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

"Otherwise, the cost of Alibaba Cloud is reasonable, and service-wise, it's also good because it has many available services worth trying."
"It is easy to set up."
"ECS is the most valuable feature of the solution."
"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."
"When comparing solutions such as GCP, which is the same as Alibaba Cloud, and others such as Amazon AWS and Azure, Alibaba Cloud is the preferred solution in China."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy for me since I had a background in cloud products."
"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"
"Feature-wise, it provides many features, and ECS, VM, SP, bucket object storage, and databases are the most valuable."
"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."
"Amazon Bedrock's main value lies in its LLM capabilities; these are not generally things you can host easily on SageMaker, and you have to build up custom environments, particularly if you want access to the proprietary models."
"Amazon Bedrock is an artificial intelligence engine that allows me to upload analyses of the quality of customer support calls."
"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."
"Amazon Bedrock is easy to use and practical, allowing for quick development."
"The most valuable features of Amazon Bedrock include scalability, ease of access, having 20 to 25 plus pre-trained models, and scaling capabilities."
"Amazon Bedrock offers an environment where we only pay for the model we use, and AWS handles the scaling."
 

Cons

"I think that sometimes the customer service for Alibaba Cloud is inefficient.... Sometimes it's hard to reach out to them."
"The user experience must be improved."
"From a performance point of view, Huawei and Azure are faster. Alibaba isn't as good."
"The solution name is not favorable in some markets and could cause us some problems gaining customers."
"I wouldn't recommend Alibaba. I think other companies should just use Azure instead, as it's a much simpler solution."
"Regarding security issues, Alibaba Cloud is more complex and better suited for developers and R&D teams. On the other hand, Google Cloud is more convenient for new users."
"Alibaba Cloud needs to increase availability in Thailand."
"It is not robust."
"The end-to-end application setup integration was very difficult."
"I would appreciate a greater focus on agentic Gen AI applications in Bedrock."
"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."
"What could be improved for Amazon Bedrock to make it more mature is that AWS needs to consider bringing their platforms together, and not having different ML and AI platforms."
"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."
"Amazon Bedrock is quite highly scalable, but there are some limitations they impose on the accounts, which could be an area for improvement."
"It would be beneficial if Bedrock were optimized for hyperscale use to avoid needing a mixed approach with SageMaker."
"While working with Bedrock, I incurred charges that were not explicitly mentioned in the pricing documentation."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"I don't know the exact cost. It is cheaper than AWS."
"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."
"Pricing for Alibaba Cloud is a little bit cheaper. It has reasonable pricing."
"We cut our costs significantly by migrating our infrastructure to the cloud. Alibaba Cloud employs a pay-as-you-go model, so that minimizes many costs for us."
"The price of Alibaba Cloud is good. If I was to use Microsoft Azure I would have to pay 30 percent more."
"One customer paid around $100 to $200 per month, which was significant given their overall infrastructure costs."
"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."
