Amazon AWS Reviews

We are primarily using the solution for evaluation purposes.

The functionality and the UI are both very straightforward.

The initial setup is straightforward.

The stability is good.

Technical support is quick to assist.

The pricing could be better. It's a bit expensive. 

The availability could be better.

I've been using the solution for about two years.

I haven't had any issues that would bring stability into question. there are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. 

I can't speak to the scaling. It's not something I've attempted. I just use it myself.

I can't say that there are plans to increase usage right now. 

Technical support has been great. They are helpful and responsive. They are very fast.

This is my first cloud product. I did not use something previously.

The initial implementation process is not difficult or complex. It's straightforward. It's basically having the computing power, the storage, S3, and the database.

The implementation was handled in-house. We did not use an external integrator, reseller, or consultant.

It's a costly product.

We pay a monthly licensing fee. It's below $100 a month.

I haven't done any evaluations or comparisons with other products.

We are customers.

We are using the latest version of the solution.

I'd rate the solution at an eight out of ten.

We use Amazon AWS as a data platform.

The features that I have found most valuable are its cloud storage and compute services.

Amazon AWS could improve on its data warehousing appliance.

Its only cons are on the data warehouse side. AWS' data warehouse Redshift is not as good as it should be.

In terms of what should be in the next release, I would say nothing much other than that AWS has a lot of services doing similar work. If they could consolidate and make sure that the services are defined appropriately, that would be an improvement. Currently, there is a duplicacy of work.

I'm working with AWS for almost five years.

The stability is very good.

You do not need tons of people for maintenance, because a lot of automation will be brought in by AWS, and you can have one or two people to manage the platform.

Amazon AWS' scalability is very good.

There are a lot of features that require scaling - the scale up and scale down aspects of load balancer, Spot Instances, On-Demand Instances, and all those things. You can configure your limits, and based on that, the computer infrastructure can be scaled up.

There are tons of users using it. Whatever the project I work on, there are almost 200 users using it.

There are lot of data engineers, data scientists, and business users using it.

Customer and technical support are very good.

The initial setup is straightforward.

The licensing costs are all similar. All charges are similar in nature, such as storage cost, compute cost, VM cost, or VP costs, and all those things. Two advantages on this point here are whether you take Spot Instances or if you reserve for long term usage, then you'll get a lot of benefit.

If you want to use any third party services you have to pay from the Marketplace, but the other things are all pay-as-you-go kind of a model.

Amazon has a great customer base and lot of success stories. That is one advantage that AWS has, whereas the others are catching up. Recently they have more case studies, but for overall breadth of the industry and breadth of the customer experiences, AWS has more customers. AWS has more services than the other competitors.

My advice to anyone thinking about using Amazon AWS is that they need to set up the foundation well, and they need to choose the right partner to do the implementation. The more experience the partner has, the better the implementation will be.

On a scale of one to ten, I would give Amazon AWS an eight.

AWS is easy to manage.

Some features may be better in Azure or some other portal. AWS could add some of those features.

I've been using AWS for three to four years.

So far, I've had no issues with stability or scalability.

AWS was already installed when I started working at this company, so I don't know.

I rate Amazon AWS eight out of 10.

We need to do the ticket exchange with external customers for the ITSM domain. There is an exchange of the service requests between our customer and our company.

It is enough for us in terms of features. We don't have too many transactions, and it is sufficient for our current needs.

Our API Management solution is integrated with Lambda, and last year, we had an issue while upgrading Lambda from version 8.0 to version 10. It seemed like Lambda runtime was changed by AWS, and there was a bug that caused the downtime.

The loading of the dashboard is slow. It could be because I am located in China.

I have been using this solution for about two years.

It is reliable. We had a downtime only once. The issue was not with the production environment. It was with the lower environment.

There are a lot of people who are using this solution in our organization. There are not many transactions between the customers and our internal system, and we don't have a high workload.

I had contacted them for another solution, and they got back just in a day.

It was easy for us.

It is subscription-based, and we are happy with its pricing.

I would recommend this solution to others. I would rate Amazon AWS an eight out of ten.

We use Amazon AWS for cloud deployment of Automation Anywhere tool.

It should be more secure and have more integrations. 

I used Amazon AWS for about three months.

It is stable. For the cloud version, we require some installation platforms and we don't have a server with us right now. We require it from Amazon AWS. We can just plan and get the AWS server.

It's scalable.

We have one contact person for our organisation. Through him, we gave him our requirements, and he arranged all those things about AWS for our installation. We gave him the details of the quantity of RAM & hard disks, and our expectations.

It's perfect to use.

We are a solution provider and we use this solution to host applications for our customers. Their use cases are related to legal and advisory matters.

The most valuable features are load balancers, databases, and S3 buckets.

I have found some problems related to the database.

The price of this solution could be reduced to make it more competitive.

There are some limitations for certain applications that happen regionally and it is an issue for us. If we work with an application that is set up in New York, for example, then it has to be able to work in Pakistan.

I have been using Amazon AWS for between six and eight months.

We have not experienced any issues in terms of stability.

Scalability is not a problem. We are currently extending our use of Amazon AWS and have acquired a partnership with them. With this, we are creating a cloud department for which we will offer Amazon Web Services.

I did not have to call technical support.

Our deployment took between five and ten months.

I find that Amazon AWS is expensive.

I recently evaluated the Oracle Cloud Platform, and I find that Amazon is more expensive.

My advice to anybody who is researching AWS is to consider their budget. If the budget is available then it is a good choice, whereas, for those who want to spend less, I would suggest using Oracle instead.

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).

The valuable features for us are scalability and flexibility.

Regarding scalability, we have specific days of the week that the traffic in our system exceeds more than twice the load system. So with the scalability, I can support this load. If I need to perform a specific marketing action, my system will respond to the request easily.

Before AWS, the time for availability of a new server would be more than a week, and currently, it can be measured in minutes.

Failover also wasn’t easy to configure and wasn’t safe.

It has helped our engineers to improve our performance both financially and in terms of traffic generated.

I see some applications, like AWS Deploy for example, require usage of other applications. This and other issues should be better explained in the documentation.

We have been using the solution since May 2012.

In the beginning, during the implementation, we had problems with stability, especially in S3.

We did not encounter any issues with scalability.

We don’t pay for professional support. However, the support forum helps us with most problems.

For cloud solutions, during our research, we searched the best quality service inside our budget.

The setup was very straightforward.

Unfortunately, the price is high. The pricing and licensing is explained well in the documentation.

We evaluated other options, including Rackspace, Google Cloud, MS Azure, etc.

Pay attention especially to costs.
