Managed cloud services have helped accelerate experiments with flexible configuration options
Sometimes the costs associated with spinning up a service, especially managed services, have implications. For example, if I create a Glue job, that will create S3 buckets and other resources that have cost implications, but once I clean up a Glue job, it does not delete the other accessory resources. Sometimes, I have to go hunting for what resources Amazon AWS might have provisioned and how it is costing behind the scenes. It can be complex depending on your level of expertise. It is not as easy to get started, especially when it comes to secure practices. Amazon AWS is more hands-on than other platforms.

Offers flexibility and better accessibility to users
The security part of the tool is not so strong, making it an area I would like to see improved in the solution. When working with a cloud tool, it's never 100 percent secure and it is always something to take into account. I would like to be more comfortable working with it and feeling safer. In the future, the tool can be made faster. In the future, I would like to see maybe some AI features in the tool to help automate stuff. You need to be able to create your own models to help create some automated actions.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"What I liked most about Amazon AWS are its services and infrastructure, as it's a very user-friendly platform with servers that are more reliable than others."
"I like that is very easy to use and that it's flexible."
"Amazon for DevOps is fantastic. Amazon has fast clouds, and the process and the Dev is very good."
"It's quite stable and scalable. The price is good as well."
"IaaS with easy management and rapid implementation using Python Django Mezzanine."
"Works very quickly and is well managed."
"Our primary use case is to use the solution for running many relatively small instances for back office applications and various other business important applications."
"Some of the valuable features I have found to be the virtual server is easy to understand, a secure environment, and AWS has a fast community for finding solutions to problems you might be facing."
"The automated features of auto-purging in 12c helps clear disk space on a routine basis."
"It is pretty easy to use."
"Fast, rapid and agile development and deployment of an ADF application (within Proof-of-Concept project) involves four developers in a distributed team (across two different time-zones) and through this they are able to cooperate quickly, without the usual problems of dev/test environment deployments."
"Cloud has provided less maintenance."
"It's a very low-cost option for a business to start with."
"The solution's technical support is good."
"Self-provisioning, easy to choose from WebLogic 11g to 12c."
"Developers deploy their builds and if we need to scale the environment we can do it quickly."
 

Cons

"One problem is that the AWS public cloud doesn't have shared storage capabilities. The second thing is the cloud performance versus on-prem."
"The stability could improve."
"There have been some issues in the past when it comes to file integrations in AWS's cloud products."
"The solution can get to be a little expensive."
"They currently have fewer regions in Asia, especially in India, China, and other places. They can maybe put more data centers in this region."
"The AWS documentation is written in a way that is not very intuitive. That's an area they can improve."
"Not all of the functionality is available in Europe and our customers in France want to be able to use features that are only available in the US."
"Amazon AWS could improve its user interface to make it more user-friendly, especially for people who are not highly technical."
"It has been built on Java technology but requires more integration with other APIs and CI tools."
"Some of the automated platform patches broke our existing functionality and we were not notified about it."
"Needs better integration with other Oracle/non-Oracle products."
"It needs to have the ability to create a service with the same name as another one when the initial creation failed as sometimes it's necessary to have a service with exact name."
"Needs better integration with other Oracle/non-Oracle products."
"The product is satisfactory but we need more training on managing the machine itself. For example, how do we add more storage, how do we extend a specific portion? I would like to see videos illustrating some of the technical tasks that we often need to do."
"So far, the only issue I have is with the storage cloud."
"There are issues with the application's development, including small glitches and errors."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is not the cheapest one, but there is a good ratio between the quality of service and the pricing. Its price is good for me."
"Amazon AWS could have more options and transparency in its pricing model. You need in-depth knowledge to adopt AWS. So someone without that knowledge base might not understand all of the costs associated with AWS."
"It is much more expensive than any other cloud provider."
"The pricing of Amazon is higher than that of SalesForce."
"The tool is expensive."
"One of the best-kept ways to reduce costs is to develop it on serverless technologies with AWS Lambda, SNS, DynamoDB, and S3."
"It's expensive. It costs you an arm and a leg."
"The licensing cost varies with the project involved."
"Oracle is a little more expensive right now, but not much compared to SAP. Oracle's prices are very much dependent on the scale of the project and how many users are there."
"It is somewhat expensive."
"Oracle Java Cloud Service is an expensive product."
