Min HtetOo - PeerSpot reviewer
Chief Marketing Officer at Soft Intelligence
The solution is useful for application development, but the user interface and user experience must be improved
The product must be made easier to use. The design is a bit tricky. When we log in to the Alibaba Cloud Marketplace and browse products, they look very small. The user experience must be improved. Alibaba Cloud must increase its partner network and brand awareness in our country. It will give our customers more opportunities to scale and save in the long run.
Amal Amami - PeerSpot reviewer
Data Scientist Team Lead at Venarisecurity
Access to large language models has transformed how our team invokes APIs and creates reports
I may not be the right person to provide this insight or recommendation. I am not really following the progress in it. Some new features may have been implemented and I am not aware of it. I would have to go back to Amazon Bedrock for that information. Working on agentic tools and providing more capability on agentic AI is what was missing at the last time I explored Amazon Bedrock. As I recall now, I found some limitations or some models are not present in Amazon Bedrock sometimes while they are present in other platforms. There are new models that are coming, and sometimes I cannot find them in Amazon Bedrock. The limitation of region sometimes also caused some problems. Some models are found in regions and not in others, and the customers or the clients do not want the model to be hosted in a region different than their own. These are some limitations that we encounter sometimes while working on a product for a specific customer.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The installation is easy."
"I rate Alibaba Cloud's scalability an eight out of ten."
"When comparing solutions such as GCP, which is the same as Alibaba Cloud, and others such as Amazon AWS and Azure, Alibaba Cloud is the preferred solution in China."
"ECS is the most valuable feature of the solution."
"Otherwise, the cost of Alibaba Cloud is reasonable, and service-wise, it's also good because it has many available services worth trying."
"Alibaba support is responsive. When we create tickets in the Alibaba portal, they usually respond online or call me in five minutes."
"We use the solution's AI features for data analysis."
"The cost of hosting the solution is very reasonable; it's quite inexpensive and the solution is very secure."
"Data encryption while in transit and at rest is managed through Bedrock account."
"Amazon Bedrock is an artificial intelligence engine that allows me to upload analyses of the quality of customer support calls."
"Amazon Bedrock is very easy to configure and launch, and it takes care of the creation of Docker images with CodeBuild and putting the images into the ECR repository very simply and easily with the help of Agent Core and Amazon Bedrock Agent Core."
"It is the best solution in this category and is rated a nine out of ten."
"Amazon Bedrock enabled the use of huge models and the democratization of their use at comparatively low cost, if we host these models in the company."
"The valuable feature of Bedrock is its flexibility and comprehensiveness in what it's offering, providing parameters that we can change."
"It was absolutely useful and we found that we are getting 90 to 95% plus success rate while extracting the data from unstructured documents."
"One of the best features of Amazon Bedrock is that it is easy to use, and users do not have to worry about the infrastructure."
 

Cons

"A big area for improvement in Alibaba Cloud is its support. Another area for improvement in Alibaba Cloud is SDK-based service because sometimes, the SDKs don't work correctly. Support for API-based services also needs improvement in Alibaba Cloud because, at the moment, it's not that stable."
"If you want more accuracy, stability, and 24/7 customer support, primarily relying on the SDKs and APIs, you should think twice."
"Alibaba Cloud has some problems related to latency and connection issues. If you go for a cloud solution provider, you will need to access the Internet, which may result in latency and bandwidth issues, leading to slowness in operations."
"The user experience must be improved."
"I think that sometimes the customer service for Alibaba Cloud is inefficient.... Sometimes it's hard to reach out to them."
"The solution name is not favorable in some markets and could cause us some problems gaining customers."
"Alibaba Cloud needs to increase availability in Thailand."
"Customer support has a lot of room for improvement. There's just general documentation, general customer support, and general maturity of the processes are all lacking when compared to Amazon or Google."
"For companies in general, the main pain point or main issue related to Amazon Bedrock is security because they are not confident that all information is hidden by this kind of architecture."
"The initial setup of Amazon Bedrock is somewhat complex as it requires integration with two to three services."
"I would appreciate a greater focus on agentic Gen AI applications in Bedrock."
"Bedrock could be improved by having an API that allows for easy integration with services outside of Bedrock."
"What could be improved for Amazon Bedrock to make it more mature is that AWS needs to consider bringing their platforms together, and not having different ML and AI platforms."
"Amazon Bedrock is quite highly scalable, but there are some limitations they impose on the accounts, which could be an area for improvement."
"One area for improvement is in cost—it tends to be a bit on the higher side, especially for enterprise versions."
"It would be beneficial if Bedrock were optimized for hyperscale use to avoid needing a mixed approach with SageMaker."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of Alibaba Cloud is good. If I was to use Microsoft Azure I would have to pay 30 percent more."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a three out of ten."
"I'm not sure about the exact pricing, but let's just say if it cost a dollar for Amazon AWS, it was closer to 70 to 80 cents for Alibaba Cloud."
"I noticed on the pricing that it's quite expensive. It is the price you pay for making a practical choice for enterprise-level companies since it has so many features and it fits an enterprise-level company just like our company right now."
"I don't know the exact cost. It is cheaper than AWS."
"Alibaba Cloud is cheaper."
"The product is not that expensive."
"The cost is better than similar solutions."
"The cost of using Amazon Bedrock is quite high, as I incurred unexpected charges amounting to $130 USD within two weeks without actually deploying the model."
"One customer paid around $100 to $200 per month, which was significant given their overall infrastructure costs."
