Amazon AWS Reviews

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.

My primary use case of Amazon AWS is doing my Mac backup. 

The most valuable features are how stable and easy to use Amazon AWS is. 

Amazon AWS could be improved by lowering the general storage price. 

I have been using Amazon AWS for a couple of years. 

This solution is stable. 

I didn't previously use a different solution. 

This solution is easy to install. It's quite straightforward since it's cloud-based. It took half an hour at most. 

I implemented this solution myself. 

I pay for a yearly license to use this product. 

I rate this solution a 10 out of 10. I would recommend it to others who are considering implementation.

We pay for Amazon AWS annually.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Amazon AWS an eight out of ten.

Public Cloud

This solution can be used to set up a cloud infrastructure and DevOps practices, such as Agile. It can be on-premises or in the cloud.

AWS has many integrations and plenty of tools available for anyone to take advantage of. There are new features being added all the time.

The solution could have better security and more integration with other platforms.

I have been using this solution for approximately eight years.

I have found the stability very good.

This solution is scalable.

I have previously used Microsoft Azure DevOps and we prefer Amazon AWS.

We are currently paying for the solution on an annual basis.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Amazon AWS a nine out of ten.

Hybrid Cloud

We are a hospital system provider. We use the solution in order to provide provisions to the hospital. The client didn't want to host on-premises, and therefore we are using this product.

If there are issues, I come and check on them, however, I rarely use the solution, which suggests it's pretty problem-free. It works pretty seamlessly.

The initial setup is very straightforward and I didn't have any issues with configuring the solution.

The solution can scale quite well.

Technical support is pretty decent so far.

The pricing of the solution could be better. It's a little pricey.

I've been working with the solution for the past two years or so.

I haven't seen anything that would make me assume that solution can't scale as much as you need it to. It seems to be pretty scalable. There are no limitations.

I've found the technical support to be pretty decent overall. You do need to give them some time, however, largely we are satisfied with their level of helpfulness.

I am not extensively using the solution and I didn't do any work on the AWS; there's a DevOps team who will do the configuration.

That said, it's very straightforward. I didn't face any complexity in configuring AWS, for example.

As integrators, we can implement the solution for our clients.

It would be ideal if the solution cost the customer less. It's expensive right now.

We're integrators and service providers. We offer services to our clients.

We use a private VPN for the solution.

I'd recommend the solution to other organizations, so long as the company doesn't care about the pricing.

I would rate the solution eight out of ten, simply due to the fact that the cost is high. They lose points there.

750 hours of Amazon EC2 Linux t2.micro instance usage (1 GiB of memory and 32-bit and 64-bit platform support) -- It's enough hours to run continuously each month.

It gives us the time to check.

Charges are high at the moment.
