Featured Reviews

Managed real-time data has powered low-latency personalization and reduced operational effort
Aerospike Cloud Managed Service can be improved in several ways. The learning curve is a challenge for beginners, especially compared to MongoDB or Redis, which are more user-friendly. Additionally, there is a smaller ecosystem with fewer tools and communities compared to MongoDB and Redis. While the managed service cost can be expensive for startups, large media enterprises may not feel the financial burden. Performance tuning is needed, as some areas still require faster processing for customers. We still receive complaints about the time it takes to load ads, and the query flexibility is limited, lacking a rich query language such as SQL or document databases. The needed improvements for Aerospike Cloud Managed Service include transparent pricing tiers similar to MongoDB Atlas, better developer enterprise UI for simplicity, a larger ecosystem and integration, simplified onboarding tutorials, and native analytics with stronger SQL-like query layers.

Outsourcing cloud operations has improved uptime and supports 24x7 incident monitoring
CDW Managed Cloud Services is useful for cloud operations, but there are areas for improvement such as pricing transparency and the onboarding process. Cloud migration and onboarding may require detailed planning and coordination, indicating that transitioning workloads and support responsibilities can take time. Another needed improvement is the dependency on an external managed team. Organizations may rely on a third-party provider for some operational activities, and there is a need for improvement from CDW Managed Cloud Services since internal teams may depend on external escalations or support processes. Regarding the onboarding process, cloud migration and onboarding may require detailed planning and coordination, indicating that transitioning workloads and support responsibilities can take time. Reporting granularity, including more customizable reporting and dashboard depth, could also improve operational insights, as teams may want deeper cloud performance or cost breakdown reports.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Saving data into Aerospike in a NoSQL format is beneficial."
"Aerospike Cloud Managed Service has made everyone's life easier and reduced the efforts involved in the learning curve, helping us save around twenty percent of our time."
"Aerospike is a NoSQL database, allowing us to store extensive data and perform read and write operations rapidly, resolving our inventory-related performance issues."
"Almost 4x improvement happened when we moved to Aerospike Cloud Managed Service."
"After switching to Aerospike Cloud Managed Service, I have seen positive changes, including cost savings and the service being completely managed by the Aerospike team itself."
"Our expectations have been met in terms of services delivered on time, on budget, and on spec."
"Everything has been kept to what we planned on for budgeting. CDW Managed Cloud Services has met all the requirements there, and exceeded it in some cases."
"It has freed up staff time by not having them work on managing the infrastructure. We are able to spend time doing application administration, focusing on the long-term strategy of where we are going. The impact is that we are able to better leverage our investment in our application technology and offload infrastructure to CDW as part of their managed services."
"CDW Managed Cloud Services acts as a gateway between us and Microsoft, providing highly technical resources that save us from going to Microsoft frequently and reduce costs since Microsoft support depends on hours purchased."
"CDW Managed Cloud Services has found pitfalls and various things in the infrastructure, e.g., in routes, IP ranges, and security loopholes, that didn't need to be there. They stripped it down and went to a very flat topography, making it less complicated. So, there are less things to trip over and go wrong, which means less downtime."
"In regards to the cost of CDW Cloud Managed Services, when I consider the costs of engineering resources that can work in multi-cloud environments, the cost of downtime, and the cost of the time to reconcile complex bills from cloud providers, the benefit is immeasurable."
"CDW Managed Cloud Services has impacted my organization very positively, with reduced operational overhead, improved cloud performance and reliability, better security and compliance posture, and enhanced business continuity."
"CDW has performed great from a project management standpoint. We had set up our environment with our knowledge of how to set up the virtual servers in the cloud. They came back and did an analysis to help us with our savings. This was something we hadn't thought about, but actually helped us reduce some of the costs. The cost savings was about a third of the cost over three years."
 

Cons

"One improvement I think Aerospike Cloud Managed Service could make is adding more customizations because we have less control on the underlying infrastructure."
"Aerospike Cloud Managed Service can be improved in several ways. The learning curve is a challenge for beginners, especially compared to MongoDB or Redis, which are more user-friendly."
"Overall, I think Aerospike Cloud Managed Service is quite good, but I believe the UI console is functional and could be made better."
"Enhancing performance would be beneficial."
"Enhancing performance would be beneficial. While it is already fast, the industry is continuously moving towards even faster solutions, and performance issues can become apparent."
"CDW Managed Cloud Services needs to implement a chatbot and enhance their AI capabilities."
"CDW Managed Cloud Services is useful for cloud operations, but there are areas for improvement such as pricing transparency and the onboarding process."
"What I dislike about CDW Managed Cloud Services is that sub-configurations are somewhat of a headache."
"The ticket system is a little clunky for Managed Cloud Services. There is no ticket category for Managed Cloud Services, per se. It's a little awkward when trying to find a way to put a ticket in. It's just not streamlined enough and doesn't take you step-by-step. And it doesn't seem to have all the categories I need. If I'm putting in a ticket for AWS or AppStream, there is no category for them."
"CDW Managed Cloud Services is performing very well overall, but the optimization can be improved in terms of loading the page."
"They can maybe improve the scheduling."
"CDW Managed Cloud Services can be improved in many ways, specifically in terms of operational efficiency, better management of cloud operations, and reduced manual efforts."
"CDW Managed Cloud Services needs to work on the costing for the license part, making it more affordable would be beneficial."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"We have used CDW’s free Recommendation Engine. That is what we use for the cost savings. It helped us find places to reduce our cloud costs."
"CDW Managed Cloud Services will not be cheaper than what you are doing on-premises. It will be more expensive."
"A lot of people see the cost, and they are like, "Well, that is a lot if we already have an internal IT person." It's like, "Well, you're not just getting that." You are getting access to resources and peace of mind, to say, "I don't have to worry about this server dying at 2:00 in the morning because these guys will handle it." I will wake up, and if there would have been a problem, it would have been addressed. It would have been notated and fixed."
"The biggest factor for us was cost, and at the time, CDW Managed Cloud Services was most efficient for what we needed."
"The cost is very competitive and appropriate for what we get."
"It is a little more complex than I would like, but I think that's more AWS than CDW. CDW actually saves us money in regards to the way they handle things. We get support without a six-figure commitment from the AWS side, and that's appreciated."
