Managed cloud services have helped accelerate experiments with flexible configuration options
Sometimes the costs associated with spinning up a service, especially managed services, have implications. For example, if I create a Glue job, that will create S3 buckets and other resources that have cost implications, but once I clean up a Glue job, it does not delete the other accessory resources. Sometimes, I have to go hunting for what resources Amazon AWS might have provisioned and how it is costing behind the scenes. It can be complex depending on your level of expertise. It is not as easy to get started, especially when it comes to secure practices. Amazon AWS is more hands-on than other platforms.

Stable, scalable, has zero RTO, and a knowledgeable technical support team
What I like best about Artisan Infrastructure is that it has zero RTO, and that's the beauty of this solution because that feature isn't provided by other solutions right now. Artisan Infrastructure is a pure business continuity and DR solution, which means no other solution can compete with it. It also has the capability of being a service cloud.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I like the auto-scaling functionality and compliance requirements, whichever they are requesting."
"I think Amazon AWS is easy to use, and it's a good service. I also like Amazon EKS because it's good."
"I like many features, like the recently released useful analytics features. There are many from the data analytics or database side."
"The AWS feature that I most enjoy is Lambda functions. I primarily use serverless components because they allow you to process things without having to compromise on resources like when running EC2 instances or virtual machines. With minimal effort, you can scale up an unlimited number of processes, even concurrently, to process things. I frequently work with web APIs, so I use Lambda a lot in this area."
"The solution works very quickly compared to the SQL Server on Tran, and we can access it from anywhere."
"Of course there are other cloud providers, but AWS is far the best on both technology and stability."
"Management of code and assets has become extremely simple."
"The most valuable resource is the elastic feature which allows us to not worry about rising or declining demand."
"What I like best about Artisan Infrastructure is that it has zero RTO, and that's the beauty of this solution because that feature isn't provided by other solutions right now. Artisan Infrastructure is a pure business continuity and DR solution, which means no other solution can compete with it. It also has the capability of being a service cloud."
 

Cons

"The price needs improvement."
"I think that the interface could be improved."
"They do not yet have a complete solution for APM monitoring. But this, along with real user monitoring, is something that they are actively working on improving."
"They should really consolidate and make things simpler rather than offer you hundreds of random options. The way everything is arranged really forces users to figure out everything on their own and then, on top of that, to calculate the total costs. There's an infinite number of combinations even just with cost calculations. It's just too much."
"They can launch the Oracle service in Azure, and we expect that this should be possible in Amazon AWS as well."
"More complete and specific training for many of the technologies, specifically with Python Django and the CMS (Mezzanine)."
"AWS could be more scalable."
"Pricing is the one feature everyone wants AWS to improve."
"What needs improvement in Artisan Infrastructure is compatibility with Linux because it only works on Windows. I also wish to see some new features in Artisan Infrastructure. In the next release of Artisan Infrastructure, I'd like it to have integration with both Linux and Mac."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is good and licensing fees are paid on a monthly basis."
"Pricing is an area that can be improved because it is very complicated. It considers the number of processes, bandwidth, and different kinds of usage. This makes it difficult to predict."
"Monthly licensing fee."
"Licensing fees depend on the contract. It can be monthly or on-demand resources."
"One of the best thing in Amazon AWS is you are billed for the service you use."
"We are not happy with the general price and find most of Amazon's products to be quite expensive."
"This solution offers good pricing."
"The solution is expensive, and I rate it an eight out of ten."
"Pricing for Artisan Infrastructure is competitive, though it's a little bit high because it's an excellent solution. You can expect a higher price if you buy a solution that works well. The cost of Artisan Infrastructure would depend on the server size. If I were to rate the price for Artisan Infrastructure, I'd give it a three out of five."
