"The features that I have found most valuable are its cloud storage and compute services."
"The solution also helps organizations to move applications to a containerized platform."
"I like that the products are specific and objective. We can resolve a problem using a simple configuration. It's so easy to implement a solution and solve a problem using AWS solutions. AWS has a lot of specific solutions for different use cases. I think that this is the most important thing that made us consider using AWS."
"For testing, it is a cheap alternative to having to build your own labs."
"It is flexible. It is quite comfortable to use for organizations."
"Amazon AWS contains a lot of helpful services."

"The WhatApp feature is the most valuable."
"I've found that all of the features are valuable, especially the shared drive and the ability for multiple people to use their documents at the same time."
"Google App Engine's most valuable feature is self-management. You do not have to manage the infrastructure underneath where all the functions are happening, such as load balancing deployment and version management, they are managed by the system itself."
"Seurity features - unauthorized individuals are unable to access certain applications."
"The product's initial setup phase was straightforward, considering that there is good documentation explaining the implementation part of it."
"The solution is serverless, so we don't have to operate it."
"The initial setup is okay. It's not too complex. Deployment took about one day."
"I don't have complaints. Previously, we asked for more end-to-end workshops, examples, and tutorials and these have been added and improved."
"AWS support could be better."
"Price can always be cheaper."
"Many of our clients prefer in-house cloud rather than the application data sitting in the infrastructure owned and managed by Amazon."
"Its price should be lower. The price for in-house usage should be different from production usage."
"Its only cons are on the data warehouse side. AWS' data warehouse Redshift is not as good as it should be."
"We like everything about the solution except for the general price."
"There should be improvement in terms of creating databases of varying sizes which would provide flexibility."
"The documentation and community are lacking for this product."
"The support for the Indian region is not as good as compared to the support that is offered to the regions in Europe."
"Data consumption of the device could be improved."
"The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"There needs to be more directions in terms of how to use the solution."
"I would like a simpler deployment tool on laptops. It is a bit complicated at the moment. We know how to do it, but it could be easier to deploy it on laptops."
"I think there's still a lot that can be done with Google Meet and the video conferencing part of it. It could be more dynamic in terms of what can be done with it."
"The only concern is that there is a number of the offerings which are built on their own proprietary technologies. With some of the offerings in Google Cloud, it's difficult to have a path to migrate to other cloud providers."
