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

"I like the auto-scaling functionality and compliance requirements, whichever they are requesting."
"There is less work for the DBAs. Everything is handled in AWS itself."
"AWS's containerization is the most useful feature for us."
"So far, the stability is the solution's most valuable aspect."
"Provisioning and resource administration include billing dashboards, which are very extensive."
"This solution is very easy to use and it has a professional interface."
"It has helped reduce the cost by rationing the computing power and paying only on a per usage basis, instead of provisioning unneeded, idle, or unutilized computing power that is used only at 20% of its capacity or time."
"It scales extremely well."
"The product is very good, fine-tuned, and stable, and support is available 24/7 and is really fast and effective."
"Backing up and recovery for my domain is very easy and fast. In addition, applying patches and undoing applied patches is effective and easy to do."
"Fast, rapid and agile development and deployment of an ADF application (within Proof-of-Concept project) involves four developers in a distributed team (across two different time-zones) and through this they are able to cooperate quickly, without the usual problems of dev/test environment deployments."
"It offers easy provisioning, and we were able to get a server up and running in an hour."
"The Oracle Java Cloud Service has enabled our developers to focus on what they do best: developing modern Java applications."
"Developers deploy their builds and if we need to scale the environment we can do it quickly."
"The automated features of auto-purging in 12c helps clear disk space on a routine basis."
"One key feature is getting to choose the Virtual Machine configurations while setting up the server, which is an automated process."
 

Cons

"There are numerous use cases, and the setup varies from complicated to very simple in some cases."
"Faster API response times and an improved console experience would be better. Enhanced performance across APIs and the console would streamline our workflows."
"We like everything about the solution except for the general price."
"We had some problems with bandwidth because of high usage."
"If Amazon AWS can offer more self-paced learning tools, on their website, on CBT, it'll be easier for more people to familiarize themselves with their service. Especially when they are delivering new services from time to time. Educational tools that can help users familiarize themselves with their service. It would be great."
"There should be improvement in terms of creating databases of varying sizes which would provide flexibility."
"There are numerous use cases, and the setup varies from complicated to very simple in some cases."
"There was some new learning in terms of IOPS on the EBS storage. The concept of burstable IOPS was new and we did have a few outages when we ran out of IOPS."
"The security part of the tool is not so strong, making it an area I would like to see improved in the solution."
"So far, the only issue I have is with the storage cloud."
"I think there should be improvement with the speed and it should offer a more diverse selection of the suites that I can use."
"Needs better integration with other Oracle/non-Oracle products."
"There are issues with the application's development, including small glitches and errors."
"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. 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."
"Customer service could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 different pricing models for each suite of services."
"AWS is scalable depending on your needs so pricing is dependant on what you use."
"AWS is expensive and the cost should be reduced."
"The solution should improve the pricing."
"We are currently paying for the solution on an annual basis."
"The price is quite good; it is a pay-as-you-go option."
"The cost is on a monthly basis."
"It is somewhat expensive."
"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."
"Oracle Java Cloud Service is an expensive product."
