Amazon Virtual Private Cloud Reviews

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.

I use the basic controls of the solution mostly for networking. It is like a visual data center. It manages our networking, machines, firewalls, and permissions.

The product is really useful to us.

The setup, in general, is valuable to us. We can set up our own data center.

The solution could improve its price.

I have been using the solution for six years.

We don't pay for the product itself. We pay for the resources that we put into it. Before using the product, people should use the best manual to know what they are doing. Overall, I rate the tool a ten 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.

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.

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 the solution to set up Virtual Private Networks. 

Amazon Virtual Private Cloud administers an entire infrastructure in the cloud. Its ability to create subnets has been helpful for our resource deployment. 

The solution needs to add step-by-step tutorials for its services. 

I have been using the product for a few years. 

Amazon Private Cloud never breaks down. 

Amazon Private Cloud has 1000 users in my company. 

The tool's deployment is easy. 

Amazon Virtual Private Cloud is a good product. I rate it 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. 

Amazon VPC's provides a cloud environment that can be private for any company. This means you can have services and servers running in a private environment, isolated from any services on prem. This gives you the capabilities of interconnecting specific services and ports to your internal network.

You are able to keep data in a secure environment where no one can access it without being responsible for the power consumption, cooling of hosts or a disaster recovery scenario. You can avoid any destructive situations. We are using a hybrid infrastructure in our own server room, in combination with cloud instances that we replicate in our zone in a secure way. We use encrypted panels from our premises to Amazon, transferring data and storing it safely.

The best feature is that you can run your servers directly on Amazon's premises, and have access to the internet without Amazon utilizing your own internet connection in your office. You can filter all the traffic and select only the relevant services and network traffic capacitor.

This solution is not fully compatible with every vendor that we use regarding firewalls and networking equipment. They provide you with the option and details on how to configure this on your premises but it would be good to have an easier way to do this. 

I have been using this solution for four years. 

This is a very stable solution with very little down time.

This is a scalable solution. 

Amazon is really hard to contact. Technically, I have not needed their support. On one occasion, we missed emails that referred to a failed payment due to a card cancellation. A couple of months later, our account was suspended and our servers were shut down as a result. It took us four to five hours to figure out how to fulfill the payment and proceed with the account enabling. The support at that time wasn't good. There wasn't a phone number that you could call directly and resolve the issue. We had to open a ticket and wait.

Neutral

The initial setup can be complex depending on your needs but overall I would say that it is straightforward. From my experience, based on my needs, I can have a server running and VPN connected to our system in about an hour.

This solution is quite expensive.

At the time that we decided to use Amazon, the main competitor was Microsoft Azure. We decided to go with Amazon due to the lack of knowledge on how to do the same things using Azure.

Minor issues that can have a major impact on a company's progress and work, can be prevented by using this solution. 

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten. 

My company runs multiple services on AWS EKS, and to create a network and communication between such services, we use Amazon Virtual Private Cloud. In general, my company uses the tool for multiple services.

The most valuable features of the solution are its security groups and NACL, which allows users to configure the routing tables and other related areas.

The overall integration capabilities of Amazon Virtual Private Cloud with third-party tools need to improve.

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

It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine and a half out of ten.

Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine and a half out of ten.
