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.

Integrated hiring and learning have transformed staffing accuracy and accelerated career growth
TalentEdge is a global HR EdTech platform and running really well, but I feel that there are our Centers of Excellence and small and mid-sized organizations which are not very plump in terms of business and in terms of average business revenue every year. I would definitely request them to go ahead with some generous discounting for small and mid-sized EdTech companies so that all our vendors and partners can also utilize the services. Additionally, our system requires a lot of customization very frequently. I also believe that if more business teams can come together and discuss our ideas and bring some customizable features for us, it will create a booming relationship for both of us. We develop people and organizations, and when these two meet together, organizations grow. That is the idea I really believe in. There are a few improvements that we would definitely like to have. We would definitely like to have the mobile experience. Right now, whatever subscription we have taken is of desktop version only. If a mobile version can also be introduced, that would be a great help. Additionally, I would request their tech team to timely organize webinars, orientations, and workshop sessions for newer people and newer organizations who may take a bit longer time for understanding and navigating the entire system. Rest everything is great and the system is working in a very fast way. There is no lag. The system is working great.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"Our teams can scale at least 40% faster than before, accounting for waiting for it to boot and load everything."
"After deploying our Windows workloads using ECS-Optimized Windows on AWS, we saw improved reliability and measurable operational efficiencies."
"Overall, we have been able to generate a profit of approximately 30 to 40 percent over the past five years."
"In conclusion, TalentEdge has become one of the most optimal recruitment platforms, offering significant cost optimization and enhancing candidate experience through advanced hiring and learning management system capabilities."
"Overall, this is a great efficient product that has led to a very focused approach in terms of managing teams."
"There have been many visible and invisible benefits that we see after introducing TalentEdge, with our placement percentage jumping from 50% to 80%, project timelines shrinking from 15 months to six to eight months, around 30% savings on expenses, and a 20% enhancement in productivity, all while making employees happier and reducing errors through automated, transparent processes."
"The features, the proficiency, and the efficiency coming in the entire HR system and processing are phenomenal."
 

Cons

"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."
"ECS-Optimized Windows can improve by giving us new generation instances rather than the old generation's AMD chips or other older technology."
"One problem with ECS-Optimized Windows is that the image size is quite large."
"While every experience has been great, there are occasional delays in ticket resolution when the system slows down, particularly over weekends; minimizing these operational lags would elevate TalentEdge further."
"I would definitely request them to go ahead with some generous discounting for small and mid-sized EdTech companies so that all our vendors and partners can also utilize the services."
"Currently, we are experiencing somewhat laggard communication regarding overall development, but many advancements have already been witnessed that could provide significant momentum to our development activity."
"We need more training sessions from TalentEdge team, and extended training every three months would be beneficial, as many functionalities are frequently updated, leaving our team unaware of newer features."
"There are definitely a few improvement areas that are currently giving us challenges."
