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

"Alibaba Cloud has lower costs and good support."
"We use the solution to run VMs."
"What's good about Alibaba Cloud is its database service. It's also good in the virtual machine area."
"ECS is the most valuable feature of the solution."
"It is a scalable product. So, scaling up or scaling down is possible."
"We use the solution's AI features for data analysis."
"The most valuable feature of Alibaba Cloud is the communication it allows between two servers."
"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."
"Amazon Bedrock's main value lies in its LLM capabilities; these are not generally things you can host easily on SageMaker, and you have to build up custom environments, particularly if you want access to the proprietary models."
"The no-code application of the service is beneficial since it allows creating solutions without extensive coding knowledge."
"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 most valuable features of Amazon Bedrock include scalability, ease of access, having 20 to 25 plus pre-trained models, and scaling capabilities."
"It was absolutely useful and we found that we are getting 90 to 95% plus success rate while extracting the data from unstructured documents."
"Amazon Bedrock offers an environment where we only pay for the model we use, and AWS handles the scaling."
"The most beneficial aspect of Bedrock is its pool of models to choose from, catering to specific needs."
"The valuable feature of Bedrock is its flexibility and comprehensiveness in what it's offering, providing parameters that we can change."
 

Cons

"I wouldn't recommend Alibaba. I think other companies should just use Azure instead, as it's a much simpler solution."
"The majority of the tools and processes, in general, have a lot of room for improvement."
"I think that sometimes the customer service for Alibaba Cloud is inefficient.... Sometimes it's hard to reach out to them."
"It is not robust."
"I would not recommend the solution to others."
"Users use websites as a tutorial. However, the Alibaba Cloud website has the content, and the scripts are copied from Amazon Web Services. We had received customer feedback where the customer asked us to get formulate original content instead of copying from Amazon Web Services. It’s very odd and awkward."
"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."
"From the improvement point of view, there are lots of issues that we are facing. In all the areas, it seems like it is not mature."
"The end-to-end application setup integration was very difficult."
"It would be beneficial if Amazon Bedrock could provide multiple responses to a query, allowing users to choose the best option."
"Amazon Bedrock is quite highly scalable, but there are some limitations they impose on the accounts, which could be an area for improvement."
"The user interface of Amazon Bedrock on the management console needs improvements. It's very bland at the moment."
"Overall, I rate Amazon Bedrock a seven out of ten. It is slightly difficult to integrate with our product."
"The advantage of Bedrock is not as an amazing enabler of AI platforms, yet we utilize it to deploy application services and microservices within Bedrock ecosystem and leverage prequalified foundation models like Claude and others."
"However, their product is not as mature as Snowflake or Databricks."
"Amazon native models could proliferate Bedrock in the future. We would welcome Amazon native models to Bedrock since, if they are natively built by Amazon, they are tuned to SageMaker and other Amazon service layers."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Alibaba Cloud is cheaper."
"The cost of Alibaba Cloud is lower than that of AWS, but I feel that its price is on the higher end of the spectrum. Alibaba Cloud charges its users a price in dollars"
"The price of Alibaba Cloud is good. If I was to use Microsoft Azure I would have to pay 30 percent more."
"The product is not that expensive."
"Pricing for Alibaba Cloud is a little bit cheaper. It has reasonable pricing."
"The solution's pricing is the same as AWS'."
"The cost is better than similar solutions."
"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."
"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."
