Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling Reviews

It is used to run applications.

There is room for improvement in the pricing model. 

I have been using this solution for five to ten years now. 

It is a stable solution. 

It is a scalable solution. It is extensively used in our organization. We have over 5,000 users in our organization. 

The initial setup is straightforward. It was pretty quick to deploy the solution. 

The deployment was done in-house. It took only 20 minutes to deploy the solution. We have a CloudFormation template, and we deploy using that.

The pricing model is usage-based. 

I would definitely recommend using the solution. Overall, I would rate the solution a ten out of ten. It is easy to use. 

We use Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling for SAP workloads to the cloud.

We have found that the sizing in Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling is far off. For example, we will see some at one terabyte and the other one is two terabytes. There is nothing between one and two terabytes. Sometimes it's a struggle if I need one and a half, I still am supposed to pay for two. There are five terabytes, six terabytes, and 12 terabytes, and if I need something at eight or nine, I'm still paying 30 to 40 percent more by taking the one which is 12 terabytes. Microsoft Azure does similar sizes but the gap can be more, such as six terabytes, and the next one is 12 terabytes.

I have been using Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling for the last three years.

We have approximately 1,000 using Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling.

The support from Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling is very good.

Whatever works for the customer, we are more than happy to provide that service. Some of them may need something in a particular region where Amazon AWS is better than Microsoft Azure, we recommend then AWS. If Microsoft Azure is better, then it's Microsoft Azure.

The initial implementation was straightforward. The time it takes for the deployment depends on the environment and components, such as the operating system.

We have a team that does the support for Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling a nine out of ten.

We use Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling for our EC2 instances. To run our application platform, we are using EC2 instances. EC2 is nothing but one machine, e.g. it's a remote machine. We are satisfied with the service, and we are especially good at using the service. We are taking clean servers, e.g. our machines run AWS, and we manage everything ourselves.

What could be improved in Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling is its fees. We are looking to have some discounts on billing.

We've been using Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling for almost five years now.

Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling is a stable service.

We find Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling a scalable service.

The first time we set up Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling was not an easy task. We needed a lot of things first, and we needed to learn a lot, but now we are in a stable position in terms of setting up Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling. We can install it immediately.

Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling is not licensed-based. It's server-based. When we want to use more services, we need to pay more. It's a monthly subscription, rather than licensed-based. Pricing or fees for this service could be improved.

On a scale of one to ten, with ten being the best, my rating for Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling is a ten.

Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling helps maintain application availability and allows you to add or remove EC2 instances.

More than one instance can run at one time. You can start and stop instances at any time.

It can run with any application. Linux, as an example, can be installed with it.

Once the EC2 has been created, you can easily log into it.

The Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling features are simple to use.

The performance is excellent. It's very easy to use and manage.

We have no issues with the integration of Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling.

The user data can be initialized during the startup, which is an excellent feature.

The AMI (Amazon Machine Image) is a helpful feature for the installation process.

I would like to see a feature included that has the capability to clone when an instance is being terminated.

We have a few instances with the internal firewall. If for example, I am going to run Linux, and the firewall is open, sometimes it becomes difficult to debug the issue. Also, when you connect from another device, and if the internal IP address table is not deleted, the firewall will be enabled there. 

There is no clear understanding of where the issue is. If you connect externally, you have to install SFTP.

I would like debugging capabilities included.

I have been using Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling for more than two years.

Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling is a stable solution.

This solution is used by 1,000 people in our organization.

Technical support is good.

Previously, I had not used another solution. I started with AWS.

The installation was fine. We were able to install it with the assistance of AMI.

The installation took less than 10 minutes, but it depends on what you want to install.

This solution is managed by a team of ten administrators.

Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis.

It is my opinion that serverless, such as Lambda, are preferred over EC2 instances.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I would rate Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling a nine out of ten.

We use Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling in our company for regulating and scaling. We also use it on architectural projects.

The feature I found most valuable was the vertical and horizontal scaling. 

It should work for the cloud, cloud monitoring features, and DevOps processes. It should automatically enable features for downscaling and upscaling.

Apart from this, it also needs to increase its performance both speed-wise and cost-wise.

I have been using it for last year and three months. 

There are a lot of functions including tools, computing, and memory optimization. The stability and performance are similar. It also has a baseline instance in AWS. The stability depends on the performance, but in general, due to performance issues, I would rate it a four out of ten.

We are able to increase the scale on our own. We can easily increase the machines up to a limit. However, the scalability depends on the project, but based on its high scalability, I would rate it an eight out of ten. 

The technical support is satisfactory.

Positive

The initial setup is easy and I would rate it an eight out of ten. It is deployed on the cloud, AWS Amazon Cloud, and roughly takes 30 minutes. The deployment process needs some additional tools to be downloaded for the task. 

Compared to the performance, the price is quite high. I would rate it a ten because it is expensive. There are additional costs including bandwidth costs, data transfer costs, and load balancing costs.

I would advise others to use other solutions before using Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling. I would rate the overall solution a ten out of ten. 

We use the solution to autoscale the number of servers per specific business requirements.

The solution allows setting the number of servers required depending on the usage. Later, it automatically increases or decreases the servers per the threshold level.

There should be fewer inputs required that include mandatory details for configuration. It will help someone with less technical knowledge easily set up the system.

I have been using the solution for more than seven years.

The solution is stable. I rate its stability a nine out of ten.

I rate the solution's scalability an eight out of ten.

The solution has generated over 50-55% ROI for us. It is higher compared to GCP.

The solution is less expensive than Azure and GCP.

I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

We use the tool to deploy NLP modules. 

The tool helps me to process large data sets while scaling up. 

The product's technical support needs to be better. 

I have been using the product for five years. 

I would rate the solution's stability an eight out of ten. 

I would rate the tool's scalability an eight out of ten. 

The product is easy to deploy. 

I have seen ROI with the product's use. 

The tool's pricing is good and not expensive. 

I would rate the product an eight out of ten. We plan to increase the tool's usage. You need to have good documentation to start using the product. 

We use this solution to scale up the number of VM's that are running during times of heavy traffic or high workload. It covers 5,000 servers over 10 different environments for us.

We appreciate that this solution allows us to run all of our severs through it, meaning that our workloads are mainly on the EC2 instance only.

We would like to see improvement in the UI for this solution, so that it is more user-friendly.

We have been using this solution for around six years.

We have found this to be a stable solution during our time using it.

The scalability of this solution is good; we increase our usage gradually and consistently, without any issues.

The setup of this solution is very straightforward. It took us two months to deploy it fully, and migrate our workloads to the cloud from being on premises.

The licences for this solution are based on the number of instances. This determines the EC2 type that is used and this is then priced accordingly.

We would rate this solution a 10 out of 10.
