Cons
"Users use websites as a tutorial. However, the Alibaba Cloud website has the content, and the scripts are copied from Amazon Web Services. We had received customer feedback where the customer asked us to get formulate original content instead of copying from Amazon Web Services. It’s very odd and awkward.""The flexibility of the solution could be improved.""The user experience must be improved.""Alibaba Cloud needs to increase availability in Thailand.""Alibaba Cloud's initial setup is somewhat complex.""The solution needs to improve its graphical user interface.""The majority of the tools and processes, in general, have a lot of room for improvement.""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."

More Alibaba Cloud Cons →

"Perhaps the one thing that could be improved is the documentation around the solution.""We've had some challenges with the implementation.""The pricing can be better.""The biggest weakness with Clusters at this point is that the adoption rate is low because customers don't know enough about it.""The reporting has room for improvement.""I'd like more flexible options to get in and out of migration modes.""Some of the interfaces aren't as intuitive as they should be.""The technical support for Nutanix Clusters could be better."

  • "The cost is better than similar solutions."
  • "Pricing for Alibaba Cloud is a little bit cheaper. It has reasonable pricing."
  • "The price of Alibaba Cloud is good. If I was to use Microsoft Azure I would have to pay 30 percent more."
