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.

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

"It is stable. For the cloud version, we require some installation platforms and we don't have a server with us right now. We require it from Amazon AWS. We can just plan and get the AWS server."
"We are loving this solution so far, and it has certainly reduced the time it takes to stack up new applications."
"The pricing model of Amazon AWS is very good because there is an option to pay for what you use only, you do not have to give any money upfront to use it."
"AWS is effortless to configure and has high availability."
"The solution offers easy provisioning and scaling on the fly."
"You can instantly scale resources up or down as needed, avoiding the need to build infrastructure from scratch."
"Everything is good. It is easy to use. The performance is good. It's also very economical."
"For those who are looking for a way to streamline replicating data (e.g. objects) from an AWS bucket in one region with a bucket in a different region you now have a new option."
"Demoing is always an expensive process, from procurement of hardware to installation of software, now it is easier, cheaper, and more elastic."
"Backing up and recovery for my domain is very easy and fast. In addition, applying patches and undoing applied patches is effective and easy to do."
"The solution's technical support is good."
"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."
"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."
"It is pretty easy to use."
"The auto-backup, incremental backup and restoration features can be invaluable for management."
"Developers deploy their builds and if we need to scale the environment we can do it quickly."
 

Cons

"I also use Google Cloud GCP and AWS cannot directly use the Azure EC2 consult. They could add that feature. Direct connection to the EC2 console server would be very useful."
"It's sometimes a challenge to manage billing on this platform. It takes a lot of labor to generate billing for our customers from the service on the cloud."
"Many of our clients prefer in-house cloud rather than the application data sitting in the infrastructure owned and managed by Amazon."
"The difficulty of the implementation depends on the project. We have a lot of very complicated and complex project which make the implementation more difficult."
"I'd like to see AWS implement consolidated billing for businesses operating under one group."
"However, I was a bit disappointed with the AWS representative for Brazil."
"Some features may be better in Azure or some other portal. AWS could add some of those features."
"AWS could be more scalable."
"The product is satisfactory but we need more training on managing the machine itself."
"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."
"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."
"So far, the only issue I have is with the storage cloud."
"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 has been built on Java technology but requires more integration with other APIs and CI tools."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"From a cost perspective, Amazon AWS is excellent. You need to pay for a license to use AWS, and the license could be cheaper, but in each of the cases and instances I've used AWS, there has been a good chance to save money."
"Billing for cloud services can be difficult at times."
"We are currently paying for the solution on an annual basis."
"Its pricing model is too complex."
"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."
"In comparison to Google Cloud Platform and Microsoft Azure, the database offered by Amazon AWS is relatively expensive. However, the database also offers rich features."
"When it comes to professional certification in AWS, I implore others to study hard before your exams because $300 is a painful waste of money if you fail."
"There are many variables involved in pricing service in AWS and overall the pricing is a bit on the higher side."
"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."
