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

"The most useful feature of Amazon AWS is it can be accessed from anywhere."
"You can instantly scale resources up or down as needed, avoiding the need to build infrastructure from scratch."
"It has several valuable features, but the load balancer, auto-scaling, and RDS database are the main ones. It is a complete cloud infrastructure solution."
"We have been very, very happy with the capabilities we have been able to experience so far."
"AWS is easy to manage."
"Of course there are other cloud providers, but AWS is far the best on both technology and stability."
"Amazon for DevOps is fantastic. Amazon has fast clouds, and the process and the Dev is very good."
"The solution offers a low footprint; we don't have to come up with a data center ourselves, we basically don't have to own any hardware, and by just renting a slice of their platform we have everything we need."
"One key feature is getting to choose the Virtual Machine configurations while setting up the server, which is an automated process."
"The Oracle Java Cloud Service has enabled our developers to focus on what they do best: developing modern Java applications."
"The auto-backup, incremental backup and restoration features can be invaluable for management."
"The most valuable feature of the product is being able to test on multiple platforms for Oracle, for VMware, and so on."
"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."
"With Oracle Java Cloud Service, in a few clicks, you can set up an entire WebLogic server in the AWS cloud services and the storage cloud services."
"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."
 

Cons

"We would like to see if AWS includes any inbuilt automation."
"I think the price can be improved."
"We have had some difficulty figuring out how to monitor how many EC2 instances have been networked into our entire enterprise."
"However a catch with the above mentioned tools (among others) and approaches is that to replicate your data (e.g. objects in a bucket) can involve other AWS S3 fees."
"The solution could always be further improved on the commercial side of things. Amazon Web Services are not cheap. It would be ideal if it was less expensive for the customer."
"It just needs to be improved from the security perspective."
"If you have not had previous training or studied guides it will be a little difficult to use the solution."
"I have trouble with the AWS command-line interface."
"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."
"The security part of the tool is not so strong, making it an area I would like to see improved in the solution."
"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."
"There are issues with the application's development, including small glitches and errors."
"Customer service could be improved."
"The product is satisfactory but we need more training on managing the machine itself."
"Needs better integration with other Oracle/non-Oracle products."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the Virtual Desktop service from Amazon AWS could improve, it is more expensive than competitors. The pricing model we are using is pay-as-you-go. You only pay for what you use."
"Pricing is good. It's average."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"It's not very pricey, but it could be cheaper."
"The price tends to be higher, but that is a usual case when prioritizing reliable backup solutions for servers and other infrastructure."
"Amazon AWS has pay-as-you-go options available."
"The price is good and licensing fees are paid on a monthly basis."
"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."
