Amazon AWS CloudSearch Reviews Summary
Author infoRatingReview Summary
Sr PeopleSoft Consultant at People Tech4.5As a PeopleSoft consultant, I find AWS excellent for accessing client databases and providing solutions. It's stable, scalable, and easy to set up, with efficient resource management that saves costs. My main concern is its cost competitiveness against other clouds.
Chief Information Officer at Mobica Advanced4.5We use Amazon AWS CloudSearch as our hosting solution for systems like Rubrik and SAP due to its efficiency. However, there is room for improvement in rebooting and VBC collection. We switched from IBM due to their high support costs.
System Administrator at Kenyatta National Hospital5.0I've used Amazon AWS CloudSearch personally and found its cloud storage and applications valuable, especially for SQL servers and SAP HANA testing. Despite its scalability and straightforward setup, I'd like improved database features and lower licensing costs. AWS provides acceptable ROI and stability.
Modern Data Center and Cloud Engineer II at IE Network Solutions PLC4.5I've used Amazon AWS CloudSearch for six months, valuing its quick data access for unstructured storage. Setup is simple, and it's stable and scalable, but I find the pricing expensive. I would recommend it, rating it nine out of ten.
Product Manager - Cloud at Orient Technologies Pvt. Ltd.5.0We've implemented AWS CloudSearch for a client to enhance autocomplete suggestions and search features. It supports 34 languages, offers easy setup, stability, scalability, and excellent support. We're satisfied with the fair pricing and have achieved 100% ROI.
Product Line Manager at Edgecore4.0I use Amazon AWS CloudSearch for cloud application storage. Its key benefit is being cloud-native, eliminating physical infrastructure. It's stable, easy to set up, and I recommend it, despite internet-dependent speed.
Co-Founder at B2Metrik1.5I found AWS CloudSearch offers good performance and easy scaling. However, its documentation is unclear, on-premise is unstable, and support is poor. I'm switching to Azure and rate it 3/10.
Consultant / Sr. Manager at a consultancy with 501-1,000 employees4.0I value AWS CloudSearch for its excellent scalability, though security remains a concern they are addressing. Setup is simple, stability good, and support helpful. I recommend it, rating it eight out of ten.
