Min HtetOo - PeerSpot reviewer
Chief Marketing Officer at Soft Intelligence
The solution is useful for application development, but the user interface and user experience must be improved
The product must be made easier to use. The design is a bit tricky. When we log in to the Alibaba Cloud Marketplace and browse products, they look very small. The user experience must be improved. Alibaba Cloud must increase its partner network and brand awareness in our country. It will give our customers more opportunities to scale and save in the long run.
Amal Amami - PeerSpot reviewer
Data Scientist Team Lead at Venarisecurity
Access to large language models has transformed how our team invokes APIs and creates reports
I may not be the right person to provide this insight or recommendation. I am not really following the progress in it. Some new features may have been implemented and I am not aware of it. I would have to go back to Amazon Bedrock for that information. Working on agentic tools and providing more capability on agentic AI is what was missing at the last time I explored Amazon Bedrock. As I recall now, I found some limitations or some models are not present in Amazon Bedrock sometimes while they are present in other platforms. There are new models that are coming, and sometimes I cannot find them in Amazon Bedrock. The limitation of region sometimes also caused some problems. Some models are found in regions and not in others, and the customers or the clients do not want the model to be hosted in a region different than their own. These are some limitations that we encounter sometimes while working on a product for a specific customer.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The product's initial setup phase was easy for me since I had a background in cloud products."
"It's easy to use, cheaper than other solutions, and more secure."
"ECS is the most valuable feature of the solution."
"It is a scalable product. So, scaling up or scaling down is possible."
"Alibaba Cloud allows for easy setup of mirror sites and backup servers, ensuring data redundancy and high availability."
"The most valuable feature of Alibaba Cloud is the communication it allows between two servers."
"We cut our costs significantly by migrating our infrastructure to the cloud, and Alibaba Cloud employs a pay-as-you-go model, so that minimizes many costs for us."
"We use the solution's AI features for data analysis."
"The impact of Amazon Bedrock's sophisticated natural language processing on our company's ability to predict future outcomes is very interesting because, before we were using some Python codes, we created server instances to upload it, and we had some difficulty integrating it with the ecosystem because all the features we were creating were manually based."
"The most beneficial aspect of Bedrock is its pool of models to choose from, catering to specific needs."
"The no-code application of the service is beneficial since it allows creating solutions without extensive coding knowledge."
"One of the best features of Amazon Bedrock is that it is easy to use, and users do not have to worry about the infrastructure."
"The valuable feature of Bedrock is its flexibility and comprehensiveness in what it's offering, providing parameters that we can change."
"Amazon Bedrock offers an environment where we only pay for the model we use, and AWS handles the scaling."
"Overall, I rate Amazon Bedrock ten out of ten."
"Bedrock proved beneficial for generating SQL queries, which helped in delivering precise information from the database."
 

Cons

"The majority of the tools and processes, in general, have a lot of room for improvement."
"I wouldn't recommend Alibaba. I think other companies should just use Azure instead, as it's a much simpler solution."
"The solution needs to improve its graphical user interface."
"Customer support has a lot of room for improvement. There's just general documentation, general customer support, and general maturity of the processes are all lacking when compared to Amazon or Google."
"The user experience must be improved."
"The solution should have more integration."
"The support offered by the tool is ridiculous."
"The solution name is not favorable in some markets and could cause us some problems gaining customers."
"Amazon native models could proliferate Bedrock in the future. We would welcome Amazon native models to Bedrock since, if they are natively built by Amazon, they are tuned to SageMaker and other Amazon service layers."
"It would be beneficial if Amazon Bedrock could provide multiple responses to a query, allowing users to choose the best option."
"While working with Bedrock, I incurred charges that were not explicitly mentioned in the pricing documentation."
"It would be beneficial if Bedrock were optimized for hyperscale use to avoid needing a mixed approach with SageMaker."
"Bedrock could be improved by having an API that allows for easy integration with services outside of Bedrock."
"However, their product is not as mature as Snowflake or Databricks."
"Overall, I rate Amazon Bedrock a seven out of ten. It is slightly difficult to integrate with our product."
"The initial setup of Amazon Bedrock is somewhat complex as it requires integration with two to three services."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a three out of ten."
"The cost is better than similar solutions."
"Alibaba Cloud is cheaper."
"The product is not that expensive."
"Pricing for Alibaba Cloud is a little bit cheaper. It has reasonable pricing."
"I'm not sure about the exact pricing, but let's just say if it cost a dollar for Amazon AWS, it was closer to 70 to 80 cents for Alibaba Cloud."
"The price of Alibaba Cloud is good. If I was to use Microsoft Azure I would have to pay 30 percent more."
"I noticed on the pricing that it's quite expensive. It is the price you pay for making a practical choice for enterprise-level companies since it has so many features and it fits an enterprise-level company just like our company right now."
"The cost of using Amazon Bedrock is quite high, as I incurred unexpected charges amounting to $130 USD within two weeks without actually deploying the model."
"One customer paid around $100 to $200 per month, which was significant given their overall infrastructure costs."
