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.

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

"We have been very, very happy with the capabilities we have been able to experience so far."
"Support is really good."
"AWS helped us to dramatically transform our business model into a cloud based subscription service."
"The price forecasting and billing dashboard by service, with billing budgets and alerts, have helped us shut down resources that were accruing costs that we no longer needed, saving us money."
"I like S3, load balancers, and Route 53."
"The initial implementation process is not difficult or complex."
"Easy to upgrade, easy to expand storage and change your EC2 types."
"Amazon AWS has a good Redshift database."
"The most valuable feature of the product is being able to test on multiple platforms for Oracle, for VMware, and so on."
"Self-provisioning, easy to choose from WebLogic 11g to 12c."
"Cloud has provided less maintenance."
"It offers easy provisioning, and we were able to get a server up and running in an hour."
"Operational overhead and expenses have been reduced due to easy provisioning and decommissioning of dev/test environments."
"It is pretty easy to use."
"Developers deploy their builds and if we need to scale the environment we can do it quickly."
"The automated features of auto-purging in 12c helps clear disk space on a routine basis."
 

Cons

"AWS is very expensive."
"The pricing structure can be improved and made more straightforward."
"As far as the automation is concerned, the backups should be scaled."
"The overall convenience and the ease to use could be improved."
"More complete and specific training for many of the technologies, specifically with Python Django and the CMS (Mezzanine)."
"It would be nice to be able to test Direct Connect without having to pay a line."
"Amazon AWS could improve by being more secure and adding more features."
"Monitoring still needs to be improved."
"It has been built on Java technology but requires more integration with other APIs and CI tools."
"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."
"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."
"Customer service could be improved."
"Some of the automated platform patches broke our existing functionality and we were not notified about it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its pricing can be simplified a little bit more. Even though they have been reducing it, I still believe they can do better as compared to GCP, Google Cloud."
"Amazon AWS is on the cheaper side, as their pricing is more competitive. There are no additional costs besides the license. However, Azure sells Microsoft licenses, so they have an advantage."
"Amazon AWS is really cost-effective."
"AWS is not an expensive product."
"The cost is on a monthly basis."
"We pay for Amazon AWS annually."
"It could be cheaper, and Amazon could also be more transparent with its pricing. I would first expect any product vendor to give me the utmost transparency on pricing information. There shouldn't be any hidden costs. Their service offerings have a bit of segmentation, and they focus more on SMBs. They brought them onto the cloud and encouraged them to use solutions on the cloud. But strategically, they should probably improve that and offer some credits."
"Amazon AWS is a bit more expensive than Oracle."
"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."
"It is somewhat expensive."
