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.

Automated safeguards have protected patient data and simplify healthcare cloud compliance
ClearDATA Platform helped the healthcare organization, primarily used by healthcare providers in health, medical devices, and healthcare software, by integrating in such a way that it achieves compliance regulations as well as automated security protocols, controls, and monitors any cloud infrastructure risks while detecting security threats and generating audit reports. The best features of ClearDATA Platform include automated safeguard enforcement, compliance monitoring, audit-ready report preparation, and risk dashboards, all of which are essential. The biggest impact for my client comes from safeguard enforcement and risk scoring dashboards, as these features positively influence the organization by protecting sensitive patient data, ensuring it cannot be disclosed outside of the organization, and providing an overview of all security risks.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Provisioning and resource administration include billing dashboards, which are very extensive."
"It is very easy to set up, it is also easy to use, and it has a lot of services and integrations so we have been able to integrate whatever we need until now."
"The product is easy to use."
"The experience with Amazon AWS is error-free. That was also, of course, something that I really appreciate. That means it's really well-tested and, as published or as declared."
"In general, the cost management in Amazon is complicated. It's not too straightforward."
"We are loving this solution so far, and it has certainly reduced the time it takes to stack up new applications."
"Customers don't need to calculate what their future requirements need to be; they can start using Amazon AWS no matter what the requirements are, and if they increase size it can support them, and by using the solution they can reduce their infrastructure, which helps them reduce the cost of their infrastructure."
"There are a lot of features that I really like including ease of deployment, ease of build and release, and also that it is heavily focused on a PaaS or SaaS model."
"After ClearDATA Platform is implemented, I received an appreciation email from the client stating they are very satisfied with the platform, and they were very happy with both the implementation and my recommendation."
 

Cons

"The solution should be made friendlier to use. As far as the automation is concerned, the backups should be scaled."
"I think that the interface could be improved."
"The problem with AWS is you have to keep up with the technology."
"They are mainly generalists without access to the operating system. As such, they can provide container level insights,not necessarily at the application level."
"It would be good to see integration with a low code platform."
"The price of the Virtual Desktop service from Amazon AWS could improve, it is more expensive than competitors."
"Amazon AWS could improve on security."
"An area for improvement would be API creation - a lot of tools are provided, but there can be issues with integrating them."
"The reason for my eight rating is that it is not integrated with artificial intelligence, which is a primary reason for the score."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We are happy with the pricing."
"Much faster than other solutions at a super low cost."
"For the initial 12 months, the solution is reasonably priced. On enterprise license contracts where you negotiate, have been reasonable too."
"We pay a monthly licensing fee. It's below $100 a month."
"This solution offers good pricing."
"Amazon AWS has pay-as-you-go options available."
"The solution's pricing depends on your traffic since they charge you based on the traffic, not the servers. The price can go into many, many thousands depending on the traffic."
"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."
