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.

Advanced integration and flexible architecture drive efficient business solutions
I have to gain more maturity to provide some improvements to Amazon Bedrock. I have a lot to do with the environment they already provided. For example, they are able to connect to any LLM solution such as Llama, Meta, Gemini, or ChatGPT. It is open; you just choose your favorite LLM solution, and you can integrate it into Amazon Bedrock. We have a lot of possibilities to do this integration at this moment; we just need to work on it, create more maturity, and then we can provide some enhancements that we can see on the solution as a whole. 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. They wonder if they are providing some company information that can run away, and I think that is the challenge we have now. We need to find ways to work on it and make our clients' data secure. They are looking for that to guarantee that this is a great solution for companies that is also secure.

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."
"I rate Alibaba Cloud's scalability an eight out of ten."
"What's good about Alibaba Cloud is its database service. It's also good in the virtual machine area."
"We use the product for storage and as a VPN."
"We use the solution's AI features for data analysis."
"ECS is the most valuable feature of the solution."
"We use the solution to run VMs."
"Flexibility and costs were probably the most important thing for us. The cost was one of the big factors for choosing Alibaba Cloud relative to other cloud solutions, especially in Asia"
"The no-code application of the service is beneficial since it allows creating solutions without extensive coding knowledge."
"The impact of Amazon Bedrock's sophisticated natural language processing on our company's ability to predict future outcomes is very interesting because, before we were using some Python codes, we created server instances to upload it, and we had some difficulty integrating it with the ecosystem because all the features we were creating were manually based."
"The most valuable feature of Bedrock is its security and the model's ability to modify vector dimensions easily."
"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."
"The most beneficial aspect of Bedrock is its pool of models to choose from, catering to specific needs."
"Amazon Bedrock is easy to use and practical, allowing for quick development."
"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."
"Amazon Bedrock offers an environment where we only pay for the model we use, and AWS handles the scaling."
 

Cons

"The support offered by the tool is ridiculous."
"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."
"The user experience must be improved."
"Alibaba Cloud needs to increase availability in Thailand."
"From a performance point of view, Huawei and Azure are faster. Alibaba isn't as good."
"The majority of the tools and processes, in general, have a lot of room for improvement."
"The solution should have more integration."
"The flexibility of the solution could be improved."
"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."
"The user interface of Amazon Bedrock on the management console needs improvements."
"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."
"It would be beneficial if Amazon Bedrock could provide multiple responses to a query, allowing users to choose the best option."
"Bedrock could be improved by having an API that allows for easy integration with services outside of Bedrock."
"Amazon Bedrock is quite highly scalable, but there are some limitations they impose on the accounts, which could be an area for improvement."
"It would be beneficial if Bedrock were optimized for hyperscale use to avoid needing a mixed approach with SageMaker."
"One area for improvement is in cost—it tends to be a bit on the higher side, especially for enterprise versions."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I don't know the exact cost. It is cheaper than AWS."
"Pricing for Alibaba Cloud is a little bit cheaper. It has reasonable pricing."
"Alibaba Cloud is cheaper."
"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."
"We cut our costs significantly by migrating our infrastructure to the cloud. Alibaba Cloud employs a pay-as-you-go model, so that minimizes many costs for us."
"The product is not that expensive."
"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 solution's pricing is the same as AWS'."
"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."
