Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling Reviews

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 EC2 for regular usage based on on-demand pricing or cost-saving plans and Reserved Instances, depending on the customer's needs.

If customers want to use an instance for a longer time and maximize usage, we recommend savings plans and Reserved Instances instead of on-demand pricing.

We use Auto Scaling based on the customer's use case. For example, one of my customers utilizes EC2 with custom scaling configurations.

It depends on the specific case or business scenario. Sometimes, Auto Scaling is more beneficial, and sometimes, Reserved Instances are preferred, especially for longer-term usage. It varies based on the use case.

It should be more stable, more secure, and have better pricing.

I'm on the leadership side, so I don't directly work with EC2 instances. However, we sell service to the customers.

It is a stable solution.

It is a scalable solution. There are numerous customers, or more than a hundred customers, using this solution.

Customer service depends on the support model and the type of support you have chosen.

The initial setup was easy and took only a couple of minutes. It's just a few clicks.

The licensing cost is expensive.

Overall, I would rate the solution an eight out of ten. 

We use EC2 to host applications.

The most useful feature is elasticity. You can scale up or down based on traffic.

The primary area for improvement is the pricing model. 

We have been using EC2 for around 36 months.

I rate EC2 nine out of 10 for stability.

I rate EC2 eight out of 10 for scalability. 

I rate AWS support nine out of 10. 

Positive

I rate EC2 eight out of 10 for ease of setup. The deployment takes four to six hours. Once the application is bundled, it is transported to Site Reliability Engineering, which hosts it. The deployment team consists of four or five people.

We've saved money on resources and infrastructure. The ROI can't be easily defined because it is a cloud service.

I rate EC2 seven out of 10 for affordability. 

I rate AWS EC2 nine out of 10. I recommend it for base production systems.

EC2 and Auto Scaling are solutions to deploy computer VMs. When you use Auto Scaling, you have many advantages because the platform is elastic. When your platform requires high performance, Auto Scaling can provide this and avoid replication.

For clients, I deployed many Auto Scaling solutions for different applications, and currently I'm using Auto Scaling to deploy FortiGate. FortiGate is a next-generation firewall that provides security for AWS in general.

One of the most important benefits is that a company can optimize resources because Auto Scaling deploys resources when needed. For example, for Black Friday, a company can deploy 100 servers for a couple of days. When Black Friday is over, the company can delete those servers.

This solution makes it easier to provide a good customer experience because if you deploy the right infrastructure, the website will work properly and the user experience will be good.

The documentation for this solution could be improved. For example, sometimes it's difficult to find documentation for integration with applications. 

I have been using this solution for five years.

This is a stable solution. 

Scalability is very good because you can deploy the infrastructure as you need it. 

The customer support for this solution is excellent. 

The initial setup on the first day was a little bit challenging but with time became easier. 

I would rate this solution a ten out of 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 have EC2-based architectures. We deploy our applications on EC2. We also use Amazon RDS.

The operating system, Amazon Linux, is valuable. We like it very much. The availability of the instance is valuable. The documentation is good. We can use Systems Manager to manage nodes and Patch Manager to manage patches. The solution provides a variety of features.

The tool must provide proper guidelines to troubleshoot connectivity issues. It must also improve AMI creation.

I have been using the solution for the last four years.

The product’s stability is perfect. I rate the stability a ten out of ten.

I rate the product’s scalability a ten out of ten. It is made for scalability. We have 20 users. We are planning to increase usage.

The support is good.

The tool is very easy to deploy. I like the new interface. The time taken for deployment depends on our requirements. It is a cloud-based tool. Sometimes, we use the CloudFormation template. Sometimes, we do it manually. Generally, it takes around five minutes. We create CloudFormation stacks to deploy the tool depending on the type of instance we require. We need more than ten technical team members to deploy and maintain the solution.

We deployed the solution ourselves using the documentation.

The availability is valuable. It is very useful to deploy the instances automatically.

The solution is not expensive.

The product is very helpful. It has various features that we can utilize. Overall, I rate the product a ten 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 launch the instances.

The solution's most valuable feature is auto scaling group.

The solution's stability and scalability need improvement.

We have been using the solution for a year.

I rate the solution's stability a nine. Although, it could be more stable for Asia-specific regions.

I rate the solution's scalability an eight. It is expensive to scale it for multiple instances.

The solution's initial setup is straightforward. We use template plans and modify them as per the specific requirement. The deployment takes two to nine months to complete.

The solution's price is affordable for enterprise customers.

I rate the solution as nine out of ten. It is easy to maintain multiple instances using it.
