Amazon Virtual Private Cloud Reviews

The tool helps to deploy on AWS. As a company, you may want to deploy or migrate your services from a data center to AWS. 

You can get a direct link to AWS to your data even if you are a large organization with a huge data center. 

The tool needs to improve its stability and support which should be faster. The product's pricing is also expensive. When we scale up, we have to pay more. 

I am using the product since 2018. 

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

I would rate the product's scalability a five out of ten. My company has 20 users for the solution. We use the solution on a daily basis. 

The tool's setup is easy and I would rate it a nine out of ten. It's easy to setup and onboard to AWS. However, you would need technical knowledge to troubleshoot. The tool's deployment took one to two weeks to complete. We first conducted a cost-benefit analysis and presented it to the management. Once it was approved, it had a look at the service offerings from AWS and worked on the design based on the AWS architecture framework. We used the Lambda function for the deployment and Terraform to automate the process. We had a five-member deployment team that consisted of demo guys, solution architects, DevOps solution architects, etc. I supervised the overall deployment. 

AWS offers 100 percent ROI for a startup. 

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

I have evaluated Azure where the approach and terminologies is very different from AWS. 

I would rate the product a seven out of ten. You need to sit down with your stakeholder and identify the advantages of migrating to AWS. You need to conduct an analysis on whether you really need to migrate to AWS. You need to be also aware that when the number of services deployed on the cloud increases, the cost also increases. 

We use the solution to create virtual private networks for our customers. We use it for connectivity and traffic control. We also use subnets.

The solution enables us to provide a private cloud for our customers. The solution is secure. We use it for the security purposes. We can do networking and create routes. Subnetting is good for security purposes. We can add inbound and outbound groups. We can allow the traffic. We can decide whether to allow inbound or outbound traffic according to the customers’ needs.

If something needs to be highlighted, peering must be maintained.

I have been using the solution for the past two years.

I haven’t had any bugs or breakdown issues. I rate the stability an eight out of ten.

The support is good.

The deployment is easy. The UI is user-friendly.

I will recommend the product to others. People can use the tool as a secure private network for their systems. Overall, I rate the product an eight out of ten.

We use Amazon VPC primarily for our organization's security needs. It helps us maintain isolation and control over our cloud services, similar to our Microsoft cloud service. We use it to communicate with our analytics securely and easily.

The main feature I like about Amazon VPC is its security capabilities, including security groups and subnets. It is easy to implement and manage our systems within specific subnets. Additionally, using Terraform for management tasks simplifies the process, and VPC's provision of basic details makes managing the infrastructure straightforward.

In terms of VPC itself, I haven't encountered any major areas for improvement. However, one concern is the cost, which can be relatively high compared to other cloud providers like Azure and Google Cloud. This can sometimes lead to considerations of switching to a different provider for cost optimization.

I have been using Amazon Virtual Private Cloud for over three years.

I would rate the stability of the solution as a ten out of ten.

VPC's scalability is excellent because there are no limitations on deploying VPCs. I would rate the scalability as a ten out of ten.

I haven't encountered any issues with Amazon's technical support team. I would rate them as a nine out of ten.

Positive

Setting up a network in Amazon VPC is straightforward and beginner-friendly. Deployment took about ten minutes. The user interface is easy to navigate, and Amazon provides comprehensive guidelines and resources to help users understand the setup process. Additionally, updates and new features are regularly provided.

We use Amazon VPC to scale our resources efficiently. We employ horizontal auto-scaling with auto-scaling groups to automatically adjust capacity based on fluctuations in traffic. By setting scaling policies and planning ahead, we ensure seamless resource allocation as traffic increases or decreases. While we primarily use horizontal scaling, we also consider vertical scaling when necessary.

Integrating VPC with other AWS services is seamless and essential for most AWS deployments. Whenever we create resources in Amazon, such as EC2 instances or Auto Scaling Groups, we rely on VPC to provide the necessary networking configuration, like IP address ranges and subnets. This integration simplifies the setup process and is easy to understand and manage.

I would recommend Amazon VPC, but it is essential to consider the cost compared to other cloud services like Azure and Google Cloud. For those using VPC for the first time, understand basic networking concepts like IP addressing and subnetting, prioritize security measures, and plan your VPC deployment based on your specific requirements.

Overall, I would rate Amazon VPC as a ten out of ten.

Amazon Virtual Private Cloud is the heart of the application, and we use it for our private network.

The solution's subnetting feature is good and has impacted our network design. We can create multiple machines with subnetting services. We can divide the CIDR with the help of subnets. It provides security, and we can create subnets in public and private.

When we create instances without public IP, the paid services provided by the solution, NAT gateway, are costly.

I have been using Amazon Virtual Private Cloud for three years.

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

Around 50 users are using the solution in our organization.

I rate the solution’s scalability a nine out of ten.

The solution’s initial setup is easy.

It takes two or three hours to deploy Amazon Virtual Private Cloud.

In our environment, we have public and private infrastructure. The public front-end applications are directly accessible to the client. In a private network, we use database machines, like RDS machines.

It's easy to set up security groups in the new versions of Amazon Virtual Private Cloud. AWS also provides options to create subnets with the solution. I would recommend the solution to other users. A client using AWS needs to create an Amazon Virtual Private Cloud.

Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

Our company uses the solution to define subnet EC2 instances and security groups. We also set up networks of instances and connect with some services. 

It is very simple to define a network, connect subnets, and set up routing. It might be a bit tricky in the beginning, but once you learn how to do things it is very practical. 

It is a bit difficult to find things because you don't have a single pane of glass or dashboard for every resource. You have to jump from one region to another. If you have an organizations, then you have to jump from one account to another. It is a bit difficult to move and have an overall view of resources within a complex organization. 

A dashboard should list every resource or type without being limited to one region at a time. Every region or account should show for an organizational unit to provide a better view of what is running.  Jumping around and logging in or out to view resources wastes time because it requires multiple browser tabs in incognito mode. 

I have been using the solution for two years. 

I have never experienced issues with stability like I have with other products. Stability is rated a nine out of ten. 

The scalability is rated an eight out of ten. 

I have not interacted with support about the solution specifically. I have interacted with them about the control tower and landing zone. Support is very good so is rated an eight out of ten. 

Positive

The setup is simple. Once you learn the concept, you can move forward in a very straightforward way. Setup is rated a seven out of ten. 

We implement the solution in-house. Depending on the complexity, implementations take anywhere from 30 minutes to a few hours. 

The solution is good but might be a bit complicated when you have many VPCs because you have to move back and forth between accounts. 

I rate the solution an eight out of ten. 

I have been working on various projects including ERP solutions and data projects where we need a robust and versatile environment setup. due to its seamless integration options, network isolation and private endpoints, we found it as the best for our projects. 

Actually, there are a bunch of features such as manageable Ip addresses (IPAM), network ACLs, private links, VPC endpoints, transit gateways, global accelerator. Especially with our data projects, we feel more confident with AWS services in effectively managing the security of our infrastructure.

Um... it could be something like an AI-based network security solution based on usage and industry standard patterns.

We have been using Amazon Virtual Private Cloud for four years.

The solution is generally stable, and I consider AWS a reliable cloud service provider compared to others. However, we encountered some issues recently, such as extending the quota without success, possibly due to a bug. Nevertheless, these issues were resolved within 24 hours.

The platform helps us effectively utilize our company resources, including databases. I rate the scalability an eight out of ten.

The technical support team is good and supportive.

Positive

I also worked on Azure for some project requirement. But I prefer AWS over Azure for stable and bug free console experience. AWS is more robust and reliable.

The initial setup was pretty straightforward for us. Since, we are using Terraform IAC, a ready to deploy environment is just a command away.

I use Amazon Virtual Private Cloud for deploying servers on EC2. It helps with data migration from the on-premise setup to the cloud. It connects resources to the internet through services like Amazon Internet Gateways. It enables us to create software-defined network environments as well.

The product is flexible and easy to use.

There could be better documentation for specific services. It has a lot of technical processes, including outbound and inbound rules. It is complicated for a new user to understand the product’s usability. They should break down the processes with effective explanations.
