"Scalability is one of the biggest benefits we have."
"Cloud Management has been a valuable feature."
"This solution is a good option if you are looking for cloud-based storage. Using a cloud-based solution, it is not required to accommodate a full workload. You can start with a basic version and scale up as needed."
"Amazon AWS is good in terms of deployment and user experience. Their certificate management and load balancer are also good features."
"It has a lot of new features that make our lives easier in terms of what we want it to do in the house."
"We have many projects where we can resolve a lot of issues with Amazon AWS. It has given customers a lot of visibility with their data. Many customers do not know what they can learn from their data and I provide them with this using useful information using Amazon AWS."
"We like the that, within the public subnet of this solution, a new instance of the tool is launched when it detects an issue, in order to prevent interruptions in performance."
"Very good automation and very stable."
"Improved our speed to bring our mobile applications into productive use in a cost-effective way."
"Scalability is one of the benefits that we have in using the product."
"The mapping transformation allows us to connect our on-premise ECC to the cloud system."
"The integration flows are the most valuable feature of this solution."
"The most valuable feature is integration."
"The entire SAP ecosystem is a valuable feature. It provides access to SAP S/4HANA, ACG systems, and their Fiori launchpad, making it easy to navigate between them. This makes the enterprise very accessible."
"The features I found most valuable are the integration options."
"The most valuable feature is the data synchronization, or the push and pull of the data."
"Its subscription model or pricing model is too complex, which should be improved."
"While feasible, custom configuration will be more time consuming than standard."
"AWS is very expensive."
"One problem is that the AWS public cloud doesn't have shared storage capabilities. The second thing is the cloud performance versus on-prem."
"Identity and access management on AWS could be straightforward."
"I'd like to see AWS implement consolidated billing for businesses operating under one group. We want to consolidate the functionalities but keep the billing separate. That is a challenge we've faced, and I feel it's something they can improve on. For example, maybe you have three businesses that are operating under one group, and you want each entity to have a separate bill for the respective workload that they're using."
"The problem with AWS is you have to keep up with the technology. If you don't stay up to date with the technology and its latest changes then you won't know what to use in your infrastructure."
"The web console of AWS is not so user-friendly."
"The addition of more industry use cases would be an improvement."
"The tool's UI is not very intuitive for cloud integration, so it needs research to understand its options and how it may work."
"The areas I think this solution should improve are monitoring and adapting."
"Usability is a challenge most of the time and not being able to get all of the information."
"In the next release, I would like to see improvements with the price and the licensing."
"I can’t speak to features that may be missing."
"My impression of the stability is that it is not good. Almost every month there is something new and that makes us nervous about delivery."
"Shows errors without providing any analysis."
