Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling Reviews

We use the solution to launch the instances.

The solution's most valuable feature is auto scaling group.

The solution's stability and scalability need improvement.

We have been using the solution for a year.

I rate the solution's stability a nine. Although, it could be more stable for Asia-specific regions.

I rate the solution's scalability an eight. It is expensive to scale it for multiple instances.

The solution's initial setup is straightforward. We use template plans and modify them as per the specific requirement. The deployment takes two to nine months to complete.

The solution's price is affordable for enterprise customers.

I rate the solution as nine out of ten. It is easy to maintain multiple instances using it.

We use EC2 for regular usage based on on-demand pricing or cost-saving plans and Reserved Instances, depending on the customer's needs.

If customers want to use an instance for a longer time and maximize usage, we recommend savings plans and Reserved Instances instead of on-demand pricing.

We use Auto Scaling based on the customer's use case. For example, one of my customers utilizes EC2 with custom scaling configurations.

It depends on the specific case or business scenario. Sometimes, Auto Scaling is more beneficial, and sometimes, Reserved Instances are preferred, especially for longer-term usage. It varies based on the use case.

It should be more stable, more secure, and have better pricing.

I'm on the leadership side, so I don't directly work with EC2 instances. However, we sell service to the customers.

It is a stable solution.

It is a scalable solution. There are numerous customers, or more than a hundred customers, using this solution.

Customer service depends on the support model and the type of support you have chosen.

The initial setup was easy and took only a couple of minutes. It's just a few clicks.

The licensing cost is expensive.

Overall, I would rate the solution an eight out of ten. 

We use the solution to increase CPU and memory size. 

I have been using the product for six to seven years. 

The tool is stable, old and mature. 

I would rate the solution's stability a nine out of ten. We have 200 users for the product. 

The product's setup is complex for an intermediate user. However, it's easy for the experience. The tool's deployment is a step-by-step process. 

I would rate the product a ten out of ten. 

Our use case is for when there's a need for additional processing capacity. Broadly speaking, the platform has inbuilt intelligence that detects a high workload, and then automatically scales out to accommodate the increased demand for capacity. We have production systems that run 24/7.

It's the auto-scaling that is the main valuable feature. 

I'd like to see more integration with products like Ansible and other platforms. 

The solution is very stable. 

The main feature of this product is scaling. The product itself does not need to be scalable. 

The technical support is good, they respond quickly. 

The initial setup is straightforward and AWS provides good documentation which can be easily leveraged by anyone trying to use it. Deployment takes a maximum of an hour. It's just a matter of defining the parameters that need to be chosen in terms of different things like network capacity and processing memory. It then requires specifying the kind of load balancer needed along with some basic inputs. It's easy.

For an average size customer, we manage the entire range of applications and features on AWS. If it fits your use case, it's very good. 

This is a very efficient solution and I rate it nine out of 10. 

We use the solution to autoscale the number of servers per specific business requirements.

The solution allows setting the number of servers required depending on the usage. Later, it automatically increases or decreases the servers per the threshold level.

There should be fewer inputs required that include mandatory details for configuration. It will help someone with less technical knowledge easily set up the system.

I have been using the solution for more than seven years.

The solution is stable. I rate its stability a nine out of ten.

I rate the solution's scalability an eight out of ten.

The solution has generated over 50-55% ROI for us. It is higher compared to GCP.

The solution is less expensive than Azure and GCP.

I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

We use this solution to scale up and scale down. You can have 1,000 people connecting to your network or you can have 50,000. The solution scales up to cope with the extra demand.

The best feature is that the solution can increase resources and handle traffic spikes so you don't lose anything as a result of system overload. 

The big issue for us is the cost of using the solution. 

I've been using this solution for three years. 

The solution is stable. 

The solution is very scalable, that's what it does. We have one million customers in the U.S.

The tech support is perfect.

The initial setup is straightforward and took just a few hours. We had one person responsible for deployment. 

The license is pay as you use. 

I recommend this solution and rate it nine out of 10. 

We are using Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling to horizontally scale.

The solution can be deployed on the cloud, and on-premise, and can be configurated hybrid.

The most valuable feature of Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling is scaling your intra based on the request. Additionally, you are able to map the solution with any load balancer, such as public or private load balancers.

Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling could improve by adding better integration features with the other services. Additionally, if the alarms could be triggered from other services this would be beneficial.

I have been using Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling for approximately 

Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling is an old solution and it is stable.

The support from Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling is good. We use them whenever we have issues. They have a quick reply time.

Positive

The initial setup of Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling is straightforward, it's not very complex. We have to write the scripts and everything can be done with them.

The steps taken for the implementation depend on intra to intra. If it's a very complex intra, it takes time. However, if it's straightforward intra, then it could be very easy and fast.

I rate Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling a ten out of ten.

I use it for running Tomcat applications to restore the RDS, the database for getting the data. It then generates a UI. 

I am using it only for practicing purposes. I am trying to test the auto-scale feature and see how it works when we increase any workload.

It's good performance-wise.

Scalability can be improved. 

I have been using this solution for around two to three months. It is mostly for personal practice purposes when I want to learn or practice anything, like research.

It is stable. 

I try to do auto-scaling. It sometimes works. At other times, I'm not able to generate that load. I am still testing out my application.

I didn't contact technical support. I just go through the documents.

The initial setup was simple. It took me an hour to install. 

Pricing could be a little bit more competitive.

I haven't explored it that much, so it's only basic use. I would recommend this product. 

I would rate Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling an eight out of ten.
