We performed a comparison between Amazon EC2 and Rackspace Cloud [EOL] 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."What we have found most valuable is that we have not lost stability in the program."
"We find it easy to scale."
"The most valuable features of Amazon EC2 are ease of use and the services offered."
"The most valuable features of Amazon EC2 are content delivery and adaptability."
"The product is easy and quick to set up."
"EC2 provides a lot of flexibility. If you don't want to have a separate on-premise database, you can put it on the cloud with EC2. You can adjust the instance type according to your needs. You select a size and get a certain amount of specific memory, CPUs, etc. You set the redirect limit, and from there, you install the software, database servers, application servers, and whatever you want."
"The amount of bandwidth has been most valuable."
"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 most valuable feature for us is the support, which is really efficient."
"There is easy integration with multiple providers and third-party services."
"Image backup is a valuable feature. Even though this is a common feature, it is very helpful for us."
"The tool’s stability could be better."
"Amazon EC2 could improve the stability."
"Its price can be reduced."
"The solution’s pricing and downtimes could be improved."
"The solution is pretty expensive."
"They can build automatic features for ENSS or network drive. They have the Control-M feature. Similarly, they should have a feature for the network drive that can be mapped. I have not seen such a feature. They have a lot of products but those are quite costly. There is no cheaper option available for the EC2 instance for syncing two drives. If these features are available, it would be good."
"Amazon EC2 could improve the console view. The ability to see the console view directly would be helpful, similar to what VMware has. Additionally, when the system is rebooting we are able to see a screenshot of the UI, but it would be a lot better if we could interact directly with the console level."
"Current inability to change the resource service levels."
"It would be nice to have more built-in suites compared to others. It would enable easier integration."
"It doesn't offer Elastic IP like AWS. And also we can't configure our server based on region."
