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.

"We use the product for storage and as a VPN."
"Alibaba Cloud has lower costs and good support."
"The installation is easy."
"It is easy to set up."
"We use the solution's AI features for data analysis."
"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"
"Data encryption while in transit and at rest is managed through Bedrock account."
"The valuable feature of Bedrock is its flexibility and comprehensiveness in what it's offering, providing parameters that we can change."

"Bedrock offers various foundational models in one place."
"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."
"Amazon Bedrock is an artificial intelligence engine that allows me to upload analyses of the quality of customer support calls."
"It is the best solution in this category and is rated a nine out of ten."
"It was absolutely useful and we found that we are getting 90 to 95% plus success rate while extracting the data from unstructured documents."
 

Cons

"The solution’s user interface could be improved."
"It is not robust."
"The majority of the tools and processes, in general, have a lot of room for improvement."
"The solution needs to improve its graphical user interface."
"I think that sometimes the customer service for Alibaba Cloud is inefficient.... Sometimes it's hard to reach out to them."
"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."
"The support offered by the tool is ridiculous."
"Alibaba Cloud needs to increase availability in Thailand."
"Overall, I rate Amazon Bedrock a seven out of ten. It is slightly difficult to integrate with our product."
"While working with Bedrock, I incurred charges that were not explicitly mentioned in the pricing documentation."
"The end-to-end application setup integration was very difficult."
"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."
"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."

"It would be beneficial if Amazon Bedrock could provide multiple responses to a query, allowing users to choose the best option."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The solution's pricing is the same as AWS'."
"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 cost is better than similar solutions."
"Alibaba Cloud is cheaper."
"The price of Alibaba Cloud is good. If I was to use Microsoft Azure I would have to pay 30 percent more."
"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."
