Amazon AWS Reviews

Our primary use case is for cloud storage.

There is less work for the DBAs. Everything is handled in AWS itself.

We don't have issues with stability or scalability.

We manage support issues, we don't depend on others for technical support.

I would rate it a seven out of ten. 

In an RDS environment, we only get the CPU utilization and this thing. The growth rate and free space increases. Getting the CPU utilization is 99% or 90% sometimes.

We don't know whether to increase server capacity or alert notifications. We don't know which hard disc to purchase or what the next recommended CPU is. There should be an indicator. We would like to have more guidance. 

Our primary use case is to use the solution for running many relatively small instances for back office applications and various other business important applications.

It did not improve our organization.

There are no particular 'features' which stand out. 

The pricing could be adjusted to provide more advantages versus current on-premise solutions for business applications.

AWS is much too expensive compared to current on-premises solution for this type of work. AWS IaaS is a very generic service, which is extremely overpriced.  

I use this solution to build IoT products.

I am a customer and I have a reselling agreement.

We use this product to build our products and services, which is what we sell.

I like that all of the features are complimentary. I use all of the features together.

It's very user-friendly.

There is nothing that needs changing.

The interface could be improved.

I have been using Amazon AWS for two years.

It is a very stable product.

Amazon is based on scalability. You can scale as you require. We have no issues with scalability.

The technical support is very good.

The initial setup is easy.

I completed the installation myself.

Pricing is good.  It's average.

I also evaluated Microsoft Azure.

I would advise others to use the platform.

I would rate Amazon AWS an eight out of ten.

I am the leader of a team that runs cloud operations for our clients. We work with AWS on a daily basis using it for synthetic and real use monitoring. Our company is partnered with AWS.

Since AWS came a bit later to the market, they are always improving and upgrading their platform.

They do not yet have a complete solution for APM monitoring. But this, along with real user monitoring, is something that they are actively working on improving.

I have been using AWS for about a year. 

The solution is very stable.

The solution is easily scalable.

My team and I have not needed to contact support.

In general, the initial setup was quite easy.

I would rate this product a seven out of ten.

We had previously been working on a local office server. Our local server wasn't performing well, so we switched to the AWS cloud service. We want to provide smooth service from our application to our end-users.

We first deployed Amazon ASW five or six months ago.

AWS is stable. 

AWS could be more scalable. We have two versions of our product: desktop and cloud. And there are approximately 100 to 200 users there. 

We get our first-line support from our in-house support, and they deal with Amazon support.

I rate Amazon AWS eight out of 10

We use the solution only internally as a private cloud to store our files, our projects, and to keep our servers running.

The customization could be improved. 

We found the solution to be reliable.

In my experience the scalability is good. We have six people using the solution in my organization.

We never had to use the support but I have heard the support was good.

The installation was simple because we already have set it up before, it was very quick.

We did the deployment ourselves. Since we only use the solution for our internal files it allowed us to do the deployment in just one day. 

The price could be better.

I rate Amazon AWS a nine out of ten.

The primary use case of this solution is for hosting your infrastructure.

It's very easy to use.

The activation process can be improved. Sometimes, the activation takes a lot of time. There are many components of the infrastructure.

Integration with in-house applications could be simplified.

We have been dealing with Amazon AWS for one year.

We are using the latest version.

It's a stable solution.

It is a scalable product. We have 30 users in our organization.

We plan to continue to use Amazon AWS.

We have never had a problem with technical support.

There is no installation for this solution. It's a cloud solution.

There is a cost for any components you get.

AWS is not an expensive product.

I absolutely recommend this product.

I would rate Amazon AWS an eight out of ten.

Elastic Load Balancer: AWS completely manages ELB with less configuration from the users' side. Setting up the load balancer manually is really a headache.

Deploying to the elastic cloud is much easier now with AWS. This makes the go-live process easy.

Billing: They should make billing more simplified. It would be great if they could explain how deploying to elastic cloud is much easier now with AWS. Elastic beans command line interface [eb cli]: You can easily deploy code straight from your code IDE.

The billing calculator has lot of options which confuses the user. If they could provide some template for billing and directly execute those template, that would be great.

For example, the billing template for the standard WordPress Server with Load Balancer and S3 Connectivity: Users could just change the parameters inside the template and execute to see their estimated billing.

We have been using this solution for three years.

I did not encounter any issues with stability.

I did not encounter any issues with scalability.

We were using only AWS.

The setup was straightforward in all ways.

Free tier is always there for demo and testing. Pricing is based on the usage.

We evaluated Microsoft Azure.

AWS is good for any kind of requirements.
