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

"This solution is stable and reliable."
"Amazon AWS has a better portfolio. They have an impressive technology and service portfolio."
"With the pay-as-you-go model, we don't have to predict future IT needs, we can just scale up as we want, and that helps with a lot of agility in deploying stuff in our IT infrastructure."
"AWS's security model, including IAM or security groups, has contributed to our organization's compliance. It manages authentication, permissions, and overall security posture, which helps us maintain compliance."
"We are mostly using EC2 compute and other resources. Most of our managed services are in AWS, which some of our clients prefer."
"Amazon AWS is good in terms of deployment and user experience. Their certificate management and load balancer are also good features."
"I use Amazon AWS for backing up our data from the customer relationship management solution of SalesForce."
"If a company is questioning whether it's cheaper than owning a server yourself and running a server yourself, the general answer to the total cost of ownership is yes, it is cheaper."
"The product is very good, fine-tuned, and stable, and support is available 24/7 and is really fast and effective."
"Cloud has provided less maintenance."
"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."
"The framework supports auto-configuration. A lot of features are already there. It is reliable and user-friendly to develop code, back-end engineering, or locate specific information such as addresses."
"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."
"The solution's technical support is good."
"It's a very low-cost option for a business to start with."
"Operational overhead and expenses have been reduced due to easy provisioning and decommissioning of dev/test environments."
 

Cons

"Amazon AWS is very lame in the sense that it's into some sort of beginner stage stuff."
"I think Amazon AWS could be improved cost-wise, as the expenses can be considerable."
"IAM only gives you one chance to capture your key."
"Its price should be lower. The price for in-house usage should be different from production usage."
"I generally don't like the user experience of Amazon. It's not the best."
"The user interface (UI) needs improvement. Right now, it's not the best."
"There is no control of downtime."
"We like everything about the solution except for the general price."
"Needs better integration with other Oracle/non-Oracle products."
"There are issues with the application's development, including small glitches and errors."
"Some of the automated platform patches broke our existing functionality and we were not notified about it."
"It has been built on Java technology but requires more integration with other APIs and CI tools."
"I think there should be improvement with the speed and it should offer a more diverse selection of the suites that I can use."
"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."
"I would like to see more monitors for standard edition"
"The product's high price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's a pay-per-use model."
"The price tends to be higher, but that is a usual case when prioritizing reliable backup solutions for servers and other infrastructure."
"We pay a monthly licensing fee. It's below $100 a month."
"The pricing is one of the best in the segment."
"The pricing of AWS was attractive for us, so that's something that's okay at least for this transaction-based system. However, we still have some concerns about more data-driven applications or those that involve a lot of heavy uploading and downloading. So our whole data warehouse is still something that would not go into the cloud because of the pricing model."
"It is very expensive, you have to be very cautious."
"With Amazon AWS, you pay as you go."
"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."
