Kunal Das - PeerSpot reviewer
Test Engineer at Happiest Minds Technologies
Quick automation has simplified my app deployments and has let me focus on data engineering
The overall experience with AWS Elastic Beanstalk was excellent. The performance made deploying and managing my application very easy, and it was really smooth and efficient. The automatic scaling can be improved so it can handle traffic changes more smoothly. I have given a rating of nine out of ten because auto scaling works reliably and it handles traffic spikes well with minimal manual effort needed. There is a balance between simplicity and control. I have not given a ten out of ten because sometimes the scaling decision can feel slightly delayed depending on the metrics. AWS Elastic Beanstalk is powerful, but not as advantageous or granular as ECS or EKS auto-scaling. Customization is good but not fully flexible for complex architectures.
Adam Elguennioui - PeerSpot reviewer
SAP Consultant at SA&BC
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.

Quotes from Members

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 management of environments is a valuable feature."
"I would rate the overall solution a ten out of ten."
"Elastic Beanstalk, based on my experience and recommendations from friends, is a good solution."
"The feature I like most about Elastic Beanstalk is the way I do not have to do anything, just deploy my app."
"Elastic Beanstalk helps reduce system administration as it automates many tasks."
"Elastic Beanstalk simplifies deploying and managing applications."
"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 auto-backup, incremental backup and restoration features can be invaluable for management."
"Moving to Oracle Cloud has addressed some of our major concerns with having to manage the infrastructure, which needs better scalability, integrated security, and better database access."
"The solution's technical support is good."
"The automated features of auto-purging in 12c helps clear disk space on a routine basis."
"It's a very low-cost option for a business to start with."
"The product is very good, fine-tuned, and stable, and support is available 24/7 and is really fast and effective."
"It offers easy provisioning, and we were able to get a server up and running in an hour."
"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."
 

Cons

"One area where AWS Elastic Beanstalk struggles is with the complexity of deployments. As deployments become more complex, technical constraints can become a burden."
"From what I've observed, it seems AWS has ceased further development on Elastic Beanstalk."
"Logs and debugging can sometimes be cumbersome, and there could be a more seamless method to analyze application issues without relying heavily on CloudWatch, which would improve my experience."
"Elastic Beanstalk is powerful, however, it could be enhanced in areas where it abstracts infrastructure management, sometimes limiting advanced users who want granular control over resources like EC2 instances, networking, or load balancers."
"There are areas for improvement in Elastic Beanstalk, especially in the management part."
"There are areas for improvement in Elastic Beanstalk, especially in the management part. Tasks like creating load balancers and retiring versions require manual code updates, and URL changes can be time-consuming."
"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."
"I would like to see more monitors for standard edition"
"It has been built on Java technology but requires more integration with other APIs and CI tools."
"The product's high price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"There are issues with the application's development, including small glitches and errors."
"Integration with Oracle products is well-supported. The same should be provided for other products that are used in most organizations, like PeopleSoft, CA, etc."
"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."
"Customer service could be improved."
"Some of the automated platform patches broke our existing functionality and we were not notified about it."
