Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"AWS is known for its scalable cloud hosting and computing services. We use various features depending on our needs, including endpoint services, database instances, and EC2 instances.""The cloud storage based on S3 is one the most valuable services we have deployed since it allows us infinite scale in storage and extremely high durability.""Amazon AWS has a good Redshift database.""It is very easy to set up. It is also easy to use. It has a lot of services and integrations. We've been able to integrate whatever we need until now.""The installation is quite straightforward.""The most valuable feature of the solution is that they offer everything around in just one platform.""I think Amazon AWS is easy to use, and it's a good service. I also like Amazon EKS because it's good.""The ease of use is the biggest benefit."

More Amazon AWS Pros →

"The initial setup is easy.""VBS is another tool that allows users to create enterprise applications without needing to store their projects in traditional databases like SQL.""You don't need a dedicated IDE to develop. You can work from any browser, which is very convenient. And, with the cloud concept, your code is stored in the cloud, so you can modify it from anywhere, at any time.""The tool is very easy to use.""The most valuable feature was the visual drag and drop on the components."

Cons
"I think Amazon could improve some of the security or fine-grained access for metadata and many other things.""Price can always be cheaper.""The initial setup is not easy at all.""The pricing could be more competitive.""In some scenarios, Azure will support hybrid cloud better while AWS offers direct connection.""The pricing is something you have to watch. You really have to constantly optimize your costs for instances and things like that. That can become a job in itself to manage just from a budgeting standpoint.""The cost of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required.""Our use case is limited to virtual services and RPA development. We are not using it quite heavily, and there are not many issues or problems so far. However, it would be great if it could be integrated with more AI features and proactive monitoring. It could also have more automatic capacity expansion features. For example, when renting out some space, memory, or computing power, the service can have the capacity to expand by itself without being manually handled by us."

More Amazon AWS Cons →

"The tool has minor bugs.""The initial setup of Oracle VBCS can be challenging for those unfamiliar with DBS.""There was an attempt to enable front-end development, it did what it intended to do, but the side effects were too bad.""The feature called "action chains" could use a bit of enhancement.""I would improve the license structure as, for some companies, it may seem a little bit expensive, depending on what they're doing."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Be careful with your consumption, especially when you are testing things. Costs can creep up on you relatively fast, without even noticing."
  • "AWS is scalable depending on your needs so pricing is dependant on what you use."
  • "It is decently priced. The competition is also bringing its own cloud offerings, such as from Oracle."
  • "When we shifted the load to AWS we paid a high cost as the mail stores were hosted on EBS. The storage cost drastically reduced after moving to S3."
  • "If you can plan capacity for one or three years, you can use the upfront payment option which allows you to save up to 50%."
  • "One of the best thing in Amazon AWS is you are billed for the service you use."
  • "We are reducing costs year-over-year."
  • "Much faster than other solutions at a super low cost."
  • More Amazon AWS Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Oracle Visual Builder Cloud Service is much too expensive."
  • "It's not expensive when you consider what it provides: low-code/no-code development, faster development time, good quality, and good stability."

The company has one of the widest breadths of cloud services - including compute, storage, networking, databases, load balancers, applications and application development platforms all delivered as a cloud service. Amazon has dropped its prices 21 times since it debuted its cloud six years ago and fairly consistently fills whatever gaps it has in the size of virtual machine instances on its platform - the company recently rolled out new high-memory instances, for example. There are some cautions for Amazon though. Namely, its cloud has experienced three major outages in two years. One analyst, Jillian Mirandi of Technology Business Researcher, has suggested that continued outages could eventually start hindering businesses' willingness to invest in Amazon infrastructure. That sentiment gets to a larger point about AWS though - the service seems to be popular in the startup community, providing the IT… Read more →
