Amazon EC2 Reviews

We are using Amazon EC2 for computing.

The most valuable features of Amazon EC2 are content delivery and adaptability.

I have been using Amazon EC2 for approximately two months.

Amazon EC2 could improve the stability.

The scalability of Amazon EC2 is good.

I have not used technical support from Amazon EC2.

I did not use other solutions prior to using Amazon EC2.

I am using the tier three Amazon service. I am not going to use another solution other than Amazon EC2 because here in Pakistan there are some payment issues for solutions abroad.

I rate Amazon EC2 a nine out of ten.

We use Amazon EC2 for our virtual machines. For example, if a client wants thier website to work with WordPress, we can use EC2 to spin up a virtual machine and then run WordPress in that environment.

The flexibility of the security features is what is interesting.

The only issue with EC2 is that it makes it difficult to install an LLS certificate on your WordPress website that you have deployed inside that virtual machine. That becomes complicated. S3 is straightforward. But when you're hosting with EC2 then it becomes a problem.

I would like to see more user-friendly WordPress licensing. I am referring to WordPress LLS certificates. WordPress-hosted websites, otherwise, are very stable because the RDP never has these issues. 

I am a software developer, I also use it to host my own application service. In our company, we also create systems. I use it to run other servers inside an EC2 virtual machine. It's accessible, and it is stable.

I have been working with Amazon EC2 for three years.

Amazon EC2 is very stable. I have no issues with the stability of Amazon EC2.

Amazon EC2 is a scalable solution.

We have two Amazon EC2 clients.

I have never had to use technical support for Amazon Web Services in general.

I am a consultant on all of the services that I have listed. F3, EC2, WorkMail. Obviously, F3 goes with Route 53.

I have been working with all of the products listed for three years.

I am starting from scratch with support and everything.

WorkMail is a bit expensive per user. That is something they must correct.

They provide excellent service, but it is too expensive for South Africans. We are losing clients because the price my clients pay for email alone is nearly equal to the price they pay for an entire Microsoft Office license, which includes email.

Where they will have Microsoft Word and other productivity tools, as well as email. And you will pay nearly that much for an email with WorkMail. It's far too costly. That is unaffordable.

The initial setup is straightforward.

It works immediately. It's fast.

You pay as you use it.

I would recommend this solution to others who are interested in using it.

I would rate Amazon EC2 a seven out of ten.

We typically use the solution for the web server.

The solution can scale. It's very easy.

It offers excellent value.

The product is easy and quick to set up.

We have found it to be stable and reliable.

The support could be more responsive.

I’ve used the solution for four years. It's been a while. 

It’s a stable product. There are no bugs or glitches and it doesn’t crash or freeze. It is reliable.

The solution is scalable.

We have at least 20 people on the solution currently.

Technical support is better if the customer signs up for the support package. If they do not have a support package, getting help takes longer.

The initial setup is very straightforward.

The deployment typically takes about two days. It does not take long. It can be handled by one department. We run it 24/7 and have it at about five financial institutions.

We handled the initial setup in-house. We did not need any outside assistance.

The cost of the product is reasonable. It’s not overly expensive.

We are encouraging our customers to go to the cloud. It’s aligned with our business.

I would recommend the solution. I’d rate it eight out of ten.

We had a client which has a legacy application that wanted to move to the cloud without a cloud-native solution. What they did was they moved to Amazon EC2 and asked for virtual machines. They had an Oracle database and licenses, they were all provided by the client, and then they all moved to the Amazon EC2 environment.

Amazon EC2's most valuable feature I have heard from clients is easy provisioning. Provisioning is very quick and easy.

Amazon EC2 could improve by reducing the price.

I have been using Amazon EC2 for approximately two years.

Amazon EC2 is stable.

The scalability of Amazon EC2 is good.

Our client was a large company with approximately 1,000 using the solution.

The support from Amazon EC2 is good. 

The ROI is similar to an on-premise version of my client's operations.

The clients have found the billing of Amazon EC2 good, but the price could be less high. There is a monthly subscription to use the solution.

We have difficulty convincing potential clients of the benefits of using Amazon EC2, from their on-premise setup, when the cost is similar. They don't see the benefits. We face a lot of issues convincing them

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Amazon EC2 an eight out of ten.

We use EC2 for test and dev environments.

EC2 has the typical advantages of using the cloud. It's easy to provision and set up.

I would like to see more variety in the operating system images used to create test environments in EC2. There should be more versions and releases. Sometimes, you want to test an update from an old release to a higher version, but you can’t do that with the new images available. You have to use your own.

I have used EC2 for three or four years.

Amazon EC2 is stable.

EC2 is scalable. There is an auto-scale setting in the configuration.

I've never had to use tech support. I think most of the documentation is adequate.

Setting up EC2 is straightforward. It takes a few minutes, and you can do it by yourself.

Pricing is based on consumption, so when we don't want to use it, we just turn it off. The expense is negligible.

We pay for a monthly license. The price is fair.

I would rate Amazon EC2 nine out of 10.

EC2 and VPC are two services that are quite interconnected. EC2 is the Amazon console that uses the host resources in the data centers to launch servers,  instances and services with VPC as the networking part. 

This is a great solution that's stable, scalable and simple to implement. 

We sometimes need to change the resource service levels, whether it's to expand or contract. Amazon doesn't offer that option so the way things work now, changes can't be made without scheduling downtime or preventing users from using the service for a period while changes are made. I would like to see servers upgrading or downgrading on the fly without the end user even noticing the change. It would be life-changing for us. 

I've been using this solution for about four years. 

The solution is very stable. There are instances storage servers distributed on multiple hosts in the data centers and even if there's a failure we're unaware of the disruptions. The solution is stable 24/7, 365 days a year, and we know we can rely on it.

The solution is scalable, we have over 1,000 users. 

The initial setup is very straightforward. 

Licensing costs are paid monthly for the whole package. That includes the resources that the server is utilizing, plus the operating system along with any database license, such as Microsoft SQL, that you are using. It's quite expensive.

This is an amazing solution although it's not suitable for every company.
They lose one point because the price is quite high so I rate this product nine out of 10. 

Amazon EC2 is used if you are looking for a process serving cloud service.

The best features of Amazon EC2 are its high performance and security.

Amazon EC2 could improve its dashboards and UI, they need to be more user-friendly.

I have been using Amazon EC2 for approximately five years.

Amazon EC2 is a stable and reliable

Amazon EC2 is a highly scalable solution.

We have over 100 users using this solution and we have plans to increase the usage.

The support from Amazon EC2 is good.

The initial setup of Amazon EC2 is straightforward. It only took us a few minutes to complete.

We did the implementation ourselves.

We do not need a special team to implement this solution. 

Amazon EC2 has a pay-as-you-use cost model.

Amazon EC2 is the right choice for cloud services processing.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Amazon EC2 a nine out of ten.

I mainly use EC2 for hosting our application as well as some of the user data caching mechanism and mailing services.

EC2 could be improved with easier migration.

I've been using EC2 for around eighteen months.

I'm satisfied with the stability of EC2.

EC2 is scalable.

Amazon's technical support is great, we have no issues with it.

The initial setup wa straightforward and took around two weeks before configuration.

EC2 is secure and stable, and we have no complaints about it on AWS. However, Microsoft is more helpful with our go-to-market strategy, which motivates us to use Azure more than EC2. I would rate EC2 as ten out of ten.

We are running all of our application services on Amazon EC2.

We're expecting to have Graviton instances. Graviton means it's not internal, it's a low-cost instance. At present time, Graviton is not supported for a few packages.

I have been using Amazon EC2 for approximately five years.

Amazon EC2 has plenty of scalability options to decrease or increase the number we need. Based on our bandwidth usage we may go for a higher or downgrade level. We can do it ourselves.

Our applications are running on Amazon EC2 instances only, we have approximately 15,000 that can use on a daily basis.

We have been receiving a lot of customer sign-ups. There are user licenses with the application, based on users' usage count we may increase or decrease the server instances types if needed.

Amazon's support is the best because the agents can react faster than competitors. They provide a very good service.

We have previously used many other services.

The initial installation was straightforward.

I have done the implementation of Amazon EC2 and I handle the maintenance and support.

There is a license required to use this solution and we pay on a monthly basis.

I rate Amazon EC2 a ten out of ten.

We use EC2 to configure the Kubernetes environment clusters and to reconfigure Kubernetes by applications and microservices.

The most valuable feature is EC2 is scalable, so when you want to move to market, you don't need to wait until your provision is fast, you can just go and provision it and then easily install your application. We can also size the instances correctly based on our requirements, so for example, there are multiple instance types and families, and we can choose according to the requirement, which is very convenient.

The ease of migrating applications could be improved.

I've been using EC2 for more than three years.

EC2 is stable, but it depends on the architecture - if you don't protect it with other control and security mechanisms, it'll be cumbersome.

EC2 is scalable, you can just go and provision it and then easily install your application. 

Normally when we have operations issues, we escalate tickets to the support team, and they've always responded on time.

The amount of time it takes to install depends on how you configure and how many instances of EC2 you want.

We have a monthly primary account that pays for the licensing, with multiple accounts below it. So whenever we want to have a new solution, we create a new account under the paying account.

I would give this solution a rating of eight out of ten.
