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.

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

"Some of the valuable features I have found to be the virtual server is easy to understand, a secure environment, and AWS has a fast community for finding solutions to problems you might be facing."
"Amazon for DevOps is fantastic. Amazon has fast clouds, and the process and the Dev is very good."
"This solution is a good option if you are looking for cloud-based storage."
"It has many choices of computer options, storage options, and even database options."
"Having a cloud available has been great; it makes things faster and easier and the deployment is pretty quick and very straightforward."
"Everything is good in this solution."
"AWS has large community support."
"Amazon AWS contains a lot of helpful services."
"Reduces man-hours and speeds up business operations."
"The automated features of auto-purging in 12c helps clear disk space on a routine basis."
"The product is very good, fine-tuned, and stable, and support is available 24/7 and is really fast and effective."
"The Oracle Java Cloud Service has enabled our developers to focus on what they do best: developing modern Java applications."
"Operational overhead and expenses have been reduced due to easy provisioning and decommissioning of dev/test environments."
"The solution's technical support is good."
"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."
"Developers deploy their builds and if we need to scale the environment we can do it quickly."
 

Cons

"They do not yet have a complete solution for APM monitoring. But this, along with real user monitoring, is something that they are actively working on improving."
"Support response times can be improved, especially in areas where faster assistance is crucial."
"We would appreciate it if the product was cheaper."
"This solution would be improved with the inclusion of hybrid Kubernetes management."
"We have had some difficulty figuring out how to monitor how many EC2 instances have been networked into our entire enterprise."
"It would be better if there was a way to see which components were still on. We have some situations where I forget that some components are turned on. We forget some components are on, and we only see that these components are on when we see the bill at the end of the month. It would also be better if AWS had specialized firewalls or integrations with leading products. For example, a specialized firewall with content filtering. We were looking for some firewall tools, and we saw that AWS doesn't have any specialized firewall tools in its services portfolio. So, we are looking for other tools like FortKnox, Forcepoint, and Check Point because we didn't find the solutions in AWS services."
"Amazon AWS could improve by being more secure and adding more features."
"You'll probably experience some sticker shock with AWS. You attempt to understand the cost, but you don't realize what you're paying until you get your first bill. I don't know if Amazon does that on purpose, but costs can get out of control quickly if you don't have someone who specializes in AWS cost management."
"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."
"Some of the automated platform patches broke our existing functionality and we were not notified about it."
"Needs better integration with other Oracle/non-Oracle products."
"So far, the only issue I have is with the storage cloud."
"The product's high price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"I think there should be improvement with the speed and it should offer a more diverse selection of the suites that I can use."
"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."
"I would like to see more monitors for standard edition"
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is reasonable. It's not expensive, nor will it be cheap, but the free credits initially given provide leverage for new companies to start their businesses."
"We are currently paying for the solution on an annual basis."
"Pricing is good. It's average."
"The pricing depends on the workload. For example, if your workload involves Windows technologies, AWS may not be the most cost-effective option. In that case, you might be better off with Azure."
"As a startup business, it's very well priced, but if a number of transactions go up, clients have voiced that they are in a situation and feel a type of pressure and desire to move out of AWS."
"We pay a monthly licensing fee. It's below $100 a month."
"Reasonably priced and comparable to similar services."
"The price tends to be higher, but that is a usual case when prioritizing reliable backup solutions for servers and other infrastructure."
"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."
