Amazon AWS Reviews

We used it for hosting our ERP and databases and the applications that we develop for working with our customers. We are using a lot of Amazon AWS services. It is a mixed environment, and we have a lot of components.

The capacity to grow dynamically based on our needs is most valuable. We can increase resources dynamically. It is also very reliable and fast to implement.

Their support can be improved. In some cases, their support is not as proficient as it can be. They should be quicker at getting back.

I have been using this solution for two years.

It is stable.

It is scalable. It is very easy to scale if you need more resources. We have around 150 users of this solution in our company.

They need to be faster.

It was very easy and fast.

I would rate Amazon AWS a nine out of ten.

We primarily use the solution for our partner.

We are using it for moving all the banking and insurance domains from on-premises systems to the cloud platform, which is managed by services. It is right from data integration, data inception to data processing, to advanced visualization and analytics. We are also using the AI and machine learning aspects as well.

We have been using the data ingestion. 

There are native tools which are AWS Glue, which we are using for data integration. 

We also use the Spark and Python-based integration which are both very good. 

The solution has very good Lambda functions within AWS.

We also use AWS Redshift for data modeling along with the integration with Snowflake.

The solution is very stable.

The scalability is excellent.

We've found the initial setup to be quite simple and straightforward.

Technical support is pretty good.

The pricing could be more competitive.

There need better integration tools whereby you could have widgets. It already technically has this, however, if they had widgets that could help with the journey from an on-premises legacy database management system, that would be ideal. There should be some accelerators that can convert and automate data pipelines into AWS so that users don't have to start from scratch. 

Basically, if we had accelerators and tools that can help fast track and leverage existing data schemas, models, and then also, data pipelines that are already set up, it would help items to be quickly migrated rather than doing everything from scratch on the cloud.

We've used the solution for a couple of years. It's been a while.

The stability of the solution is very good. The product does not have any bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable. 

The solution is the number one cloud product. It is extremely salable. A company shouldn't have any trouble expanding it.

From a user perspective, I would say from accounts, we are primarily into banking and insurance. We have around four to five of our banking accounts using it. They are a mid-scale bank. 

We do plan to continue using the product.

Technical support is good. Overall, they are the number one cloud provider and they have an overall very high market capitalization. The support they have on offer is very good. We're satisfied with the level of service they offer.

We have also used the Azure platform as well.

The initial setup is easy. It's not overly complex. The deployment depends, however, it could take a few hours to maybe a day, as it is platform and software as a service. It is all managed by AWS. The installation and management require a bare minimum configuration.

The cost structure could be better. It needs to be more transparent. After COVID, it is competing directly with Azure - which is a bit more of a cost-effective option. It's also competing directly with Google. If they were cheaper, they would be much more competitive in the space.

From a licensing perspective, the cost of ownership is based on usage. 

We are consultants.

We are using the latest version of the solution. I cannot recall the exact version number at this time.

I'd rate the solution at a nine out of ten. We've enjoyed its capabilities so far.

I would recommend this solution to other companies and organizations.

There's a lot of due diligence which happens before organizations choose cloud solutions and then, of course, it needs to fit into the scenario. There is a cost-benefit analysis that has to be performed. It's a good idea to compare it to other platforms as well. Companies need to make sure it factors in the strategic landscape and the tools and technologies that the organization already has. If clients need assistance, we do participate in those strategic initiatives.

It is very easy to set up. It is also easy to use. 

It has a lot of services and integrations. We've been able to integrate whatever we need until now.

Its subscription model or pricing model is too complex, which should be improved.

I have been using this solution for three years. 

It is stable. We have not seen any issues so far.

It is scalable.

We have interacted with them. They are good, and we've not had any issues with them.

It is very easy to set up.

Its pricing model is too complex.

I would advise others to do a test before going ahead and buying it. They should look at other cloud options as well. If you are going to use mostly Microsoft products, then go with Azure. For non-Microsoft products, go with AWS.

I would rate Amazon AWS an eight out of ten.

We use this solution for the EC2, and IAM Management, and Lambda. I am using this solution to gain more knowledge, to educate myself.

I like that is very easy to use and that it's flexible.

The price needs improvement.

I have been using this solution for one month.

We are using the latest version.

It's a stable solution.

It's a scalable product. I am the only user of this solution.

We plan to continue using this solution.

I am a beginner, I am satisfied with the support.

I did not use any other solution.

There is no installation, it's a cloud solution.

It's expensive.

It should be cheaper.

I would recommend this solution to others who are interested in using it.

I would rate Amazon AWS a nine out of ten.

We are using it for File Transfer Protocol (FTP) services. We are using it for file transfers from the US to India via FTP.

It is flexible. It is quite comfortable to use for organizations.

It just needs to be improved from the security perspective.

I have been using this solution for five years.

It is stable.

It is scalable. We have 200 to 300 users currently, and we might increase its usage.

We don't have any challenges with technical support. We are fine with it.

There isn't much installation. It is just about hosting things, which doesn't take that much time. It was quite easy configuration-wise and implementation-wise.

We did it ourselves.

We evaluated Azure and other products.

I would recommend this solution. I would rate Amazon AWS a ten out of ten.

There are different services, approximately 150 of them, this solution can provide. There are a few services I most commonly use. I am using it for the virtual servers, Lightsail which are lightweight virtual servers, and a simple storage service which is called S3.

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.

I have been using the solution for three years.

We have approximately 15 users using the solution in my organization.

The scalability of the solution all depends on the services that you are using. It is very easy to scale in the cloud if you want to launch multiple servers and if you want to vertically or horizontally scale up the servers. It can support many environments such as Windows and Linux.

The support is fast at responding and resolving issues.

I have used Microsoft Azure and DigitalOcean previously.

The solution is an on-demand service. There is a monthly billing requirement which is for the virtual machines we currently use.

The solution is expensive compared to other providers because you need many of the services and it can add up fast.

I recommend this solution to others and I plan to use the solution in the future.

I rate Amazon AWS a ten out of ten. 

We use this solution for everything. It's our infrastructure. You can have long-term or short-term storage. You can have elastic servers, analytical AI, machine learning services, and API services.

It's a flexible solution.

The interface is relatively complex. It's not complex when you compare it to Azure, but with some other competitors, it is a little complex.

The interface could be simplified. It's an area that needs improvement, as well as the price.

I have been using this solution for five years.

We are using the latest version. It's always kept up-to-date by Amazon.

It's a stable solution.

It's a scalable product. Everyone in our organization is using this solution. We have 100 users.

We are not sure if we are going to continue using this product. We may move to Azure or GCP. We haven't made that decision.

You have support but not very much. It's all do-it-yourself and you figure it out for the most part.

You have outside consulting firms that provide the support. 

We use Azure, just for backups.

There is nothing to install, it's cloud. It's easy.

The prices are a bit high. But they are the first ones on the market to really do this and they have a monopoly on it.

Depending on what you get, you will have to pay for a license. For example, if you get SQL Server, which is a Microsoft product, you need to pay for a license. If you get other products, you may have to get a license. They will provide that or they will sell it to you.

In some instances, it may be, that you bring your own licenses.

Azure has better services for some aspects, and Google GCP has obviously got some competing products. I think each provider has its benefits, advantages, and disadvantages.

I would rate Amazon AWS an eight out of ten.

We use Amazon AWS for cloud deployment of Automation Anywhere tool.

It should be more secure and have more integrations. 

I used Amazon AWS for about three months.

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.

It's scalable.

We have one contact person for our organisation. Through him, we gave him our requirements, and he arranged all those things about AWS for our installation. We gave him the details of the quantity of RAM & hard disks, and our expectations.

It's perfect to use.
