Amazon AWS Reviews

We are using the solution for network virtualization.

The most valuable features I have found are the Database Migration Service (DMS) for monitoring the host and routing, Route 53, and EC2 tools. The DMS is not available in any other solution that I am aware of. They have a very flexible and professional solution.

If you have not had previous training or studied guides it will be a little difficult to use the solution. However, the difficulty also depends on what you are using the solution for. They can improve by providing more documentation, such as tutorials and videos.

I have been using the solution for approximately five years.

I have found the stability very good.

The scalability is good.

The technical support has been fine in my experience.

The price of the solution is reasonable.

Amazon AWS is the most powerful tool and is at the top for cloud and for virtualization. It has many features and products. It is wonderful and I keep learning from them.

I would highly recommend this solution to others.

I rate Amazon AWS a ten out of ten.

We primarily use the solution for the infrastructure. We use it specifically for hosting the infrastructure and hosting our analytics database.

So far, the stability is the solution's most valuable aspect. It's one of its great selling features.

The performance of AWS is excellent.

The cost-effectiveness is something we appreciate. It isn't too expensive for us to leverage AWS.

The overall convenience and the ease to use could be improved. Right now, for example, we still have an integrator that helps us. They help us do the so-called hand-holding to get us started. Once we start, we can train up staff and we can manage most of the operations ourselves. It's just that first little bit that's difficult to handle alone.

We've been using the solution for a few years at this point.

The stability of AWS is excellent. We don't have to worry about it crashing or freezing. There aren't bugs or glitches to contend with. It's reliable and we've enjoyed its stability thus far.

The scalability of the product is very, very good. It's one of the great benefits of the cloud. You don't really have to worry about hitting a wall. It can expand pretty well as much as you need it to.

We have about 30 or so people on the solution right now. They are mostly our analytical team and some business users.

We have plans to continue usage and we may also increase usage in the future.

Our team has used technical support in the past. I haven't myself, personally, however, my team called them for technical questions. We tend to use either AWS or our system integrator when it comes to answering some troubleshooting issues.

The support could be better. It's my understanding that they need to take some sort of certification, and that there is a bit of a learning curve. They're not bad, however, as I mentioned, they could be more proficient. While some seem to be certified, others need to polish their skillsets.

We did use another solution previously. We used Horizon before. We also use some other data pipeline, however, they were more of a niche market cloud provider, unlike Amazon, which is more widespread and has a broader scope.

We are using it on the cloud basis. We don't have any integration on-premises. We found the installation, in that sense, somewhat easy, although there were some moving parts that we still needed a bit of help with. 

We had an integrator help us a bit. They did some hand-holding to make sure everything got up and running properly.

The pricing of the solution is quite good. It's very reasonable and very affordable.

That said, I don't deal with billing and licensing directly and therefore don't have the exact numbers in relation to how much we pay.

We're using the latest version of the solution. The cloud is instantaneously upgrading us to the latest version.

I'd recommend the solution to other organizations. We've been pretty happy with the product so far.

Overall, I would rate it at an eight out of ten. If it offered better support and had a more user-friendly setup I'd likely rate it higher.

We have been using AWS for our own product. We are not direct users. Rather, our customers are using our product, which is hosted on AWS.

The cost should be reduced.

They should have a better big data stack.

We have been dealing with Amazon AWS for the last six years.

This product is stable and we plan to continue selling it in the future. All of our products are tightly integrated with AWS.

AWS is a scalable platform.

The technical support is good.

There is no installation for AWS, as it is a cloud product.

AWS is expensive and the cost should be reduced.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

Our primary use case is a corporate web page with e-payment eCommerce and personalized functions for digital marketing and other functions.  

Rapid implementation using tools that I specifically know: Python Django Mezzanine and several other libraries are compatible with these technologies.

IaaS with easy management, but training is required in a more personalized way. There should be required free training from the vendor and more personalized.

More complete, specific training for many of the technologies, specifically with Python Django and the CMS (Mezzanine).

This solution is a good option if you are looking for cloud-based storage. Using a cloud-based solution, you can start with a basic version and scale up as needed. 

It is possible to scale up the server capacity on demand. That is a big advantage as far as a cloud system is concerned. Backup of the systems can be done easily and can be automated. There are automation tools within this solution that help us manage deployment.  

This solution could offer more security. 

We have used this solution for five years.

This is a scalable solution. 

The initial setup was straightforward. 

We would recommend Amazon Web Services to someone who is looking for a global rollout or deployment.

I would rate this solution a seven out of ten. 

I'm currently using AWS to create two environments with the EC2 instance. I have one environment for staging and developing processes and another environment for production.

I like ETL, the EC2 platform, and Route 53. These features are a great complement to the basic infrastructure of any company. The AWS platform has many features, but the fundamental cloud infrastructure is the most important.

I've used AWS for around two years.

AWS is reliable. I've seen around 10 issues in the whole time I've been using it, so I think that is highly stable.

AWS is a cloud platform, so it's inherently scalable.

The cloud platform can have problems, but AWS has a good SLA. If a region has problems, Amazon will fix the issue, so the customer never knows. 

Deploying AWS is complex in the beginning. It becomes more intuitive once you have a solid grasp of the fundamentals. However, a person with no AWS experience might find it overwhelming at first. Total deployment took around two weeks.

I rate AWS nine out of 10. It's a complete solution. If Amazon added any more features, that would just be a pleasant surprise for me because AWS perfectly fits the needs of my current job.

We use Amazon AWS for the services they provide.

Amazon AWS has good performance and easy management.

I have been using Amazon AWS for approximately one year.

The stability could improve.

We have two technicians using this solution in my organization.

The installation is easy.

I did the installation myself.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Amazon AWS a nine out of ten.

We have migrated on-premises infrastructure for a customer to the AWS cloud with different workloads, such as Windows, Linux, Oracle, and SQL Server. It is a public and hybrid cloud deployment.

It has several valuable features, but the load balancer, auto-scaling, and RDS database are the main ones. It is a complete cloud infrastructure solution.

In terms of technical features, I don't see anything missing. The only two points in favor of other providers are the price and local support.

The main problem that we see here in Brazil is the price. It is much more expensive than any other cloud provider.

Their local support can also be better. We get more support from some of the other providers here in Brazil as compared to AWS.

It is very stable. There are no problems with its stability.

Its scalability is perfect and great. We have around 300 users.

Their technical support is okay, but it can be better. This is something for which there is room for improvement. We get more support from some of the other providers as compared to AWS.

It had medium complexity. It was not too complex, but it is never simple to migrate to the cloud. It took three months. 

Several people were involved in its deployment. We had 13 people in total. There were about eight people from our side and maybe five people from the customer side.

It is much more expensive than any other cloud provider.

I would rate Amazon AWS a nine out of ten.
