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.
Adam Elguennioui - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Pros

"One of the most valuable aspects is that developers can access logs directly. They can download them from the AWS console within Elastic Beanstalk."
"Elastic Beanstalk is helpful and easy to manage services, even when dealing with multiple clients."
"The feature I like most about Elastic Beanstalk is the way I do not have to do anything, just deploy my app."
"Elastic Beanstalk is very easy to use, providing infrastructure to deploy our third-party application to the cloud within 15 to 20 minutes."
"The simplicity in the speed of provisioning users is what I like best about Elastic Beanstalk."
"AWS Elastic Beanstalk helps improve my efficiency, saves time, and streamlines application hosting in the cloud."
"Elastic Beanstalk, based on my experience and recommendations from friends, is a good solution."
"Elastic Beanstalk is very easy to use, providing infrastructure to deploy our third-party application to the cloud within 15 to 20 minutes."
"The auto-backup, incremental backup and restoration features can be invaluable for management."
"Cloud has provided less maintenance."
"It is pretty easy to use."
"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."
"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."
"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 automated features of auto-purging in 12c helps clear disk space on a routine basis."
 

Cons

"The documentation needs to be clearer, particularly relating to editing JSON files before uploading applications."
"AWS Elastic Beanstalk could improve its auto-scaling feature to better detect potential AI-based attacks or misuses that could lead to unexpected costs."
"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."

"There are areas for improvement in Elastic Beanstalk, especially in the management part."
"Elastic Beanstalk can enhance its customizability further, especially in terms of deployment options."
"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."
"The security part of the tool is not so strong, making it an area I would like to see improved in the solution."
"There are issues with the application's development, including small glitches and errors."
"Needs better integration with other Oracle/non-Oracle products."
"The product's high price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
