The ease of use is the solution's most valuable aspect for us at this point.
You can manage everything from the console, which is very convenient.
The high level of technology of the database services being served to the customers is impressive.
The security is excellent. We feel very protected by the solution.
The solution is very easy to set up.
The product is highly scalable.
There is very good documentation available to users for troubleshooting, et cetera.
From a technology standpoint, the solution is almost perfect. We don't feel that anything is lacking in that sense.
The feedback we are getting from our customers, especially here in Turkey where the exchange rate fluctuates regularly, is that the solution is quite expensive. Other cloud competitors are less costly. From our country's point of view, I would say that it needs to be cheaper.
When the solution faces downtime, it can be for hours or half a day. This is far too long.
I would say that I started using AWS around 2017.
The solution is stable. That said, there are some instances that some of the services in some of the regions might go down. The downtime sometimes will last longer than you expected. We expect that occasionally the downtime maybe a few minutes or half an hour. That's not always the case. Sometimes it can be hours. Sometimes it can even be half a day. For us, the downtime is a problem.
The solution is highly scalable. You can create thousands of servers in minutes or something like that, so it's very scalable. If a company needs to expand, it can do so with ease using this solution.
The types of businesses we typically deal with are rather small.
I haven't used technical support. I haven't yet had a need to. Therefore, I can't discuss anything in regards to their helpfulness or knowledgeability. That speaks to how good their product has been overall.
That said, if you run into problems, most of the issues that you are having in terms of technical difficulties can be solved within the documentation.
The solution is very easy to install. If you start short-term with the database services, and if you then get the Web Services, it's very easy. A company shouldn't have any trouble setting everything up. It's not complex.
I tend to manage the solution for my clients once it is installed.
Due to currency fluctuations in Turkey, we find the product to be on the more expensive side. There are other, cheaper options on the market.
I'm a consultant. If the customer wants an AWS solution or AWS consultancy, I give these services to them. If they want some local provider, I also work with them.
We are using the latest version of the solution.
Most of my clients don't know the technology and don't want to get into deep technical knowledge in terms of the solution itself. They don't want to manage AWS. They just want to let someone manage their infrastructure and AWS services for them. There aren't too many large companies dealing with AWS on a massive scale in Turkey. I don't really deal with larger entities anyway.
So long as an organization's focus is not on pricing, I would recommend the solution.
In general, I would rate the solution at an eight out of ten.
