What is our primary use case?
I'm using TCDs and OCDs, and these are the two high-performance systems.
We have our business applications running on EC2.
What is most valuable?
EC2 does have not many features. Normally, we do elastic load balancing, which is great.
The implementation is very easy. It's quick and easy to deploy.
It's quite stable.
We find it easy to scale.
What needs improvement?
We don't have any issues with the solution. Nothing is really missing in terms of features.
For how long have I used the solution?
I've been using the solution for many years now.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The product is 100% stable. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The solution scales quite well, and it is easy to expand.
It's very easy to add to what is already there. You just have to add memory and storage and restart the instance.
We have more than 100 people using the solution.
While we do not have plans to increase usage at this time, we may do so in a year.
How are customer service and support?
We've been happy with technical support. They are very helpful and responsive.
How would you rate customer service and support?
How was the initial setup?
The solution is straightforward to set up. It's not overly complex. We can deploy the solution in just ten to 15 minutes. It's very fast.
The maintenance is very easy. If we need help, we can always contact support for guidance.
What about the implementation team?
I was able to implement the solution myself.
What was our ROI?
We've seen some ROI. It's saved us a lot of time on our side.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The cost is moderate. It's not too high or too low. It's based on usage. While using AWS cloud ensures there are no hidden costs, if you use other clouds, there might be.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
We did look into other options before choosing EC2.
What other advice do I have?
We're customers.
I'm using a normal regular EC2. I'm not using containers.
On the cloud, we use both Amazon and Azure as our cloud.
I'd recommend the solution as it is scalable, readily available, and offers good cost savings. People who know AWS have been very happy with the experience.
I'd rate the solution ten out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
Public Cloud
If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?
Amazon Web Services (AWS)
