Author infoRatingReview Summary
Senior Machine Learning Engineer at sportsbet4.5I've used AWS for six years, mainly for databases and ETL jobs, appreciating its flexibility and managed services, though startup complexity and hidden costs are challenges. Stability isn't perfect, but overall, I rate it nine out of ten.
Principal Consultant at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees4.0I use Amazon AWS for FinOps, utilizing services like QuickSight and Trusted Advisor. Their support is excellent, and recommendation engines are helpful. However, improvements are needed in service availability and data accuracy from API scripts.
Architect at ebzss4.5I've used AWS for seven years and find it user-friendly and scalable, with strong IAM and encryption features, though pricing flexibility and AD integration could improve; overall, it's a solid 8 out of 10.
Senior QA Automation Engineer at HireRight3.5I use AWS for product deployment, development, and testing, valuing its managed services, security, and monitoring. However, I find its pricing expensive and the setup complex, requiring specialized professionals, despite good but paid support.
CEO at Planfirma Technologies Private Limited4.0We recommend AWS to our clients for its scalable services like EC2 and built-in security features. However, AWS needs to improve customer support, marketplace promotion, and AI functionality. Its free credits offer a good ROI for new users.
Cloud Technical Program Manager at a tech vendor with 1,001-5,000 employees4.0I run applications on Amazon AWS due to its flexibility, scalability, and robust infrastructure, which allows seamless management and reliable backup. However, the user interface could be more intuitive, especially for non-technical users, to enhance the configuration process.
Sr PeopleSoft Consultant at People Tech4.5I use Amazon AWS primarily for ERP implementation, integrating our application into the cloud with added AI solutions. AWS offers valuable security and automated services but could improve by reducing costs to be more competitive with Azure and Google Cloud.
Principal Solution Architect at StarOne IT Solutions4.0I use AWS for our production workload, valuing its auto-scaling and compliance features. Although AWS excels over competitors like Azure or Google, improvements are needed for cloud-agnostic capabilities. I also face limitations upgrading RDS SQL Server on Graviton instances.
