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 dashboard is very good, the solution in general is user-friendly and easy to navigate, the product as a whole is very intuitive, the initial setup was quite easy, the product is reliable and quite stable, and the solution is fine for static hosting."
"The initial setup is easy. The deployment is fast."
"The installation is quite straightforward."
"The most valuable features are load balancers, databases, and S3 buckets."
"Amazon AWS is stable and we have not faced any issues."
"What I appreciate most about Amazon AWS is that it is a popular cloud platform that is very easy to use based on the segregation that has been implemented."
"I have found the trusted advisor tool works well, we are using it to get some insight into the security status and the processing of the applications."
"I'm just a customer and an end-user; I'd highly recommend the solution to other users as one of the best cloud options out there right now."
"The product is very good, fine-tuned, and stable, and support is available 24/7 and is really fast and effective."
"One key feature is getting to choose the Virtual Machine configurations while setting up the server, which is an automated process."
"The solution's technical support is good."
"The automated features of auto-purging in 12c helps clear disk space on a routine basis."
"Demoing is always an expensive process, from procurement of hardware to installation of software, now it is easier, cheaper, and more elastic."
"Developers deploy their builds and if we need to scale the environment we can do it quickly."
"The Oracle Java Cloud Service has enabled our developers to focus on what they do best: developing modern Java applications."
"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."
 

Cons

"The networking models used in AWS, while functional, do have room for improvement."
"I would like to see CloudFormation made more in the programming way of thinking."
"The solution should be made friendlier to use. As far as the automation is concerned, the backups should be scaled."
"I think the solution could be more user-friendly, like Microsoft products."
"We don't know whether to increase server capacity or alert notifications. We don't know which hard disc to purchase or what the next recommended CPU is."
"Many of our clients prefer in-house cloud rather than the application data sitting in the infrastructure owned and managed by Amazon."
"The solution can get rather pricey. It should be more reasonable."
"It works very well with open-source solutions like Java, but not with .NET technologies."
"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"
"Customer service could be improved."
"So far, the only issue I have is with the storage cloud."
"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."
"The product is satisfactory but we need more training on managing the machine itself."
"The security part of the tool is not so strong, making it an area I would like to see improved in the solution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price can be better."
"When we shifted the load to AWS we paid a high cost as the mail stores were hosted on EBS. The storage cost drastically reduced after moving to S3."
"The pricing is expensive."
"Its price should be lower. Currently, the price is the same if you are working in-house or in production. If you have to do internal testing or you are checking if things are working in-house, you need to pay for that, and the price is the same. The price for in-house usage should be different from production usage."
"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."
"One of the best-kept ways to reduce costs is to develop it on serverless technologies with AWS Lambda, SNS, DynamoDB, and S3."
"The prices are a bit high."
"It can get quite pricey at times."
"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."
"It is somewhat expensive."
