Alibaba Cloud Reviews Summary
Author infoRatingReview Summary
Site Reliability Engineer at EPAM Systems4.0I used Alibaba Cloud for deploying a product with multiple services like servers and databases, but found its support frustrating due to language barriers. While the services are comparable to AWS, the support significantly impacts the user experience.
Chief Executive Officer at PT. Indo Mindstorm Wizzard4.0I use Alibaba Cloud primarily for its infrastructure services, customizing hardware specifications like CPU and RAM. Unlike AWS, Alibaba focuses more on infrastructure, collaborating with application providers to offer a wide range of services.
Chief Marketing Officer at Soft Intelligence3.0We utilize Alibaba Cloud for application development, valuing its ECS feature. However, the user experience needs improvement. It's more economical than AWS, despite AWS's strong regional presence. Alibaba Cloud could benefit from increased partner networks and brand awareness.
Senior Software Developer at HaloCheck Sdn Bhd4.0I chose Alibaba Cloud for its lower costs and good support, which meet our company's security needs. Although the user interface could be improved, switching from Huawei has provided a return on investment.
Full Stack Software Engineer at Collabera Philippines4.5We use Alibaba Cloud for deploying applications without managing the underlying platform, which allows us to focus on core business. However, customer service can be inefficient due to our technology's roots with Alipay. Overall, it's a great technology.
Solution Architect at Special Communications Organization SCO4.0I use Alibaba Cloud to run virtual machines, but I've found that its website content and scripts are copied from Amazon Web Services, which feels awkward. Original content and integration of some AWS features would improve the experience.
CEO at Comercio Limited4.5We're focused on using Alibaba Cloud to drive digitization in Africa, onboarding businesses to scale across markets. Its useful features include easy setup and stability, but it benefits small and medium organizations best. We're still assessing its ROI.
Associate Technical Manager at a computer software company with 11-50 employees3.5I integrate Alibaba Cloud, finding it affordable with good database and VM services. However, its support, SDKs, and APIs require significant improvement, and stability is a concern for 24/7 operations, leading to my 7/10 rating.
