Amazon AWS Reviews

Web server hosting of a simple LAMP setup using Linux, Apache, and MySQL. Quick, cheap proof of concept solutions. 

No need for an on-premise infrastructure. It provides immediate access to vast resources at a relatively low cost and allows for setting up cheap PoCs.

For testing, it is a cheap alternative to having to build your own labs.  Provisioning and resource administration include billing dashboards, which are very extensive.

Not enough experience to really comment on this. 

In some areas, more transparency on what is persistent towards novice users. 

We hosted our website in the Amazon AWS. This is very easy to use and the user-friendly dashboard. 

Amazon AWS has improved our organization. It has all the features which we need. We can spin up the server anytime and have root access to it. We built our website and hosted the Amazon server. We also set up the RDS database, which has the capability to help the MySQL queries. The user interface is very user-friendly, and you can assign Elastic IP anytime. Overall, this is the best IaaS for hosting the website and the database.

1. Spin up the server when we need it: We can spun up the new server. 
2. Elastic IP: Sometimes, our website gets hacked with malware and it is easy to change the IP of the Instance.
3. Snapshot: We can easily create a snapshot in Amazon AWS, then restore it.
4. RDS: Manages all the database queries.
5. Instance upgrade and downgrade: We can easily upgrade and downgrade the Instance.

Technical support: It has the technical support features, but they need to be improved. It has lots of users, but they need to be managed accordingly.

One of the best things in Amazon AWS is you are billed for the service you use. 

AWS has a wide selection of technologies for various use cases. 

The whole solution is well designed and AWS has decent documentation, which is not to be taken for granted. I've also found that AWS is easy to use.

I have been using AWS for about a year.

We have no problems with the stability. The issue we've had is that the deployment of services took a bit long in some cases. 

We haven't deployed anything where scalability was an issue so far.

Deploying AWS solutions is reasonably straightforward. Of course, with all these technologies, you have to understand their vocabulary and like the topology of the thing that they are offering. Implementing AWS IAM was a bit complex. Other than that, AWS stands out for usability.

AWS is a cloud service, so it's pay-as-you-go.  Some of the storage services could be cheaper.

I rate AWS eight out of 10. It's well designed and well documented. Overall, AWS is a good public cloud platform.  Before signing up for AWS, it's probably a good idea to think about pricing because some of their services can be obtained elsewhere for a better price.

We use Amazon AWS to implement services for our customers, like backup systems, webpages, and customer services.

I think the AWS interface is good. It's easy to understand and use. 

It's sometimes a challenge to manage billing on this platform. It takes a lot of labor to generate billing for our customers from the service on the cloud.

I've been working with Amazon AWS for six years, almost seven.

AWS is incredibly stable.

I think that almost 1,000 people.

Amazon support is very good. 

Setting up AWS isn't complex, takes less than a week, and only requires one person. 

I rate AWS 10 out of 10. AWS is a solid product. I feel confident I can provide a good level of service to my customers using AWS. To anyone thinking about using AWS, I would suggest carefully designing your implementation. This is very important because it will impact the monthly cost of the solution. You need to think ahead and talk with your staff to find opportunities to make this more efficient. 

I use Amazon AWS in a Windows environment.

I like everything about AWS, especially the reporting.

I am happy with the dashboard.

I have trouble with the AWS command-line interface.

The security could be improved.

I have been using Amazon AWS for approximately three months.

AWS is a stable solution.

I have not tried to scale when using AWS.

The initial setup is easy.

The price is good and licensing fees are paid on a monthly basis.

I would rate this solution a ten out of ten.

The ease of use is the solution's most valuable aspect for us at this point.

You can manage everything from the console, which is very convenient. 

The high level of technology of the database services being served to the customers is impressive. 

The security is excellent. We feel very protected by the solution.

The solution is very easy to set up.

The product is highly scalable.

There is very good documentation available to users for troubleshooting, et cetera.

From a technology standpoint, the solution is almost perfect. We don't feel that anything is lacking in that sense.

The feedback we are getting from our customers, especially here in Turkey where the exchange rate fluctuates regularly, is that the solution is quite expensive. Other cloud competitors are less costly. From our country's point of view, I would say that it needs to be cheaper.

When the solution faces downtime, it can be for hours or half a day. This is far too long.

I would say that I started using AWS around 2017.

The solution is stable. That said, there are some instances that some of the services in some of the regions might go down. The downtime sometimes will last longer than you expected. We expect that occasionally the downtime maybe a few minutes or half an hour. That's not always the case. Sometimes it can be hours. Sometimes it can even be half a day. For us, the downtime is a problem. 

The solution is highly scalable. You can create thousands of servers in minutes or something like that, so it's very scalable. If a company needs to expand, it can do so with ease using this solution.

The types of businesses we typically deal with are rather small. 

I haven't used technical support. I haven't yet had a need to. Therefore, I can't discuss anything in regards to their helpfulness or knowledgeability. That speaks to how good their product has been overall.

That said, if you run into problems, most of the issues that you are having in terms of technical difficulties can be solved within the documentation.

The solution is very easy to install. If you start short-term with the database services, and if you then get the Web Services, it's very easy. A company shouldn't have any trouble setting everything up. It's not complex.

I tend to manage the solution for my clients once it is installed.

Due to currency fluctuations in Turkey, we find the product to be on the more expensive side. There are other, cheaper options on the market.

I'm a consultant. If the customer wants an AWS solution or AWS consultancy, I give these services to them. If they want some local provider, I also work with them.

We are using the latest version of the solution.

Most of my clients don't know the technology and don't want to get into deep technical knowledge in terms of the solution itself. They don't want to manage AWS. They just want to let someone manage their infrastructure and AWS services for them. There aren't too many large companies dealing with AWS on a massive scale in Turkey. I don't really deal with larger entities anyway.

So long as an organization's focus is not on pricing, I would recommend the solution.

In general, I would rate the solution at an eight out of ten.
