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."
"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"
"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."
"I rate Alibaba Cloud's scalability an eight out of ten."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy for me since I had a background in cloud products."
"ECS is the most valuable feature of the solution."
"Alibaba Cloud allows for easy setup of mirror sites and backup servers, ensuring data redundancy and high availability."
"The most valuable feature of Bedrock is its security and the model's ability to modify vector dimensions easily."
"The most beneficial aspect of Bedrock is its pool of models to choose from, catering to specific needs."
"The integration with pre-trained AI models has been very beneficial, allowing me to quickly access powerful machine learning models without the need to build them from scratch."
"The valuable feature of Bedrock is its flexibility and comprehensiveness in what it's offering, providing parameters that we can change."
"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."
"Bedrock proved beneficial for generating SQL queries, which helped in delivering precise information from the database."
"Overall, I rate Amazon Bedrock ten out of ten."
"Data encryption while in transit and at rest is managed through Bedrock account."
 

Cons

"Alibaba Cloud needs to increase availability in Thailand."
"The solution needs to improve its graphical user interface."
"The flexibility of the solution could be improved."
"The user experience must be improved."
"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."
"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. For example, a customer wants to provision some VM that has many configurations. If I want to show the price to the customer, it is very challenging. The SDK that Alibaba has provided is very limited. We can have the pricing for VM, but we cannot have pricing for RDS databases or some other services. This is a big concern area for us. They should put more effort into the SDKs or APIs that they provide, for example, pricing APIs or pricing SDK. They do not provide support for most of the services they provide. For example, if I want to get the price of MongoDB, that SDK is not available from Alibaba. Similarly, robust API support is required for S3, which is OSS or Object Storage, so that we can read the data in a faster manner, for example, in chunks. We have raised many issues with the Alibaba support team, and they have been fixing the issues after we report them."
"The support offered by the tool is ridiculous."
"The solution’s user interface could be improved."
"It would be beneficial if Amazon Bedrock could provide multiple responses to a query, allowing users to choose the best option."
"One area for improvement is in cost—it tends to be a bit on the higher side, especially for enterprise versions."
"Bedrock could be improved by having an API that allows for easy integration with services outside of Bedrock."
"While working with Bedrock, I incurred charges that were not explicitly mentioned in the pricing documentation."
"It would be beneficial if Bedrock were optimized for hyperscale use to avoid needing a mixed approach with SageMaker."
"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."
"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."
"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

"Pricing for Alibaba Cloud is a little bit cheaper. It has reasonable pricing."
"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"
"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 cost is better than similar solutions."
"The solution's pricing is the same as AWS'."
"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."
"The product is not that expensive."
"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."
