Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable features are the usability and customer service.""The initial setup is pretty easy.""We use Amazon Lightsail for hosting security components in-house and AI modules.""In Lightsail, they simplified to do it in as few clicks as possible. So, around ten clicks, I have a virtual machine deployed."

More Amazon Lightsail Pros →

"The framework supports auto-configuration. A lot of features are already there. It is reliable and user-friendly to develop code, back-end engineering, or locate specific information such as addresses.""The auto-backup, incremental backup and restoration features can be invaluable for management.""The solution's technical support is good.""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.""Self-provisioning, easy to choose from WebLogic 11g to 12c.""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.""Cloud has provided less maintenance."

Cons
"When you need to add some custom rules to Amazon Lightsail, the auto scaling feature is a bit difficult.""I don't see this solution as enterprise-ready, for bigger companies like banks.""To improve, I feel the disk management is too basic. I can't easily partition the disk for the operating system. I have to follow the main configuration that is already set up in the template. To partition the disk, I would need to deploy the operating system first and then make changes, but it's not an ideal method. I would recommend improving the disk management.""Currently, there is limited support available while installing or configuring it, and resources are primarily available through community-contributed articles."

More Amazon Lightsail Cons →

"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.""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."
