Amazon AWS Reviews

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.

We use Amazon AWS for our development and testing solutions.

I think Amazon AWS is easy to use, and it's a good service. I also like Amazon EKS because it's good.

Like anything, Amazon AWS has room for improvement, but it's not bad.

We have been using Amazon AWS for about three or four years.

Amazon AWS is a stable solution.

Amazon AWS is a scalable solution. It was one of the important topics of discussion in our evaluation.

Their technical support is good, very friendly, and provides us with a solution.

I think the initial setup is easy, but you have to invest some time and learn how to do it before setting it up for the first time. It's pretty easy for a new user to set up.

I would tell potential users to create a plan. It's very important to have a plan, especially if it's your first time. This is because different solutions and levels are charged separately with separate bills.

On a scale from one to ten, I would give Amazon AWS a nine.

Web developers use the solution for application building, modernization, cloud transformation, new development, and budget solutions. It has a wide variety of use cases.

The solution is very easy to use.

The product is nice and stable. Its performance is great.

The technical support has been good.

The solution could offer better integration capabilities.

The pricing is a bit high. It's an aspect they could improve upon.

I don't use it in my current organization. I used to use it in my earlier organization. In fact, I don't really use it, however, we used to consult on it. I've been a consultant for about a year or so.

The product is stable. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable. The performance is great.

At my organization, there are around 100 users on the solution.

Technical support has been good. I have not heard of any customer complaints. It's my understanding that they are helpful and responsive and users are satisfied with their level of service.

I was not a part of the installation process. I cannot speak to how easy or difficult the implementation was. I have no visibility on that aspect. I'm not sure what the makeup of the technical team was or how many people were used to deploy it.

The price of the solution can get expensive. They could work to lower it for their clients.

Those that use the licensing do need to pay a fee. It can be paid on a yearly or monthly basis.

I've worked as a consultant. 

We've been quite pleased with its capabilities. I'd rate it at a nine out of ten.

I'd recommend the product to other users or companies. 

I primarily used the solution more for a POC. The solution was primarily used for data lakes. However, my use case is more focused on getting the IDs up and running.

The dashboard is very good.

The solution in general is user-friendly and easy to navigate.

The product as a whole is very intuitive.

The initial setup was quite easy.

The product is reliable and quite stable.

The solution is fine for static hosting.

I cannot recall coming across any issues or any missing features. 

There are some other issues I see, but that was more on the security side, not on EC2. That's more of a technical thing. I was not able to get it up and running, however, that was a different issue altogether. It was more due to my understanding of the solution.

I want to use AWS as a full solution for my website - for domain and website hosting, and everything in between - however, I was not able to find everything together. They should work to make it an easy all-in-one end-to-end solution.

The product is a bit costly.

I've used the solution a bit, however, my specific experience is not up to date. My usage is not on the production side.

The stability is very good. There are no bugs or glitches and it doesn't crash or freeze. The performance is good and overall, the entire solution is reliable. 

We haven't attempted to scale the solution yet, as we are still at the POC phase. However, ultimately, that is the plan and it is my understanding that it will scale well.

We've yet to contact technical support. I can't speak to how helpful or responsive they would be.

The initial setup, in the end, was pretty straightforward.

The solution can get to be expensive.

We are using different services. We are using Alexa, for example, and static hosting. We do have a corporate account, however, we're not using a lot of services on it.

I'm not sure which version of the solution we are using.

We don't have a dedicated private cloud and therefore use a public cloud.

I'd recommend the solution to others. Overall, we enjoy using it. 

I'd rate the solution at a seven out of ten.

We mainly use AWS, EC2, and RDS. We also use the BI tools and the data warehouse.

The most important feature is deploying our production in multi-data regions around the world.

I think the price can be improved. The price is high now, and Amazon's web portal can be improved.

We have been using Amazon AWS for about four years.

Amazon AWS is a stable solution.

It's scalable now that EC2 can support scaling.

The initial setup is straightforward, and we deploy our production every week.

The price can be better. 

On a scale from one to ten, I would give Amazon AWS a five.

I use this product for hosting business applications like SAP on the AWS infrastructure. We have some new customers in Egypt and out of Egypt. This solution is magnificent. 

In our company, Amazon provides us with a lot of help like training for our staff. They always support us with any service or any solution. The security updates is perfect. and also supports for customers.

There are many benefits to AWS. For our customers, it optimizes their TCO. In terms of  computing, they can scale up and out. 

There's not specific things for improvement but that being said, they can improve the overall process and features of the product and to enhancement the stability.

It's stable enough. In terms of actual numbers, it's 99.99% stable.

Scalability is really perfect. I can make any scale anytime, whether I scale out or scale up.

Their technical support is really good. I am very satisfied.

Amazon is the leader in the public cloud categories, it has the largest market shares. I ask our customers why they're not using it. 

I would rate this solution a 9.5 out of ten. It's the leader in the public cloud and a leader in the market. 

I would recommend it to any customer using another solution. I would offer it as an alternative to another similar solution like IBM, Google and Azure.

Our system is conceptually very simple. We organized the network to grow. The most valuable resource is the elastic feature which allows us to not worry about rising or declining demand.

We never assumed we would implement our system outside the cloud. AWS has several features available that we still have to try. The improvement is going to be done step by step, including each feature, one at a time.

AWS is in the right measure for now.

However, I was a bit disappointed with the AWS representative for Brazil. I invited him to talk about some strategic agreement to improve the cloud environment in my other work.

I was thinking of taking AWS to the top of the rankings in the Masters program. He dismissed the invitation and told me that AWS was undergoing restructuring and maybe he could talk to me sometime in the future. This happened almost a year ago.

Amazon and KickSIM made an agreement, so the startup could use the AWS cloud for a year, up to 3/2015. After that, KickSIM also experienced use of three additional cloud environments and then came back to AWS in January, 2017.

We did not encounter any issues with stability.

We did not encounter any issues with scalability.

All our needs were met by researching the documentation. AWS offers stable resources and abundant documentation. There is no reason to use the technical support frequently.

We did not switch yet. We maintain some minor operations on two other clouds.

The setup was straightforward and the infrastructure is running well.

The way AWS assigns prices is fully understandable and very transparent. Users are free to choose exactly what they need. They receive accordingly and there is no pain at devolution. It is all done by themselves.

We did not evaluate any alternative solutions.

Using this product has encouraged me to broaden my knowledge of the products offered by AWS.
