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.
Miguel Maloney Thompson - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"Elastic Beanstalk is very easy to use, providing infrastructure to deploy our third-party application to the cloud within 15 to 20 minutes."
"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 feature I like most about Elastic Beanstalk is the way I do not have to do anything, just deploy my app."
"I highly recommend it to others and frequently discuss it with customers."
"Elastic Beanstalk, based on my experience and recommendations from friends, is a good solution."
"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."
"Technical support from Jelastic is very good."
"The control is valuable. It's really easy to use and you have good control of your solutions."
"The solution is scalable, and that is what we are looking at. There is no learning curve as we have not done much research."
"The advanced level of production-ready Docker hosting, one-click application deployment, and the truly flexible pricing."
"The dynamic vertical scaling is a unique feature."
 

Cons

"The automatic scaling functionality could use improvement."
"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."
"AWS Elastic Beanstalk could improve its auto-scaling feature to better detect potential AI-based attacks or misuses that could lead to unexpected costs."
"The documentation needs to be clearer, particularly relating to editing JSON files before uploading applications."
"There are areas for improvement in Elastic Beanstalk, especially in the management part."
"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."
"Elastic Beanstalk can enhance its customizability further, especially in terms of deployment options."
"The security layers also need to be improved because there is no clear layer or tier of security in the solution."
"For now, some customers are requesting support of Docker containers for Windows."
"The backup functionality needs to be improved."
"The backup features need improvement, or rather it should be added, as I could not find it."
"Lacks better integration into enterprise storage products."
