One area that needs improvement is the cost of the ports, which is a concern as these charges are quite high. It is primarily a budget issue because while the solution is effective, the port costs can deter organizations from adopting it. Similarly, although AWS, Azure, and Google have slight differences in pricing, high port costs are a common issue. Scalability beyond 10 gigabits is more expensive since AWS does not offer hosted connections over this limit; it only provides direct connections, which affects scalability and related costs.
It is working fine for us as it is. AI is the icon in the future, so they need to provide more information for us. For us, it is a new concept, and we will try to use it for our vertical industry in ready-mix concrete.

AWS Direct Connect should support cross-cloud connections, such as migrations between Azure ( /products/microsoft-azure-reviews ) and AWS ( /products/amazon-aws-reviews ), for disaster recovery purposes on different cloud platforms. While other third-party tools can perform these tasks for free, using tools from the same cloud platform is preferred for organizations prioritizing data security.
AWS Direct Connect is straightforward and performs well for me. However, having more locations could improve the convenience of using the service. I currently connect through Equinix, but more data center locations would be beneficial.

I would like to see better traffic visibility and higher throughput security, especially for organizations that require more than what the current limit allows.

It is complicated to do additional BGP configuration for the product. It is not a well-promoted solution. So, customers are not aware of its advantages.

We encountered issues with the connection. The VPN was not connecting on multiple occasions.

There is no room for improvement in Direct Connect right now. It meets our requirements satisfactorily.

The platform's stability needs improvement.
It would be good if we could connect AWS Direct Connect from different networks.

The solution's terminologies could be more precise. They should improve this particular area. Also, the patch upgrade process could be better.
It would be better if the setup and configuration of credentials were easier.
