Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Oracle and others in Infrastructure as a Service Clouds (IaaS)."The cost of hosting the solution is very reasonable. It's quite inexpensive."
"ECS is the most valuable feature of the solution."
"I rate Alibaba Cloud's scalability an eight out of ten."
"Feature-wise, it provides many features. ECS, VM, SP, bucket object storage, and databases are the most valuable."
"The most valuable feature of Alibaba Cloud is the communication it allows between two servers."
"Flexibility and costs were probably the most important thing for us. The cost was one of the big factors for choosing Alibaba Cloud relative to other cloud solutions, especially in Asia"
"What's good about Alibaba Cloud is its database service. It's also good in the virtual machine area."
"It is a scalable product. So, scaling up or scaling down is possible."
"Their technical support is really good. I am very satisfied."
"The experience with Amazon AWS is error-free. That was also, of course, something that I really appreciate. That means it's really well-tested and, as published or as declared."
"Easy to access and secure, two important features."
"Technical support is quite helpful."
"The installation is quite straightforward."
"AWS is stable."
"This solution is stable and reliable."
"The technical support is good."
"The control is valuable. It's really easy to use and you have good control of your solutions."
"The dynamic vertical scaling is a unique feature."
"The solution is scalable, and that is what we are looking at. There is no learning curve as we have not done much research."
"Technical support from Jelastic is very good."
"The advanced level of production-ready Docker hosting, one-click application deployment, and the truly flexible pricing."
"A big area for improvement in Alibaba Cloud is its support. Another area for improvement in Alibaba Cloud is SDK-based service because sometimes, the SDKs don't work correctly. Support for API-based services also needs improvement in Alibaba Cloud because, at the moment, it's not that stable."
"From a performance point of view, Huawei and Azure are faster. Alibaba isn't as good."
"The user experience must be improved."
"The solution needs to improve its graphical user interface."
"The solution should have more integration."
"From the improvement point of view, there are lots of issues that we are facing. In all the areas, it seems like it is not mature. For example, a customer wants to provision some VM that has many configurations. If I want to show the price to the customer, it is very challenging. The SDK that Alibaba has provided is very limited. We can have the pricing for VM, but we cannot have pricing for RDS databases or some other services. This is a big concern area for us. They should put more effort into the SDKs or APIs that they provide, for example, pricing APIs or pricing SDK. They do not provide support for most of the services they provide. For example, if I want to get the price of MongoDB, that SDK is not available from Alibaba. Similarly, robust API support is required for S3, which is OSS or Object Storage, so that we can read the data in a faster manner, for example, in chunks. We have raised many issues with the Alibaba support team, and they have been fixing the issues after we report them."
"The solution name is not favorable in some markets and could cause us some problems gaining customers."
"Alibaba Cloud's initial setup is somewhat complex."
"Price is an area with a shortcoming in the solution that has a scope for improvement"
"I'm just bugged by the charges that I'm not really able to manage."
"There is room for improvement in pricing."
"AWS could be improved with more integration, but I can see that they're developing these features and working very hard on their platform."
"Some services that are not used often have poor quality and need to be improved."
"Some features may be better in Azure or some other portal. AWS could add some of those features."
"The IEM (Infrastructure Event Management) appears to be complicated, specifically cross-account resource permissions."
"The availability could be better."
"For now, some customers are requesting support of Docker containers for Windows."
"Lacks better integration into enterprise storage products."
"The backup features need improvement, or rather it should be added, as I could not find it."
"The backup functionality needs to be improved."
"The security layers also need to be improved because there is no clear layer or tier of security in the solution."
