Senior Machine Learning Engineer at sportsbet
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.

SAP Consultant at SA&BC
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

"Technical support is quite helpful."
"We rely heavily on AWS, and we're constantly taking advantage of new features as they come out to see how they can add value to the business."
"The pricing model of Amazon AWS is very good because there is an option to pay for what you use only, you do not have to give any money upfront to use it."
"Amazon AWS is stable and we have not faced any issues."
"We are using it for moving all the banking and insurance domains from on-premises systems to the cloud platform, which is managed by services, right from data integration and data inception to data processing, to advanced visualization and analytics, and we are also using the AI and machine learning aspects as well."
"I like that all of the features are complimentary."
"The documentation is very good."
"I like the flexibility of this solution."
"Cloud has provided less maintenance."
"The Oracle Java Cloud Service has enabled our developers to focus on what they do best: developing modern Java applications."
"Self-provisioning, easy to choose from WebLogic 11g to 12c."
"It offers easy provisioning, and we were able to get a server up and running in an hour."
"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."
"Operational overhead and expenses have been reduced due to easy provisioning and decommissioning of dev/test environments."
"The ability to manage security and access the server from any location with complete security using SSH is perfect for performing crucial tasks, even while travelling."
"Demoing is always an expensive process, from procurement of hardware to installation of software, now it is easier, cheaper, and more elastic."
 

Cons

"User personalization and robotic process automation services need to be mature enough."
"While feasible, custom configuration will be more time consuming than standard, although we have not encountered many instances which required us to seek support or advice."
"If Amazon AWS can offer more self-paced learning tools, on their website, on CBT, it'll be easier for more people to familiarize themselves with their service."
"Some of their well-listed services are not super configurable — at least to the extent that we would like to configure and customize them."
"There's a huge cost for support."
"Amazon is not at all a partner-friendly company. Support from Amazon is not at all good as a partner."
"Monthly costs can be high if you don't maintain your usage"
"In the next release, I would like to see better pricing."
"So far, the only issue I have is with the storage cloud."
"Integration with Oracle products is well-supported. The same should be provided for other products that are used in most organizations, like PeopleSoft, CA, etc."
"There are issues with the application's development, including small glitches and errors."
"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."
"I think there should be improvement with the speed and it should offer a more diverse selection of the suites that I can use."
"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."
"The product is satisfactory but we need more training on managing the machine itself."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's expensive."
"It is quite expensive in my very personal opinion. Going on-prem in a data center is, for sure, not as expensive as going to AWS, but when it comes to a point where you are raising and growing, it simply makes a lot of sense to stay in AWS. It is awesome in that way. I am not aware of any extra costs."
"We pay for Amazon AWS annually."
"Licensing is on a yearly basis. I believe we are satisfied with the current pricing. Otherwise, we would have switched to another vendor."
"The tool’s pricing is reasonable."
"AWS is scalable depending on your needs so pricing is dependant on what you use."
"It is much more expensive than any other cloud provider."
"When I first started using the solution I used a free trial, and then we upgraded to a pay-as-you-go subscription. We have an allocated budget of $50."
"It is somewhat expensive."
"Oracle Java Cloud Service is an expensive product."
"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."
