Amazon EC2 Reviews

We are using Amazon EC2 for computing.

The most valuable features of Amazon EC2 are content delivery and adaptability.

I have been using Amazon EC2 for approximately two months.

Amazon EC2 could improve the stability.

The scalability of Amazon EC2 is good.

I have not used technical support from Amazon EC2.

I did not use other solutions prior to using Amazon EC2.

I am using the tier three Amazon service. I am not going to use another solution other than Amazon EC2 because here in Pakistan there are some payment issues for solutions abroad.

I rate Amazon EC2 a nine out of ten.

We had a client which has a legacy application that wanted to move to the cloud without a cloud-native solution. What they did was they moved to Amazon EC2 and asked for virtual machines. They had an Oracle database and licenses, they were all provided by the client, and then they all moved to the Amazon EC2 environment.

Amazon EC2's most valuable feature I have heard from clients is easy provisioning. Provisioning is very quick and easy.

Amazon EC2 could improve by reducing the price.

I have been using Amazon EC2 for approximately two years.

Amazon EC2 is stable.

The scalability of Amazon EC2 is good.

Our client was a large company with approximately 1,000 using the solution.

The support from Amazon EC2 is good. 

The ROI is similar to an on-premise version of my client's operations.

The clients have found the billing of Amazon EC2 good, but the price could be less high. There is a monthly subscription to use the solution.

We have difficulty convincing potential clients of the benefits of using Amazon EC2, from their on-premise setup, when the cost is similar. They don't see the benefits. We face a lot of issues convincing them

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Amazon EC2 an eight out of ten.

We are using this solution for relational DB servers, application servers, and IaaS. We are also using it for SMTP and HTTP services, for compute services.

The most valuable feature of this solution is the ability to have standard operating systems along with the Windows, Linux operating systems, and their maintenance-free structure, which we prefer.

One of the challenges is the AMI upgrades. For example, EC2 is running on a different AMI, and when we are trying to upgrade, it has mandatory manual processes involved. This is a problem for us. This is an area that we are looking forward to being taken care of or augmented.

Also, when we start doing upgrades, we start losing network connectivity.

We have some issues with the cost, as it's expensive.

They don't have much in the way of optimized support or OS-level support. Also, there is not much visibility in terms of the upgrade. This is an issue that we are facing at the moment.

We would like to see it have something quicker. When we reboot the EC2 instance, the time it takes to come up is a little on the higher side. We are not sure if it is better on the reserved instance, but with the on-demand instances, it's not great. There is no easy way that a preliminary support guy can quickly check why the system is down, or whether there is a network issue or not. These are things that are still convoluted and could be simplified.

I have been using this solution for more than eight years.

The stability is fine, we don't have any issues.

This solution is easy to scale, but it is not easy to change the generation or the instance title. If you are in the same generation it's fine, but upgrading older generations to new generations is painful.

We have more than 80 users in our company. Most of the users are using it daily. The Dev tech team uses it daily.

We have a premium support license and they are efficient, but we have a few instances where the technical support was not very good. A few cases for support were not good but for the most part, they are efficient.

The initial setup is simple with a few moderate complexities, but it's ok.

We did not use an integrator or reseller, we managed ourselves.

The costs are quite high. For our usage, the cost is approximately $20,000 to $23,000 per month.

Know your use cases. You have to analyze your load and use case before you select a particular EC2 machine. You also need to look into the availability and the stability of that particular version of EC2 that you are going for.

Mainly Windows is secure, but Linus and others are difficult to secure.

I would rate this solution a seven out ten.

Amazon EC2 is used if you are looking for a process serving cloud service.

The best features of Amazon EC2 are its high performance and security.

Reducing the price of the solution could lead to an improvement.

I rate Amazon EC2 a nine out of ten.

We use the solution to host our backend servers.

The most valuable feature is autoscaling.

I would like the ability to connect SMS to EC2 using the VPC endpoint. Currently in the autoscaling process if we have multiple issues we are not able to connect some of the VPC through the SMS.

I have used the solution for two years.

The solution is very stable.

The solution has an autoscaling feature making it very scalable.

The technical support is good.

We are using a pay-as-you-go model.

I give the solution a nine out of ten.

I recommend the solution to others.

We use EC2 for test and dev environments.

EC2 has the typical advantages of using the cloud. It's easy to provision and set up.

I would like to see more variety in the operating system images used to create test environments in EC2. There should be more versions and releases. Sometimes, you want to test an update from an old release to a higher version, but you can’t do that with the new images available. You have to use your own.

I have used EC2 for three or four years.

Amazon EC2 is stable.

EC2 is scalable. There is an auto-scale setting in the configuration.

I've never had to use tech support. I think most of the documentation is adequate.

Setting up EC2 is straightforward. It takes a few minutes, and you can do it by yourself.

Pricing is based on consumption, so when we don't want to use it, we just turn it off. The expense is negligible.

We pay for a monthly license. The price is fair.

I would rate Amazon EC2 nine out of 10.

The tool helps us to host applications. 

The product helps us with scalability. We also need not have data centers.

It is also easy to make configurations and start a new part if necessary. 

The product needs to improve its cost management. 

I am using the product for three years. 

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

I would rate the product's scalability a ten out of ten. We have plans to increase the tool's usage.
