Asif  Meem - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

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

"Amazon has a much better understanding of the workflow of data scientists and machine learning processes. This is seen by their SageMaker which offers different versions of the models to be used."
"You can instantly scale resources up or down as needed, avoiding the need to build infrastructure from scratch."
"Amazon AWS has good performance and easy management."
"The installation is quite straightforward."
"Our primary use case for Amazon AWS is for disaster recovery."
"We switched to the AWS cloud service because our local office server was not performing well and we wanted to provide smooth service from our application to our end-users."
"This is a great cloud platform and scalability is an outstanding feature."
"The cloud storage based on S3 is one the most valuable services we have deployed since it allows us infinite scale in storage and extremely high durability."
"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."
"One key feature is getting to choose the Virtual Machine configurations while setting up the server, which is an automated process."
"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."
"It is pretty easy to use."
"Moving to Oracle Cloud has addressed some of our major concerns with having to manage the infrastructure, which needs better scalability, integrated security, and better database access."
"It's a very low-cost option for a business to start with."
"The auto-backup, incremental backup and restoration features can be invaluable for management."
"Backing up and recovery for my domain is very easy and fast. In addition, applying patches and undoing applied patches is effective and easy to do."
 

Cons

"This solution could offer more security."
"One area that could be improved is in data management. They could improve on the data side. For example, I see others with better cloud services and larger data computing capabilities."
"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."
"Pricing is the one feature everyone wants AWS to improve."
"They do not yet have a complete solution for APM monitoring. But this, along with real user monitoring, is something that they are actively working on improving."
"One thing that Azure offers that I think is good is Migrate appliance. So, Azure has a migrate appliance that allows you to run against workloads to determine the cost, preparedness, and scalability. I haven't found a similar feature in AWS."
"Billing for cloud services can be difficult at times."
"Setup is somewhat complex."
"There are issues with the application's development, including small glitches and errors."
"Customer service could be improved."
"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."
"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."
"The security part of the tool is not so strong, making it an area I would like to see improved in the solution."
"I would like to see more monitors for standard edition"
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This is a subscription-based service and there are licensing fees."
"We are not happy with the general price and find most of Amazon's products to be quite expensive."
"We pay a monthly licensing fee. It's below $100 a month."
"If you can plan capacity for one or three years, you can use the upfront payment option which allows you to save up to 50%."
"The pricing is fair."
"Amazon AWS is really cost-effective."
"With Amazon AWS, you pay as you go."
"I rate the tool's pricing a six to seven out of ten."
"Oracle Java Cloud Service is an expensive product."
"It is somewhat expensive."
"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."
