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.

A scalable and stable solution that has good scalability and is easy to setup
It is a scalable solution. I have yet to have a scenario regarding automatic scale and if there's an increase in resource requirement or need. We have yet to have that scenario. We have yet to test that. The scalability was more than manually adjusting and increasing whatever I had to do. I rate it eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Amazon AWS contains a lot of helpful services."
"So far, so good, it has met every challenge we have provided, it has worked, never failed, we have never experienced any kind of downtime, and we are very happy so far."
"What I liked most about Amazon AWS are its services and infrastructure, as it's a very user-friendly platform with servers that are more reliable than others."
"Support is really good."
"I value the automation and the stability of this product."
"Not really, I fell in love with AWS right away: their services, quality and quantity of documentation."
"The features with Amazon AWS that I have found most valuable are its flexibility and high availability. These are the most important and attractive points for me."
"Everything is good in this solution."
"The technical support is extremely helpful, and they have a very good support team."
"The advanced level of production-ready Docker hosting, one-click application deployment, and the truly flexible pricing."
"The solution is scalable, and that is what we are looking at. There is no learning curve as we have not done much research."
"Technical support from Jelastic is very good."
"The dynamic vertical scaling is a unique feature."
"The control is valuable. It's really easy to use and you have good control of your solutions."
"We almost don't have to maintain our servers."
"If you are looking for a great PaaS product, don't hesitate to check Jelastic!"
 

Cons

"Could be more user friendly and include additional applications."
"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. That kind of service would be great on AWS too if you could point it to the data center."
"I'd like to see AWS implement consolidated billing for businesses operating under one group."
"Amazon AWS could be improved with cheaper licensing costs."
"What I would like to improve about Amazon AWS is the pricing, which is quite expensive for us, and we would definitely try to lower our spending because we are using quite a lot of our budget on Amazon AWS."
"The problem with AWS is you have to keep up with the technology."
"I have been using Amazon AWS for approximately one year."
"AWS should provide even more support and engagement to accelerate the adoption of new services and features."
"The backup features need improvement, or rather it should be added, as I could not find it."
"I would like to see better integration into enterprise storage products."
"An S3 like storage system, if they have a s3 API compatible system I can move my files from AWS."
"For now, some customers are requesting support of Docker containers for Windows."
"The backup functionality needs to be improved."
"The security layers also need to be improved because there is no clear layer or tier of security in the solution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool’s pricing is reasonable."
"One of the best thing in Amazon AWS is you are billed for the service you use."
"The Oracle licensing is higher than it is with Amazon AWS."
"When we shifted the load to AWS we paid a high cost as the mail stores were hosted on EBS. The storage cost drastically reduced after moving to S3."
"Licensing is on a yearly basis. I believe we are satisfied with the current pricing. Otherwise, we would have switched to another vendor."
"In comparison to Google Cloud Platform and Microsoft Azure, the database offered by Amazon AWS is relatively expensive. However, the database also offers rich features."
"The pricing is reasonable. It's not expensive, nor will it be cheap, but the free credits initially given provide leverage for new companies to start their businesses."
"When you compare Amazon AWS to Microsoft Azure, the pricing of both is almost the same. There are some instances when one is cheaper than the other in one area but it is difficult to pinpoint which one is cheaper because it depends upon a lot of factors, such as the use case. However, the overall price of both solutions could be reduced."
"I would rate the cost 3 out of 5. There are additional costs other than licensing fees."
"Pricing for providers is revenue-shared based. Providers should invest in hardware to set up the Jelastic cluster."
