Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling Reviews

We are using this product within our cloud-based development environment.

The most valuable feature is the seamless transition from the development environment to production.

The interface is simple to use.

The monitoring tool is helpful.

Ask set of questions like expected number of users, redundancy, up time per day and etc when creating a new instance. This would help the user to choose the right EC2 configurations.

We have been using Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling for more than a year.

We have had no problems with the stability of this product.

We have not had any issues with scalability since our implementation.

In our development environment, we have 20 members. When it moves into production then there will be more than 1,000.

I have not been in contact with technical support. They have good documentation and we consult it when we have a problem.

The initial setup is straightforward.

The pricing is not fixed and it is based on usage.

My advice for anybody who is implementing this product is to consider their budget in conjunction with the configuration that they need. That is something that you have to be careful with. If it is too high-end of a configuration then you may not use it.

In summary, this is a good product that I can recommend.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

The most valuable features are that it is stable, flexible, and reliable.

It is pretty good from a scaling perspective, where if the load on the server is too high, it automatically scales up and the load on the server is balanced. When the load decreases, it automatically downgrades.

The technical support needs to be improved.

From a usage perspective, it runs well, although there may be a use case where it will break that I have not yet come across.

I have been using Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling for several years.

This is a stable solution.

The scalability is very good. I have used it at the enterprise level for hundreds of users. 

With respect to technical support, there is a lot of good documentation available but the problem is that sometimes when there is third-party integration, support becomes very difficult because they think that the problem is not related to Amazon.

For example, I tried to integrate with some IoT products, and they support integration with Amazon. When I had trouble, the IoT vendor told me that it is Amazon who needed to take care of something on their side, yet when I contacted Amazon, they told me to contact the IoT vendor. They should have more partnerships and cooperation with other vendors to improve integration overall.

As a platform, we are expecting a little bit more in terms of support, especially when third-party integrations are concerned.

We did not use another similar product prior to this one.

There is no installation because it is already taken care of with a configuration tool by AWS.

The price of this product could be a little bit lower.

Overall, this is a good product and I haven't face any issues with it. I plan to continue using it in the future, and I can recommend it to others. My primary complaint is about the pricing.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling is used if your computers are heavily using resources or heavily loaded, this is going to impact your backend environment. Therefore if your computers need more CPUs or additional RAM associated, then you can use Auto Scaling to take care of it. We then do not face any such structural issues with the VMs where we host the control environment and application.

Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling has good integration.

The solution could improve by having more automation. Nowadays there is a vast variety of automation. Additionally, infrastructure monitoring could improve.

I have been using Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling for approximately three years.

The solution is stable.

Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling is scalable. 

We have more than 50 users using this solution in my organization.

The installation is straightforward and it takes approximately 15 minutes to do.

We did the implementation ourselves.

I have not explored the price of the solution extensively, but from what I have seen the price is alright. 

There is an annual subscription needed for the solution.

I would recommend this solution to others.

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