Amazon Elastic Container Service Reviews

The solution is to compute instances. Basically, it's a debit. It's a host. For example, if you need a computer that you want to install your enterprise application, instead of buying a server on-premise, you can spin up an instance online.

I like the per-second billing. Every second I use is billed. Any other time I am not using it, it's not billed, so it's better. It’s cheaper. It's good.

It’s easy to set up.

The solution is stable.

The solution can still be expensive, even with per-second billing.

We’ve used the solution for the last year.

The solution is extremely stable and reliable. There are no bugs or glitches. it doesn’t crash or freeze.

It is very scalable.

We started with AWS this year. We have one client so far.

Technical support is perfect.

The solution is very straightforward. The initial setup is very cheap also.

It's very easy to replace. You don't need a lot of teams to do it. One person can do everything.

We are integrators and can handle the initial setup.

You pay for only the time you have used the on-demand service. For example, if you are using software that does a lot of computation or analyzing your data for your company, you only pay for that time spent analyzing that data. The rest of the time, you don't pay for it.

Although I like the per second billing, the cost of it, even if you are being billed per second, it is still higher than competitor products.

We are integrators. We use a lot of Amazon products.

I would rate the solution eight out of ten.

I would recommend a competitor's product. I would recommend, for example, Oracle Compute Instances or Oracle Cloud. I wouldn't recommend AWS EC2 due to the cost. It can get out of control. For example, once I left my EC2 on for a few days with some services running, and in three days I lost a thousand dollars. It's quite costly if you are not very careful.

I've primarily used the solution for web hosting. It can also be used for development purposes. 

It's very easy to deploy.

The solution is simple to access.

The stability has been very good.

It's a product that can scale as needed. 

There is nothing I would like to change about the solution at this time. 

The pricing could be a bit better. The Amazon Cloud expense can get high.

I've been using the solution for one month.

The stability has been good. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. 

The solution can scale. It's not a problem.

Right now, I'm the only person who uses the solution. 

I've never used technical support. I can't speak to how their services are. 

We did use a different solution. It was an on-premises product.

We have found the product easy to deploy. It's not overly complex or difficult. 

In terms of the implementation, for the object storage, the installation is mostly configuration. Once you buy the Amazon Cloud, this feature is available, so the only thing you'll do is you'll need to choose which type of E-service you're going to use.

The solution can be handled internally, or a company can install it with the help of an integrator.

The pricing depends on the region in which you're using it. Most probably if you're using it in the UAE or South Africa, the price may get lower.

I'd recommend the solution to others.

I'd rate it an eight out of ten. We have been happy with it. 

We use Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS) for efficient container orchestration. We start by creating Docker containers and then storing them in ECS. It facilitates container deployment, offering flexibility between serverless execution and traditional EC2 instances. It enables automated deployments, providing an option to edit them as needed through integrated CI/CD pipelines.

The product's most valuable feature is service discovery functionality. It is an excellent feature impacting cost reduction. It facilitates the seamless connection of backend services to the front end, utilizing local domains. Additionally, the integration of with Atmos, another service management tool by AWS, enhances its functionality. It shows the impactful configuration provided by the AWS team.

There is room for improvement, particularly in logging and monitoring for the product, while integrating external third-party tools like Elastic Log Kibana and Grafana or Primatius. They could provide easier options for third-party integrations similar to internal AWS services.

We have been using Amazon Elastic Container Service for two years.

The platform has high stability with no downtime for any services. In case of unavailability, we can refer to AWS documentation or contact the technical support team for SLA services.

The scalability depends on specific user cases. It helps us handle increased traffic or workload. When clients require login deployments due to application version or UI component changes, we utilize CodeDeploy in conjunction with AWS CodePipeline for deployment. While there is no downtime during these deployments, scaling the application might take some time due to scheduling considerations.

The technical support team is very friendly.

The initial setup is easy. AWS manages the deployment with predefined configurations.

They offer a pay-as-you-go pricing model for the product. It is inexpensive compared to Kubernetes, which considers a minimum number of microservices.

The new users would need help to deploy the CI/CD pipeline for the product. They need to follow proper documentation. It also provides some settings for automated deployment.

We integrated ECS for a logistics project. It is working fine without any downtime for five microservices.

I rate it an eight out of ten.

We use the solution to host applications and run applications.

The solution is quite scalable and allows you to launch multiple EC2s within minutes.

I have been using Amazon EC2 Container Service for more than three years.

I rate the solution a nine out of ten for stability.

Amazon EC2 Container Service is a highly scalable solution. A lot of users are using the solution in our organization.

I rate the solution ten out of ten for scalability.

The solution’s initial setup is pretty easy.

Amazon EC2 Container Service is worth the money.

Amazon EC2 Container Service is a cloud-based solution. I would recommend the solution to other users because it is scalable and stable. We can turn down the solution and start it again in a minute.

Overall, I rate Amazon EC2 Container Service ten out of ten.

The tool is good for small and self-container execution. 

We test POCs with Amazon Elastic Container Service to understand the behavior of a feature in a containerizing environment. 

The tool's most valuable feature is the ability to create revisions on the configurations. 

Amazon Elastic Container Service should simplify its management. It can be difficult for someone who doesn't have much experience with the tool. Also, the tool needs to add the ability to manage networks.  

I have been working with the solution for six years. 

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

I rate Amazon Elastic Container Service's scalability a seven out of ten. 

Amazon Elastic Container Service's deployment was straightforward. 

We have seen good ROI. 

Amazon Elastic Container Service's price is good. 

I rate the product a seven out of ten. 

We deploy applications inside the EC2.

The solution has good performance. 

I would like fewer updates.

I have been using this solution for six months. We use the latest version.

I would rate the stability a ten out of ten. 

I would rate the scalability a ten out of ten.

The initial setup is straightforward. 

I deployed the solution myself. One might require engineers and developers for the deployment process. 

Overall, I would rate the solution a ten out of ten. All the current features are perfect.

I would definitely recommend using the solution.

We use the product for website and email database hosting. 

The solution is expensive compared to other alternatives like Azure. 

I have been using the product for five years. 

The tool is straightforward. 

The product is scalable. My company has five to ten users for the tool. 

The tool's setup is straightforward. We have around three to four people to manage the tool's deployment and maintenance. 

The tool's licensing is monthly. 

I would rate the overall product a nine out of ten. 

It lets us manage a cluster of containers in the cloud without really having to worry about managing the platform. We're currently serving around 50 customers.

Amazon ECS reduces the overhead required to manage a Kubernetes cluster relative to on-premise deployment.

The Kubernetes platform is managed by AWS, so we only have to use those containers that we need to run our applications. What I really like about Amazon ECS is its simplicity and ease of use. Amazon also has really good security. They have certifications from all the security standards and governing agencies.

In the next release, they could add some customization options for high computer workloads.

We've been using Amazon ECS since 2017, so about four years now.

Amazon ECS is absolutely stable. Very, very stable.

Amazon ECS has great scalability and performance.

Amazon support is awesome. We've had no issues.

Setup was simple and very easy. There's nothing complex about the ECS itself. It may take longer to set up if the applications you are using are more complex and require more customization. We use a team of around 50 engineers for deployment and support.

All of our contractors are on a yearly license.

I would rate Amazon ECS nine out of 10. Amazon is amazing. I give them full marks all around.

We use this product for our workflows. We launch an ECS cluster on-demand to run a job and shut down the cluster after the job is completed.

The containerization is a valuable feature for us. You pay only for your use. For example, a job takes one hour, you only pay for one hour of the container. It's really scalable for the cost.

This is a really good tool, but it's complex because you need to understand how it works to get the best of this tool. It would help if things were simplified so it could be more user friendly.

I've been using this solution for six months. We are Amazon customers.  

We haven't had any problems with stability. 

The solution is definitely scalable. 

The technical support is very expensive and we don't have an agreement for that. We just use them when necessary. 

The initial setup is somewhat complicated, but that may have been more about the skills we had internally. We needed to improve our skill set before using this tool, and that's why we took some time to implement it. Deployment was carried out internally and I'm the only person in the company using this solution. 

There's no license fee, it's pay as you go and the fee is reasonable.

I would recommend this solution for anyone thinking to implement it. 

I rate this product an eight out of 10. 

We have used various Amazon services including EC2 buckets for storage and the container services for deployment of the application. I'm an integrator and we are customers of Amazon EC2 Container Service. 

I think this is a good solution with good documentation and is very straightforward to use. 

We faced challenges with AWS and I feel the support could have been better - more timely with their response, more knowledgeable staff and more customer friendly. As a partner, I'd like to see a response from the appropriate team and know that they'd help us throughout. AWS is in partnership with other product vendors in developing the connectors and could have given a direction to another vendor, Tableau, for example, because when we try to use those connectors to hook up the data into cloud, it was challenging and a very difficult exercise to go through with AWS in order to resolve the problem. Both sides tell us it's not their problem.

We have used this solution for over a year. 

The solution is stable. 

The solution is scalable.

The support could be more straightforward and faster, and should provide an insight into what could be causing the issue we are having and how to solve it. At the end of the day there are boundaries here. As a system integrator, I definitely need help from the core platform to extend my services to the customer, so that both the platform customer and myself get the benefit, otherwise one of the pieces of the puzzle gets lost.

The initial setup is quite simple and doesn't take much time, I was able to do it myself. I installed it for one of my customers and they have around 200 users. There is no plan to increase use at this stage but we have credits from AWS, and we're using them. Once they've expired, we have to extend to continue to use AWS.

I would recommend this solution. 

I rate this solution an eight out of 10.
