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.

Excellent support but it is a costly solution

The solution is working okay. But we are facing issues with the network because in our country, Yemen, we have some trouble. The country is very crazy because of the war we have. So, we are facing issues with the network. Most of the customers complain about the network communicating with the Cloud. We went with the Oracle solution for Interconnect because they are the preferred solution for that. But it is very unstable and the customer refuses to deal with it. They cannot do anything because Oracle recommends a stable network but we do not have that.

"It is easy to set up."

"The cost of hosting the solution is very reasonable. It's quite inexpensive."

"What's good about Alibaba Cloud is its database service. It's also good in the virtual machine area."

"The most valuable feature of Alibaba Cloud is the communication it allows between two servers."

"The product's initial setup phase was easy for me since I had a background in cloud products."

"ECS is the most valuable feature of the solution."

"Feature-wise, it provides many features. ECS, VM, SP, bucket object storage, and databases are the most valuable."

"The installation is easy."

More Alibaba Cloud pros

"The initial setup was straightforward."

Cons

"The solution name is not favorable in some markets and could cause us some problems gaining customers."

"The user experience must be improved."

"The flexibility of the solution could be improved."

"The solution needs to improve its graphical user interface."

"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 support offered by the tool is ridiculous."

"Alibaba Cloud's initial setup is somewhat complex."

"The solution’s user interface could be improved."

More Alibaba Cloud cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Alibaba Cloud is cheaper."

"I don't know the exact cost. It is cheaper than AWS."

"The cost is better than similar solutions."

"The product is not that expensive."

"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."

"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."
