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.

Good stability and scalability with excellent additional services
The features that are on offer are pretty standard. The pricing and services that surround the solution are great. For example, if we need to find a partner in a country where they do not have a cloud, they will help us find that partner. Solutions such as Amazon and Oracle do not offer this level of service. The solution has quite good documentation.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"What's good about Alibaba Cloud is its database service. It's also good in the virtual machine area."
"The cost of hosting the solution is very reasonable; it's quite inexpensive and the solution is very secure."
"The most valuable feature of Alibaba Cloud is the communication it allows between two servers."
"The installation is easy."
"ECS is the most valuable feature of the solution."
"It's easy to use, cheaper than other solutions, and more secure."
"It is easy to set up."
"It is a scalable product. So, scaling up or scaling down is possible."
"The initial setup process is more accessible than one of its competitors."
"The pricing and services that surround the solution are great, and if we need to find a partner in a country where they do not have a cloud, they will help us find that partner, which is a level of service that solutions such as Amazon and Oracle do not offer."
 

Cons

"Alibaba Cloud needs to increase availability in Thailand."
"The solution needs to improve its graphical user interface."
"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."
"I would not recommend the solution to others."
"If you want more accuracy, stability, and 24/7 customer support, primarily relying on the SDKs and APIs, you should think twice."
"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."
"The user experience must be improved."
"The solution needs to provide a bigger portfolio of services. The solution could use more advanced monitoring."
"NTT Cloud’s performance could be better."
 

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."
"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 product is not that expensive."
"I don't know the exact cost. It is cheaper than AWS."
"The cost is better than similar solutions."
"The price of Alibaba Cloud is good. If I was to use Microsoft Azure I would have to pay 30 percent more."
"The solution's pricing is the same as AWS'."
"Alibaba Cloud is cheaper."
"I rate the product’s pricing a four out of ten."
