Easy to set up with good stability and the capability to scale
Pros and Cons
  • "The stability of the solution is very good."
  • "The pricing of AWS is very unclear. They make it quite confusing."

What is our primary use case?

We primarily use the solution to deploy our systems in the Cloud. It could be virtual machines, containers, and servers as well.

We've been using EasyTune for elastic computing and it has been very helpful. It's the feature we're using the most right now.

In general, the solution works quite well.

The product is very easy to set up.

The stability of the solution is very good.

The solution scales well.

Overall, the solution is quite complete. There aren't any missing features.

What needs improvement?

The cost management is too complex right now.

The pricing of AWS is very unclear. They make it quite confusing. They need to make the cost structure easier to understand.

For how long have I used the solution?

We've been using the solution for two years or so at this point. It's been a couple of years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The stability is very good. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable.

Being on the cloud, the deployment is very fast. It only takes a few minutes.

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

The pricing is confusing. Sometimes there are hidden charges.

What other advice do I have?

We are AWS partners.

We're always using the latest version of the solution. As a cloud-based solution, it constantly updates itself to the latest version.

I'd advise users considering the solution that they really need to understand the costs and how they work with AWS. At some point, it can get confusing and it can lead to companies dealing with hidden charges.

I'd rate the solution nine out of ten. If it wasn't for cost management, I would rate it higher.
