Its features are a great complement to the basic infrastructure of any company
Pros and Cons
  • "I like ETL, the EC2 platform, and Route 53. These features are a great complement to the basic infrastructure of any company. The AWS platform has many features, but the fundamental cloud infrastructure is the most important."
  • "A person with no AWS experience might find it overwhelming at first."

What is our primary use case?

I'm currently using AWS to create two environments with the EC2 instance. I have one environment for staging and developing processes and another environment for production.

What is most valuable?

I like ETL, the EC2 platform, and Route 53. These features are a great complement to the basic infrastructure of any company. The AWS platform has many features, but the fundamental cloud infrastructure is the most important.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've used AWS for around two years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

AWS is reliable. I've seen around 10 issues in the whole time I've been using it, so I think that is highly stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

AWS is a cloud platform, so it's inherently scalable.

How are customer service and support?

The cloud platform can have problems, but AWS has a good SLA. If a region has problems, Amazon will fix the issue, so the customer never knows. 

How was the initial setup?

Deploying AWS is complex in the beginning. It becomes more intuitive once you have a solid grasp of the fundamentals. However, a person with no AWS experience might find it overwhelming at first. Total deployment took around two weeks.

What other advice do I have?

I rate AWS nine out of 10. It's a complete solution. If Amazon added any more features, that would just be a pleasant surprise for me because AWS perfectly fits the needs of my current job.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Public Cloud

If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?

Amazon Web Services (AWS)

Top 5
Good services and integration capabilities but sometimes the configuration is off
Pros and Cons
  • "They integrate well with various other solutions."
  • "I'd like to see integration with MySQL."

What is most valuable?

The services on offer are good.

I use the RDS a lot.

I've recently implemented more systems on Amazon. They integrate well with various other solutions.

Managing databases, and moving them from on-premises to the cloud is easy.

What needs improvement?

I need to read a bit more and figure out if the database configuration is off. I'm finding that the solution can sometimes be slow. 

If I have a complex database on the OCI and try to move in AWS, for example, sometimes I can't do it. I'd like it to be easier if possible. 

I'd like to see integration with MySQL.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using the solution for two years. 

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I've worked with Azure and Oracle as well. A big part of our database is on Oracle OCI. It might be as much as 70%.

How was the initial setup?

I can handle the implementation process. I've done a few lately.

What other advice do I have?

We're a customer and an end-user.

I'd rate the solution at a seven out of ten.

Pros and Cons
  • "AWS is constantly growing in features with every new version. It's a good cloud provider with excellent availability. The integration is good, and their security products are interesting. Amazon is always innovating and delivering new products to customers."
  • "I'd love to see an Amazon data center here in Peru."

What is our primary use case?

I use AWS for web services and platforms as well as a digital channel to buy my programs.

What is most valuable?

AWS is constantly growing in features with every new version. It's a good cloud provider with excellent availability. The integration is good, and their security products are interesting. Amazon is always innovating and delivering new products to customers.

What needs improvement?

For how long have I used the solution?

We started using AWS nearly six years ago. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Amazon is expanding its presence in Latin America, including Chile, Brazil, and Peru. The latency and communication will be fast with all these new data centers in South America.

What other advice do I have?

I rate AWS nine out of 10.

A user-friendly cloud computing solution
Pros and Cons
  • "I think Amazon AWS is easy to use, and it's a good service. I also like Amazon EKS because it's good."
  • "Like anything, Amazon AWS has room for improvement, but it's not bad."

What is our primary use case?

We use Amazon AWS for our development and testing solutions.

What is most valuable?

I think Amazon AWS is easy to use, and it's a good service. I also like Amazon EKS because it's good.

What needs improvement?

Like anything, Amazon AWS has room for improvement, but it's not bad.

For how long have I used the solution?

We have been using Amazon AWS for about three or four years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Amazon AWS is a stable solution.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Amazon AWS is a scalable solution. It was one of the important topics of discussion in our evaluation.

How are customer service and support?

Their technical support is good, very friendly, and provides us with a solution.

How was the initial setup?

I think the initial setup is easy, but you have to invest some time and learn how to do it before setting it up for the first time. It's pretty easy for a new user to set up.

What other advice do I have?

I would tell potential users to create a plan. It's very important to have a plan, especially if it's your first time. This is because different solutions and levels are charged separately with separate bills.

On a scale from one to ten, I would give Amazon AWS a nine.

Amazon AWS is fantastic.
Pros and Cons
  • "Amazon for DevOps is fantastic. Amazon has fast clouds, and the process and the Dev is very good."
  • "Amazon tools are for more mature DevOps. The process and the Dev is very good, but it doesn't compare to the ease of using the Google Cloud Platform."

What is most valuable?

Amazon for DevOps is fantastic. Amazon has fast clouds, and the process and the Dev is very good. 

What needs improvement?

Amazon tools are for more mature DevOps. The process and the Dev is very good, but it doesn't compare to the ease of using the Google Cloud Platform. Google Cloud Platform is easier for the developer since it has many automation features. You can use the many tools to automate your info or create machines. Personally, I like using both.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using AWS for two years.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

AWS pricing is higher than other services.

What other advice do I have?

I would rate AWS a ten out of ten.
