Allows for automatic scaling of resources and provides built-in firewalls and security features, eliminating the need for external security solutions
One thing that's a bit different is that we're still accustomed to speaking to someone directly. AWS doesn't offer that kind of support. It's only through bots. You're speaking to chatbots, and that can sometimes be frustrating because there's no person on the other side. AI is not a substitute for a person. AWS marketplace is very strong, but somehow AWS doesn't promote it much. They have a huge customer base across the globe, and if products were launched in their marketplace, they could sell like hotcakes. They should improve their marketplace and promote the same product across the globe. They can take a cut, but they should promote it. That's something they don't do very much. So, AWS should promote its marketplace software. The company should promote it aggressively. Currently, they keep it very subtle. If you ask for it, they'll help you out. But they don't seem to advertise, "You're building a product on our platform? Why don't you sell it in our marketplace?" Improvement in AI: AWS is a little behind Microsoft Azure in terms of AI. AWS is still getting there, but the kind of examples and help files available in Azure for AI are much better. So AWS still needs to work on its AI functionality.
Saurav Singh - PeerSpot reviewer
Helpful support, useful UI console, and scales well
To ensure smooth provisioning, it is crucial to establish your requirements clearly from the outset. This is particularly important for projects where deployments can be easily facilitated through Terraform integration. By being precise about your initial requirements, you can save significant time and avoid delays. In our case, for instance, it took around six to seven months to complete the initial deployment due to unclear infrastructure needs. A substantial amount of time was spent understanding the existing architecture. Therefore, having a clear understanding of what is needed upfront and approaching the solution accordingly can be highly beneficial. I rate Red Hat OpenShift on IBM Cloud an eight out of ten. The solution does exactly what it says it does.
