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

"It works pretty seamlessly."
"The availability is good, you can get any service you need immediately."
"The most valuable features of Amazon AWS are the EC2 instance for web applications with CDN Networks."
"I think Amazon AWS is easy to use, and it's a good service."
"As a service vendor, we have helped clients to achieve faster "go to market" on their products, and have provided highly flexible cost-effective system management solutions."
"I like ETL, the EC2 platform, and Route 53. These features are a great complement to the basic infrastructure of any company. The AWS platform has many features, but the fundamental cloud infrastructure is the most important."
"So far, so good, it has met every challenge we have provided, it has worked, never failed, we have never experienced any kind of downtime, and we are very happy so far."
"There is no downtime. The solution is reliable."
"Artisan Infrastructure is a pure business continuity and DR solution, which means no other solution can compete with it."
"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."
"This solution could be improved by a better licensing model, especially for third-party software."
"The networking is overly complex."
"Amazon AWS could improve on security."
"I'd like to see AWS implement consolidated billing for businesses operating under one group. We want to consolidate the functionalities but keep the billing separate. That is a challenge we've faced, and I feel it's something they can improve on. For example, maybe you have three businesses that are operating under one group, and you want each entity to have a separate bill for the respective workload that they're using."
"It should be easier to monitor the performance and generate analytic information so that we can determine how to provide better support for our clients."
"I don't have complaints. Previously, we asked for more end-to-end workshops, examples, and tutorials and these have been added and improved."
"The pricing is reasonable but there is always room to be better."
"What needs improvement in Artisan Infrastructure is compatibility with Linux because it only works on Windows."
"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 pricing is fair."
"It is very expensive, you have to be very cautious."
"It's pay-as-you-go... but I think the pricing becomes a problem as the IT organization grows. They need to give better pricing when companies grow."
"The cost is on a monthly basis."
"AWS is cost-effective because it saves time. Faster deployments and testing make it very valuable."
"It is subscription-based, and we are happy with its pricing."
"I find that Amazon AWS is expensive."
"One of the best-kept ways to reduce costs is to develop it on serverless technologies with AWS Lambda, SNS, DynamoDB, and S3."
"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."
