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 AWS is very user-friendly."
"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 monitoring is the most valuable aspect of the product."
"We pretty much like everything and we are excited about the seamless capability the EC2 service is offering."
"It is enough for us in terms of features. We don't have too many transactions, and it is sufficient for our current needs."
"A scalable and secure product"
"They release new solutions almost every quarter and you don't get that kind of innovation from an enterprise company."
"We have no issues with the stability of Amazon AWS."
"Operational overhead and expenses have been reduced due to easy provisioning and decommissioning of dev/test environments."
"It offers easy provisioning, and we were able to get a server up and running in an hour."
"The most valuable feature of the product is being able to test on multiple platforms for Oracle, for VMware, and so on."
"The solution's technical support is good."
"The auto-backup, incremental backup and restoration features can be invaluable for management."
"One key feature is getting to choose the Virtual Machine configurations while setting up the server, which is an automated process."
"It's a very low-cost option for a business to start with."
"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."
 

Cons

"The feedback we are getting from our customers, especially here in Turkey where the exchange rate fluctuates regularly, is that the solution is quite expensive."
"I think the price can be improved. The price is high now, and Amazon's web portal can be improved."
"Amazon needs to develop better tools for troubleshooting network traffic, application insights, performance, and even some aspects of integration mapping. I'm hoping AWS implements something like Azure's Network Watcher and a log analytics solution where a can pull logs from various services and present them in a single dashboard. I want to summarize the performance and usage of every service and application."
"The overall convenience and the ease to use could be improved."
"I think the product could be improved by simplifying the configuration."
"The pricing structure can be improved and made more straightforward."
"The pricing could be adjusted to provide more advantages versus current on-premise solutions for business applications."
"Amazon AWS is a very poor product for students. Microsoft Azure is a better solution."
"The product's high price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Customer service could be improved."
"There are issues with the application's development, including small glitches and errors."
"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 has been built on Java technology but requires more integration with other APIs and CI tools."
"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."
"So far, the only issue I have is with the storage cloud."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price could be lower."
"AWS is scalable depending on your needs so pricing is dependant on what you use."
"Monthly licensing fee."
"The prices are a bit high."
"The price is quite good; it is a pay-as-you-go option."
"A few of our customers pay for it yearly and monthly. Sometimes, when it's related to the data, the pricing seems to be high. It could be cheaper on a transactional basis."
"The licensing cost varies with the project involved."
"The license for Amazon AWS is expensive. I am currently using the free version."
"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."
"Oracle Java Cloud Service is an expensive product."
