Amazon AWS Reviews

I used Amazon AWS for a financial company.

Amazon AWS has a good Redshift database. 

Amazon AWS is a very poor product for students and difficult find out solutions. Microsoft Azure is a better solution.

I have used Amazon AWS within the past 12 months.

I have used Microsoft Azure.

I have implemented Amazon with the Redshift database for the ETL components.

I find Amazon AWS very expensive compare to Microsoft Azure.

I have evaluated Google cloud.

I rate Amazon AWS a seven out of ten.

As the solution is cloud-based, we always use the latest version. 

We use the solution for our web platform business needs. 

We like everything about the solution except for the general price. Most of Amazon's products are quite expensive. 

We have been using Amazon AWS for five years. 

The installation is quite straightforward.

We only need a single administrator for the implementation. 

We are not happy with the general price and find most of Amazon's products to be quite expensive. 

There are 50 users making use of the solution in our organization. 

I would recommend the solution to others. 

I rate Amazon AWS as an eight out of ten.

Amazon Web Services (AWS)

We're using several Amazon products. We use Amazon AWS Compute Service, AWS Elastic Load Balancing, and a huge private VPN or a virtual private network are created out of it. We also use an API Gateway. There are several products and several services that AWS provides, and we're using them.

The compute and the elasticness of the compute is really great. Whenever there's a load, it automatically adds the servers and then reduces the servers based on the configuration. This is really wonderful, more cost-effective, and it's been really good for us.

AWS support could be better.

I have been using Amazon AWS for many years.

AWS support could be better. It could be faster and straightforward.

There's no initial setup or installation. It's all configuration.

A few of our customers pay for it yearly and monthly. Sometimes, when it's related to the data, the pricing seems to be high. It could be cheaper on a transactional basis.

We did evaluate a couple of other products like Google Cloud and  RTCloud, but our customers decided to go with AWS.

I would recommend this cloud solution to new customers.

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

Amazon Web Services (AWS)

We are using this solution for internet applications.

I have found the trusted advisor tool works well, we are using it to get some insight into the security status and the processing of the applications. Additionally, the portal for management has clear well-written documentation.

I have been using the solution for two years.

We have not had any major issue with stability, it is quite stable.

The scalability is good.

The technical support can take longer than expected sometimes. They could improve on this.

The initial installation was easy.

We did the deployment ourselves.

The price of the solution is fair compared to competitors.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Amazon AWS a seven out of ten.

We used it for hosting our ERP and databases and the applications that we develop for working with our customers. We are using a lot of Amazon AWS services. It is a mixed environment, and we have a lot of components.

The capacity to grow dynamically based on our needs is most valuable. We can increase resources dynamically. It is also very reliable and fast to implement.

Their support can be improved. In some cases, their support is not as proficient as it can be. They should be quicker at getting back.

I have been using this solution for two years.

It is stable.

It is scalable. It is very easy to scale if you need more resources. We have around 150 users of this solution in our company.

They need to be faster.

It was very easy and fast.

I would rate Amazon AWS a nine out of ten.

Private Cloud

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.

Its subscription model or pricing model is too complex, which should be improved.

I have been using this solution for three years. 

It is stable. We have not seen any issues so far.

It is scalable.

We have interacted with them. They are good, and we've not had any issues with them.

It is very easy to set up.

Its pricing model is too complex.

I would advise others to do a test before going ahead and buying it. They should look at other cloud options as well. If you are going to use mostly Microsoft products, then go with Azure. For non-Microsoft products, go with AWS.

I would rate Amazon AWS an eight out of ten.

Public Cloud

Web server hosting of a simple LAMP setup using Linux, Apache, and MySQL. Quick, cheap proof of concept solutions. 

No need for an on-premise infrastructure. It provides immediate access to vast resources at a relatively low cost and allows for setting up cheap PoCs.

For testing, it is a cheap alternative to having to build your own labs.  Provisioning and resource administration include billing dashboards, which are very extensive.

Not enough experience to really comment on this. 

In some areas, more transparency on what is persistent towards novice users. 

Trial/evaluations only.

All of them in different scenarios, hard to tell.

Yes. It allows us to cheaply experiment with lots of different setups, evaluate prices and business ROI, and rollout solutions effectively.

Monitoring could be better IMHO. We currently hack together an extra monitoring piece into the puzzle for each project.

Since 2008

When the service started it had a few issues, it kept improving drastically.

Not in the past couple of years.

Not in the past couple of years.

Customer Service: Excellent.Technical Support: Excellent.

We used sporadic in-house machines, hosted services with different vendors. Reliability and ease of use were key.

There was a learning curve, starting to work with the service, too many 3 letters in the lingo. Courses and training and books and a podcast really help.

Different cost analysis of hosted services and co-locations.

Take it slow, there is a learning curve, but you get a return on your time for every hour you invest in learning to use this service.
