Preconfigured containers have cut licensing costs and now save our team time with faster booting
ECS-Optimized Windows can improve by giving us new generation instances rather than the old generation's AMD chips or other older technology. It should use the new generation instances, and it should also modernize the storage and the file systems that it is using because those are very old and sometimes problematic. It should also improve or add advanced configurations to the things that we are doing so it can help us and give us more efficiency and productivity in our team. It should give us good analysis, particularly more detailed analysis, with the AWS tools because it is operated by AWS. It is cloud-based, and we are getting it from AWS, so they should also integrate it with AWS better.

Mobile access to calls and records has freed agents’ time but call logs create slowly
Working and getting advice from the Mobile Connect team and the process around it was spot-on. Ruben Opdenakker particularly was very supportive of our ad hoc requests while we were in our POV stage. He was very prompt, and I recommend Mobile Connect to anyone who's looking to implement a similar use case in their organization.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"After deploying our Windows workloads using ECS-Optimized Windows on AWS, we saw improved reliability and measurable operational efficiencies."
"ECS-Optimized Windows has positively impacted my organization because I have been using it for proof of concepts and it increases the speed of running them because I do not have to worry about creating my own image."
"ECS-Optimized Windows has significantly reduced our operational effort, which is positive for our organization."
"Our teams can scale at least 40% faster than before, accounting for waiting for it to boot and load everything."
"Working and getting advice from the Mobile Connect team and the process around it was spot-on."
"Mobile Connect has significantly improved our operational efficiency by eliminating the need for workers to switch between multiple applications."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is its ability to answer calls."
"Pricing is fair for the quality of the app and features"
 

Cons

"One problem with ECS-Optimized Windows is that the image size is quite large."
"ECS-Optimized Windows can improve by giving us new generation instances rather than the old generation's AMD chips or other older technology."
"Improvements for ECS-Optimized Windows could include faster Windows patch cycles, a lighter AMI footprint for quicker boot times, better visibility into container-level performance metrics, and improved cost optimization guidance."
"In terms of improvement, one issue is that Windows containers are heavier than Linux, which means Windows applications or containers require more resources and take longer to build up or start, and the images are heavy."
"Salesforce voice call records are not created instantly in the system."
"My only comment is that I would like more comprehensive documentation regarding the implementation process."
"The solution works well, but it is too expensive."
