the diverse range of servers available and the ability to connect to various resources."
"The product is easy to set up."
"EC2 is flexible when we need to increase its resources (memory, boosting, and storage) based on our usage. That is the power of EC2."
"I like the way the UI looks, and the real-time analytics service is aligned to this. That can be helpful if I have to use this on a production service."
"The integrations for this solution are easy to use and there is flexibility in integrating the tool with Azure Stream Analytics."
"I appreciate this solution because it leverages open-source technologies. It allows us to utilize the latest streaming solutions and it's easy to develop."
"It's a product that can scale."
"I like all the connected ecosystems of Microsoft, it is really good with other BI tools that are easy to connect."
"The most valuable features are the IoT hub and the Blob storage."
"Real-time analytics is the most valuable feature of this solution. I can send the collected data to Power BI in real time."
"We use Azure Stream Analytics for simulation and internal activities."
"EC2 could be improved with easier migration."
"The initial deployment was complex."
"The only issue with EC2 is that it makes it difficult to install an LLS certificate on your WordPress website that you have deployed inside that virtual machine. That becomes complicated."
"I would like to see as much automation for data validation as possible in the future."
"An area for improvement in Amazon EC2 is the cost because it's a bit higher than competitor pricing."
"The monitoring part could be improved. When we're building and configuring things or doing database replication, EC2's monitoring could provide more information. It's hard to find the information I need in the graphs they provide."
"The product needs to improve its cost management."
"It's not the best of the best because we still have issues with downtime. We still have issues with the cost of storage, with all these different instance styles, and how much it costs. They cost an arm and a leg the higher you go."
"The solution doesn't handle large data packets very efficiently, which could be improved upon."
"Early in the process, we had some issues with stability."
"If something goes wrong, it's very hard to investigate what caused it and why."
"We would like to have centralized platform altogether since we have different kind of options for data ingestion. Sometimes it gets difficult to manage different platforms."
"The UI should be a little bit better from a usability perspective."
"I would like to have a contact individual at Microsoft."
"It is not complex, but it requires some development skills. When the data is sent from Azure Stream Analytics to Power BI, I don't have the access to modify the data. I can't customize or edit the data or do some queries. All queries need to be done in the Azure Stream Analytics."
"Its features for event imports and architecture could be enhanced."
