Featured Reviews

Kevin-Davis - PeerSpot reviewer
Efficient deployment and management of web apps with integration into cloud services
One area where AWS Elastic Beanstalk struggles is with the complexity of deployments. As deployments become more complex, technical constraints can become a burden. This can lead to a situation where I might be better off building my own deployment mechanism. Additionally, CloudFormation controlling AWS Elastic Beanstalk in more complex environments is poorly supported, which can make management challenging.
Mustafa Kavcioglu - PeerSpot reviewer
Beneficial for compliance issues, great support; there are defects around multi-cloud management
The setup is fully automated, so there was no problem there. We have 13 users in our company who manage the system but many of our customers also use it. The users in our company our general admins, cloud admins and project admins. At the peak, there would have been a million customers throughout Turkey.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Elastic Beanstalk is very easy to use, providing infrastructure to deploy our third-party application to the cloud within 15 to 20 minutes."
"The most valuable feature of Elastic Beanstalk is its ease of use and management."
"Elastic Beanstalk is helpful and easy to manage services, even when dealing with multiple clients."
"One of the most valuable aspects is that developers can access logs directly. They can download them from the AWS console within Elastic Beanstalk."
"The management of environments is a valuable feature."
"Elastic Beanstalk simplifies deploying and managing applications."
"I find the versioning to be especially valuable on AWS Elastic Beanstalk."
"Elastic Beanstalk helps reduce system administration as it automates many tasks."
"The most valuable attribute is the platform's ability to consistently deliver high reliability."
"Our core banking process was monolithic. To address this, we transitioned to a microservices-based architecture. Leveraging Microsoft technologies, including Terminals version 23, we’ve revamped our banking operations. Not all services are microservices; some remain monolithic for simplicity. Containerization is pivotal, with OpenShift (based on Kubernetes and Docker) managing our microservices."
"The product's framework is good, it integrates well with API Connect, and the private cloud allows for use in any location."
"Excellent technical support."
"We have control of the ESXi."
 

Cons

"There are areas for improvement in Elastic Beanstalk, especially in the management part."
"From what I've observed, it seems AWS has ceased further development on Elastic Beanstalk."
"One area where AWS Elastic Beanstalk struggles is with the complexity of deployments. As deployments become more complex, technical constraints can become a burden."
"Elastic Beanstalk can enhance its customizability further, especially in terms of deployment options."
"AWS Elastic Beanstalk could improve its auto-scaling feature to better detect potential AI-based attacks or misuses that could lead to unexpected costs."
"Sometimes it is difficult to use for the first time. The automatic scaling functionality could use improvement."
"One area where AWS Elastic Beanstalk struggles is with the complexity of deployments."
"Sometimes there are issues when auto-scaling with CloudFront."
"One issue with the solution is latency because there is lag time when we connect."
"Auto-scaling and managing pod scaling in the microservices architecture, a core feature of IBM Cloud Private, can pose challenges, especially when dealing with larger volumes of traffic."
"lacking in multi-cloud management."
"The support and pricing need to improve."
"I've noticed that the satellite services layer requires some improvement compared to platforms like Azure or Microsoft. While it's in development, I believe the satellite layer has room for enhancement. Additionally, the DevOps layer could benefit from closer integrations, especially for using external applications like Jenkins."
