We performed a comparison between Amazon EC2 and AWS Compute Optimizer based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Amazon Web Services (AWS), Apache, Zadara and others in Compute Service."The amount of bandwidth has been most valuable."
"We don't have to worry about scalability issues or maintenance or security. It's all taken care of."
"What I found most valuable in Amazon EC2 is that you only pay for what you use, versus an on-premise deployment that requires you to pay for the cost of the server. When it's on-premise, you'll need to meet more specifications and requirements, and the purchasing process even takes time. As Amazon EC2 is cloud-based, you'll only pay when you use the service."
"The ability to bring up servers and then do the computation and deposit means we don't have to maintain a data center. Everything is virtual and the security is also taken care of. It helps us to achieve compliance. Being a small startup with the security features that AWS provides helps us with compliance."
"The scalability of Amazon EC2 is good. However, the stability can depend on what service I am using."
"I use it for NextCloud and for developer purposes."
"The ethernet configuration is stable and the product is reliable."
"The most important aspects are that the solution is scalable and easy to manage."
"I find the solution's scaling capability to be an important benefit. You can scale it vertically or horizontally, i.e., you can upgrade the hardware or clone the machine. The solution is also easy to manage and flexible. Additionally, you get some layers of security without paying for it."
"The GUI used to deploy EC2 must be improved."
"The ease of migrating applications could be improved."
"Lacks sufficient tools to help users minimize their costs."
"am concerned about the tool's data security."
"The tool’s stability could be better."
"We're expecting to have Graviton instances. Graviton means it's not internal, it's a low-cost instance. At present time, Graviton is not supported for a few packages."
"The initial deployment was complex."
"One of the challenges is the AMI upgrades."
"I have two areas of improvement to comment on. Most of the product names in AWS are not indicative of what they are doing. Moreover, AWS is not organized and you do not have the full platform with you. It is hard to know some AWS services."
