Amazon AWS Reviews

AWS has a wide selection of technologies for various use cases. 

The whole solution is well designed and AWS has decent documentation, which is not to be taken for granted. I've also found that AWS is easy to use.

I have been using AWS for about a year.

We have no problems with the stability. The issue we've had is that the deployment of services took a bit long in some cases. 

We haven't deployed anything where scalability was an issue so far.

Deploying AWS solutions is reasonably straightforward. Of course, with all these technologies, you have to understand their vocabulary and like the topology of the thing that they are offering. Implementing AWS IAM was a bit complex. Other than that, AWS stands out for usability.

AWS is a cloud service, so it's pay-as-you-go.  Some of the storage services could be cheaper.

I rate AWS eight out of 10. It's well designed and well documented. Overall, AWS is a good public cloud platform.  Before signing up for AWS, it's probably a good idea to think about pricing because some of their services can be obtained elsewhere for a better price.

I use Amazon AWS in a Windows environment.

I like everything about AWS, especially the reporting.

I am happy with the dashboard.

I have trouble with the AWS command-line interface.

The security could be improved.

I have been using Amazon AWS for approximately three months.

AWS is a stable solution.

I have not tried to scale when using AWS.

The initial setup is easy.

The price is good and licensing fees are paid on a monthly basis.

I would rate this solution a ten out of ten.

Our primary use case is for cloud storage.

There is less work for the DBAs. Everything is handled in AWS itself.

We don't have issues with stability or scalability.

We manage support issues, we don't depend on others for technical support.

I would rate it a seven out of ten. 

In an RDS environment, we only get the CPU utilization and this thing. The growth rate and free space increases. Getting the CPU utilization is 99% or 90% sometimes.

We don't know whether to increase server capacity or alert notifications. We don't know which hard disc to purchase or what the next recommended CPU is. There should be an indicator. We would like to have more guidance. 

Our primary use case is to use the solution for running many relatively small instances for back office applications and various other business important applications.

It did not improve our organization.

There are no particular 'features' which stand out. 

The pricing could be adjusted to provide more advantages versus current on-premise solutions for business applications.

AWS is much too expensive compared to current on-premises solution for this type of work. AWS IaaS is a very generic service, which is extremely overpriced.  

The primary use case is that we run all our IT on it. The performance has been okay so far.

With the pay-as-you-go model, we don't have to predict future IT needs. We can just scale up as we want. That helps with a lot of agility in deploying stuff in our IT infrastructure.

• It's pay-as-you-go.
• It has a breadth of solutions for databases, data mining, AI.
• They release new solutions almost every quarter and you don't get that kind of innovation from an enterprise company.

The AWS documentation is written in a way that is not very intuitive. That's an area they can improve.

Stability is really good. We have not had downtime so far.

Ours is a new company and we decided to go with AWS right from the beginning.

The most important criterion when selecting a vendor is their ability to help us get started as soon as we can. From the time we decide to deploy something to the time when the application is deployed, we look at which vendor will help us reduce that time.

The initial setup was straightforward.

I think the pricing becomes a problem as the IT organization grows. They need to give better pricing when companies grow.

We looked at all the cloud platforms. AWS had more breadth in the services they offered.

Look for what is required to deploy the apps in your particular organization. For example, if it's AI-driven then probably Google is a better cloud to go after. If there are a lot of Microsoft applications or if developers or the IT staff were trained in Microsoft software, then Microsoft Azure is a better fit.

I would rate AWS an eight out of 10 because it helps companies get started fast.

I am the leader of a team that runs cloud operations for our clients. We work with AWS on a daily basis using it for synthetic and real use monitoring. Our company is partnered with AWS.

Since AWS came a bit later to the market, they are always improving and upgrading their platform.

They do not yet have a complete solution for APM monitoring. But this, along with real user monitoring, is something that they are actively working on improving.

I have been using AWS for about a year. 

The solution is very stable.

The solution is easily scalable.

My team and I have not needed to contact support.

In general, the initial setup was quite easy.

I would rate this product a seven out of ten.

We use this solution for our web application and we have around 20 users in the company.

The solution works very quickly compared to the SQL Server on Tran, and we can access it from anywhere. It's very well managed. 

I think the product could be improved by simplifying the configuration. I would also like to see a reporting feature included, like you find in SQL Server.

I've been using this solution for several months. 

I rate this solution a nine out of 10. 

We are a car company and we use this solution for our customers.

It has a lot of features to keep up with.

It has good reporting and documentation.

The dashboard and interface need improvement.

It could be more user-friendly.

I have been using Amazon AWS for half a year.

We are using the latest version.

It's highly stable. We have not had any issues with stability.

We have not explored this area yet.

My department is quite small. We have three to five people in my team who are using this solution.

My experience with technical support has gone very well. They are very responsive. They are pretty cool.

We are using OpenShift to combine two platforms.

It's pretty hard to deploy. Our IT takes care of this area.

We are happy with the pricing.

Definitely, I would recommend this solution to others.

I would rate Amazon AWS an eight out of ten.
