Managed cloud services have helped accelerate experiments with flexible configuration options
Sometimes the costs associated with spinning up a service, especially managed services, have implications. For example, if I create a Glue job, that will create S3 buckets and other resources that have cost implications, but once I clean up a Glue job, it does not delete the other accessory resources. Sometimes, I have to go hunting for what resources Amazon AWS might have provisioned and how it is costing behind the scenes. It can be complex depending on your level of expertise. It is not as easy to get started, especially when it comes to secure practices. Amazon AWS is more hands-on than other platforms.

Stable, scalable, has zero RTO, and a knowledgeable technical support team
What I like best about Artisan Infrastructure is that it has zero RTO, and that's the beauty of this solution because that feature isn't provided by other solutions right now. Artisan Infrastructure is a pure business continuity and DR solution, which means no other solution can compete with it. It also has the capability of being a service cloud.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Amazon AWS is stable and we have not faced any issues."
"The pricing is one of the best in the segment."
"Works very quickly and is well managed."
"The technical support of AWS is very good; when I need something, they reach out to me fast."
"Amazon AWS is user-friendly and intuitive."
"I like the storage, all the codes like Lambda and Amazon EMR."
"Setting up AWS was pretty easy. It was straightforward to set up, and it took us a year to develop and migrate our mobile banking solution to the AWS cloud. Our migration experience was quite positive."
"In general, Amazon's performance is good."
"What I like best about Artisan Infrastructure is that it has zero RTO, and that's the beauty of this solution because that feature isn't provided by other solutions right now. Artisan Infrastructure is a pure business continuity and DR solution, which means no other solution can compete with it. It also has the capability of being a service cloud."
 

Cons

"Monthly costs can be high if you don't maintain your usage"
"Amazon AWS would be improved if it were more stable and if customer support's responses were faster."
"They're really good on the business computing side, but there are other services where they can do really well. They can improve the data analytics platform and the data warehousing platform."
"We've dealt with technical support in the past and have not been satisfied for the most part. Azure's technical support is much better."
"The interface is relatively complex."
"Setup is somewhat complex."
"The solution could improve by being more secure."
"Recently we had a long conversation about functionality that is missing in Alexa — in Mexico, specifically. Alexa for Business is a service and platform that Americans can use to make a call to an Amazon Echo device or a telephone via the app. But in Mexico, we are not allowed to use that technology. This is a significant disadvantage of AWS for those living in Mexico."
"What needs improvement in Artisan Infrastructure is compatibility with Linux because it only works on Windows. I also wish to see some new features in Artisan Infrastructure. In the next release of Artisan Infrastructure, I'd like it to have integration with both Linux and Mac."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The prices are a bit high."
"It's my understanding that our company is charged a few hundred dollars on a monthly basis."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"There are no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fees."
"The licensing cost varies with the project involved."
"We are reducing costs year-over-year."
"The price could be lower."
"The prices are somewhat on the higher side. It would help if they can bring it down, especially for the sporting segment and for on-demand instances."
"Pricing for Artisan Infrastructure is competitive, though it's a little bit high because it's an excellent solution. You can expect a higher price if you buy a solution that works well. The cost of Artisan Infrastructure would depend on the server size. If I were to rate the price for Artisan Infrastructure, I'd give it a three out of five."
