Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Oracle and others in Infrastructure as a Service Clouds (IaaS)."The initial implementation process is not difficult or complex."
"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."
"I like the storage, all the codes like Lambda and Amazon EMR."
"AWS is easy to manage."
"Amazon AWS is user-friendly and intuitive."
"Amazon has a much better understanding of the workflow of data scientists and machine learning processes. This is seen by their SageMaker which offers different versions of the models to be used."
"It has several valuable features, but the load balancer, auto-scaling, and RDS database are the main ones. It is a complete cloud infrastructure solution."
"Amazon AWS is very stable."
"There are free online learning and certifications if a user would like to learn more and better understand the solution."
"The solution is stable."
"The integrated security saves a lot of time, especially when it comes to setting up user-roles and security. Also, database updates work automatically. There is no need to write queries to update the database, once you make an update."
"Mendix code and coding logic are very visual. It looks like a flow chart rather than lines of code. Rapid development is what drew us to Mendix."
"It is a brilliant solution."
"It is a development platform which assists in accelerating your developmental lifecycle. This is one of its most valuable features. This solution also offers a good set of components that are readily available."
"The development environment is model-driven. We can use the information from this for our business engineers to make the information models, and they can also execute the model."
"There is a free version of the solution you can use."
"One of the issues I'm facing is that my RDS SQL Server version 5.8 is reaching its end of life, and I need to upgrade it to a customer-wanted version. I want to do this on Graviton instances, but Graviton only starts with version 8.0 and currently doesn't support the 5.8 series. We've raised a Priority Feature Request (PFR) with AWS to have this functionality added for at least three months. This would give us enough time to upgrade our database to the 8.0 version without any issues."
"The customization could improve. However, it depends on the customization needed."
"We like everything about the solution except for the general price."
"Monthly costs can be high if you don't maintain your usage"
"There's not much room for improvement but that being said, they can improve the overall process of the overall product features and backend."
"A person with no AWS experience might find it overwhelming at first."
"I would like to receive some alerts when my consumption is getting out of the normal range."
"AWS is very expensive."
"You need experienced programmers and developers to understand this solution."
"In the beginning, it is difficult to learn and work with."
"Mendix is great for internal applications but not so great for a public-facing interface. It lacks a proper directory structure for public use. The URL will not change from page to page unless a deep link is created for each page. That makes it difficult to bookmark pages in the browser to view later on."
"It could use a more comprehensive widget creation studio in the IDE."
"Feature-wise and in terms of technical aspects, Mendix is excellent, but its pricing is steep."
"While the documentation is good, the development box could be better."
"We'd like to be able to write in C Sharp to develop code for Mendix."
"I struggle with solutions like Mendix in terms of creating enterprise solutions."
