Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling Reviews

We use the tool to deploy NLP modules. 

The tool helps me to process large data sets while scaling up. 

The product's technical support needs to be better. 

I have been using the product for five years. 

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

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

The product is easy to deploy. 

I have seen ROI with the product's use. 

The tool's pricing is good and not expensive. 

I would rate the product an eight out of ten. We plan to increase the tool's usage. You need to have good documentation to start using the product. 

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. 

Our company uses the solution to cluster cloud services for our customers who need elastic computing. Our customers currently have thousands of service users. 

The solution includes many features for configuring networks and VPCs. 

The pricing could be reduced. 

I have been using the solution for five years. 

The solution is the most stable service engine offered by AWS. 

The solution is scalable because it is cloud-based. 

Technical support is perfect so I rate them a ten out of ten. 

Positive

The solution is cloud-based so there is no setup. It is important, however, to configure the Auto Scaling feature which takes about ten minutes. 

We deploy the solution in-house and it is easy. Deployments and ongoing management are handled by two technicians. 

The solution pricing varies by service region is mid-range. Various conditions determine pricing such as the IP selected. 

I rate pricing a six out of ten. 

The solution is an alternative to Lambda. Some customers prefer Lambda because it is very efficient and can complete processes up to four times faster.

Every AWS user should utilize the solution if they are not using Lambda.

I recommend the solution and rate it a ten out of ten. 

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 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. 

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 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. 

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.
