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

"I think Amazon AWS is easy to use, and it's a good service."
"Machine learning is a valuable feature."
"We are able to run up a platform, say UAT, entirely in about an hour."
"Scalability is one of the biggest benefits we have."
"I like many features, like the recently released useful analytics features. There are many from the data analytics or database side."
"The whole solution is well designed and AWS has decent documentation, which is not to be taken for granted. I've also found that AWS is easy to use."
"I like AWS for its scalability, reliability, and availability, and it's much more mature and user-friendly compared to some other cloud providers."
"The most valuable features of Amazon AWS are the high level of capabilities, cloud-native environment, developer-friendly, intuitive interface, and automation. The solution overall is easy to learn from the resources available."
"The automated features of auto-purging in 12c helps clear disk space on a routine basis."
"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."
"The product is very good, fine-tuned, and stable, and support is available 24/7 and is really fast and effective."
"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."
"Developers deploy their builds and if we need to scale the environment we can do it quickly."
"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."
"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."
 

Cons

"Pricy for dedicated servers."
"I think the product could be improved by simplifying the configuration."
"Faster API response times and an improved console experience would be better. Enhanced performance across APIs and the console would streamline our workflows."
"Price is an area with a shortcoming in the solution that has a scope for improvement"
"Amazon support could be better."
"AWS is expensive and the cost should be reduced."
"A bit costlier than Microsoft Azure based on computer per hour and outbound bandwidth."
"As far as the automation is concerned, the backups should be scaled."
"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."
"There are issues with the application's development, including small glitches and errors."
"Needs better integration with other Oracle/non-Oracle products."
"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."
"Some of the automated platform patches broke our existing functionality and we were not notified about it."
"I think there should be improvement with the speed and it should offer a more diverse selection of the suites that I can use."
"Customer service could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"The solution's pricing depends on your traffic since they charge you based on the traffic, not the servers. The price can go into many, many thousands depending on the traffic."
"Its price is kind of okay. When we do a migration from on-premises to the cloud, we typically use the lift-and-shift model. Based on the studies that we have done, cost savings are definitely there when we moved from on-premises to the cloud."
"Billing for cloud services can be difficult at times."
"The pricing is expensive."
"We are not happy with the general price and find most of Amazon's products to be quite expensive."
"The Oracle licensing is higher than it is with Amazon AWS."
"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."
