Asif  Meem - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Machine Learning Engineer at sportsbet
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.

Offers flexibility and better accessibility to users
The security part of the tool is not so strong, making it an area I would like to see improved in the solution. When working with a cloud tool, it's never 100 percent secure and it is always something to take into account. I would like to be more comfortable working with it and feeling safer. In the future, the tool can be made faster. In the future, I would like to see maybe some AI features in the tool to help automate stuff. You need to be able to create your own models to help create some automated actions.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We have no issues with the stability of Amazon AWS."
"Amazon AWS is easy to use, scales well, is flexible, and when compared to Google Cloud Platform or Microsoft Azure, it has almost all of the features."
"It's very stable and the performance is good."
"AWS is a good vehicle to get your business started without too much of an upfront investment."
"The experience with Amazon AWS is error-free, which I really appreciate, because it means it's well-tested and works as declared."
"AWS is stable and has provided a reliable infrastructure for my organization."
"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."
"This solution offers a very detailed dashboard that has some metrics, such as performance and budget."
"The ability to manage security and access the server from any location with complete security using SSH is perfect for performing crucial tasks, even while travelling."
"With Oracle Java Cloud Service, in a few clicks, you can set up an entire WebLogic server in the AWS cloud services and the storage cloud services."
"The ability to manage security and access the server from any location with complete security using SSH is perfect for performing crucial tasks, even while travelling."
"One key feature is getting to choose the Virtual Machine configurations while setting up the server, which is an automated process."
"Operational overhead and expenses have been reduced due to easy provisioning and decommissioning of dev/test environments."
"The product is very good, fine-tuned, and stable, and support is available 24/7 and is really fast and effective."
"The Oracle Java Cloud Service has enabled our developers to focus on what they do best: developing modern Java applications."
"It's a very low-cost option for a business to start with."
 

Cons

"The interface needs a bit of work. It's not intuitive."
"The technical support has been challenging."
"There are numerous use cases, and the setup varies from complicated to very simple in some cases."
"They can launch the Oracle service in Azure, and we expect that this should be possible in Amazon AWS as well."
"One thing that Azure offers that I think is good is Migrate appliance. So, Azure has a migrate appliance that allows you to run against workloads to determine the cost, preparedness, and scalability. I haven't found a similar feature in AWS."
"I would like to see Lambda (code storage management), which means being able to increase our code storage limit through support."
"Amazon AWS could be improved with cheaper licensing costs."
"There is a bit of a learning curve. That said, it's likely no different than learning any other cloud."
"The security part of the tool is not so strong, making it an area I would like to see improved in the solution."
"Integration with Oracle products is well-supported. The same should be provided for other products that are used in most organizations, like PeopleSoft, CA, etc."
"I think there should be improvement with the speed and it should offer a more diverse selection of the suites that I can use."
"The product's high price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The product is satisfactory but we need more training on managing the machine itself."
"It has been built on Java technology but requires more integration with other APIs and CI tools."
"There are issues with the application's development, including small glitches and errors."
"The product is satisfactory but we need more training on managing the machine itself. For example, how do we add more storage, how do we extend a specific portion? I would like to see videos illustrating some of the technical tasks that we often need to do."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's a pay-per-use model."
"One of the best thing in Amazon AWS is you are billed for the service you use."
"The pricing of AWS was attractive for us, so that's something that's okay at least for this transaction-based system. However, we still have some concerns about more data-driven applications or those that involve a lot of heavy uploading and downloading. So our whole data warehouse is still something that would not go into the cloud because of the pricing model."
"It's an expensive product."
"When it comes to professional certification in AWS, I implore others to study hard before your exams because $300 is a painful waste of money if you fail."
"One of the best-kept ways to reduce costs is to develop it on serverless technologies with AWS Lambda, SNS, DynamoDB, and S3."
"They have a pay-as-you-go subscription."
"It's not very pricey, but it could be cheaper."
"Oracle Java Cloud Service is an expensive product."
"Oracle is a little more expensive right now, but not much compared to SAP. Oracle's prices are very much dependent on the scale of the project and how many users are there."
"It is somewhat expensive."
