"They provide cutting-edge features compared to other cloud vendors."
"Amazon AWS has a good Redshift database."
"The installation process is very simple."

"Amazon AWS has good performance and easy management."
"It is quite easy to provision new virtual services for our use. The procedures are quite straightforward and simple as compared to other competitors, such as Microsoft or Huawei. This is what we are happy about with Amazon AWS. It is pretty mature in terms of the availability of most of the infrastructure components. If you want to deploy a server on your platform, everything is already there in terms of the operating system, network components, securities, and data encryption. It is also quite scalable and stable."

"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."
"There is a bit of a learning curve. That said, it's likely no different than learning any other cloud."
"Some features may be better in Azure or some other portal. AWS could add some of those features."
"Its only cons are on the data warehouse side. AWS' data warehouse Redshift is not as good as it should be."
"The problem with AWS is you have to keep up with the technology. If you don't stay up to date with the technology and its latest changes then you won't know what to use in your infrastructure."
"AWS is very expensive."
"As a result of the competency, I believe that most people are now leaning toward Azure rather than AWS."
"In person, when the development happens, we were told that it's flexible and customizable. However, sometimes, it's challenging to customize."
"When they innovate too fast, they end up confusing their customers."
"Shows errors without providing any analysis."
"I'd like to see more local integration."
"Lacks flexibility in its licensing structure."
"When I started looking at the client's IT architecture, I started by doing a study of their services, DVM, data volume, and management services. According to the results, they could be a lot better at this."
"While it was good for a small entity, it was not ideal for a large enterprise."
"I can’t speak to features that may be missing."
