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

"I like the technical support."
"It is enough for us in terms of features. We don't have too many transactions, and it is sufficient for our current needs."
"AWS's security model, including IAM or security groups, has contributed to our organization's compliance. It manages authentication, permissions, and overall security posture, which helps us maintain compliance."
"The tool's most valuable features are AWS Security Hub and AWS GuardDuty."
"We have many projects where we can resolve a lot of issues with Amazon AWS. It has given customers a lot of visibility with their data. Many customers do not know what they can learn from their data and I provide them with this using useful information using Amazon AWS."
"The capacity to grow dynamically based on our needs is most valuable, we can increase resources dynamically, and it is also very reliable and fast to implement."
"Easy to deploy through the channel model for serverless architecture and easy to integrate through the organization model."
"AWS is constantly growing in features with every new version. It's a good cloud provider with excellent availability."
"Artisan Infrastructure is a pure business continuity and DR solution, which means no other solution can compete with it."
"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

"Some extensions are better than others."
"In some scenarios, Azure will support hybrid cloud better while AWS offers direct connection."
"AWS could use better integration with other products and clouds."
"On the console, they used to have some shortcuts making this solution easier to work with, but now we have been dealing with so many problems on the console, and some of the options are not very useful in my perspective, so they should bring back those options that make things easier to run some of the services."
"The solution could improve by being more secure."
"Our API Management solution is integrated with Lambda, and last year, we had an issue while upgrading Lambda from version 8.0 to version 10."
"The technical support from AWS has not been very forthcoming; it is very difficult to get."
"AWS is very expensive. It's paid on a monthly basis and you have to pay for the resources that you use."
"What needs improvement in Artisan Infrastructure is compatibility with Linux because it only works on Windows."
"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

"We are currently paying for the solution on an annual basis."
"One of the best thing in Amazon AWS is you are billed for the service you use."
"We are reducing costs year-over-year."
"Pricing is an area that can be improved because it is very complicated. It considers the number of processes, bandwidth, and different kinds of usage. This makes it difficult to predict."
"It could be cheaper, and Amazon could also be more transparent with its pricing. I would first expect any product vendor to give me the utmost transparency on pricing information. There shouldn't be any hidden costs. Their service offerings have a bit of segmentation, and they focus more on SMBs. They brought them onto the cloud and encouraged them to use solutions on the cloud. But strategically, they should probably improve that and offer some credits."
"Billing for cloud services can be difficult at times."
"The solution is on a subscription-based model, and it is pay-as-you-go. The price could be cheaper."
"There are no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fees."
"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."
