Featured Reviews

Asif  Meem - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Machine Learning Engineer at sportsbet
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.

A scalable and stable solution that has good scalability and is easy to setup
It is a scalable solution. I have yet to have a scenario regarding automatic scale and if there's an increase in resource requirement or need. We have yet to have that scenario. We have yet to test that. The scalability was more than manually adjusting and increasing whatever I had to do. I rate it eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I believe it's a great product and great technology."
"The monitoring is the most valuable aspect of the product."
"AWS is not an expensive product."
"Our primary use case for Amazon AWS is for disaster recovery."
"Technical support is quite helpful."
"In general, Amazon's performance is good."
"We switched to it because of its ease of use, ease of deployment, and cost."
"The product is easy to use."
"The dynamic vertical scaling is a unique feature."
"The technical support is extremely helpful, and they have a very good support team."
"We almost don't have to maintain our servers."
"As a strategic solution, it's really good because it will avoid a lot of cost if you are building your data center, for example, or from scratch."
"The solution is scalable, and that is what we are looking at. There is no learning curve as we have not done much research."
"If you are looking for a great PaaS product, don't hesitate to check Jelastic!"
"The control is valuable. It's really easy to use and you have good control of your solutions."
"The advanced level of production-ready Docker hosting, one-click application deployment, and the truly flexible pricing."
 

Cons

"They need to improve the engines' availability of services since they have been reducing that availability."
"What I would like to improve about Amazon AWS is the pricing, which is quite expensive for us, and we would definitely try to lower our spending because we are using quite a lot of our budget on Amazon AWS."
"I think the product could be improved by simplifying the configuration."
"Scaling is an area that can be improved. For example, I would like to be able to change the amount of memory that is allocated to a server."
"There are plenty of areas for improvement. For example, the ease of tagging could be improved. The tool could integrate AI tools to identify better and manage costs. Calculating the cost of some services could be more straightforward."
"Amazon AWS could be improved by lowering the general storage price."
"Support response times can be improved, especially in areas where faster assistance is crucial."
"AWS could be more scalable."
"An S3 like storage system, if they have a s3 API compatible system I can move my files from AWS."
"The security layers also need to be improved because there is no clear layer or tier of security in the solution."
"The backup functionality needs to be improved."
"The backup features need improvement, or rather it should be added, as I could not find it."
"For now, some customers are requesting support of Docker containers for Windows."
"I would like to see better integration into enterprise storage products."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have a monthly subscription for Amazon AWS."
"In terms of price, there are less expensive options."
"The price is good and licensing fees are paid on a monthly basis."
"The price, in general, could be better."
"Amazon AWS is offering different pricing, and saving plans, it's very easy for a customer to consider the Amazon AWS service."
"Amazon AWS is a bit more expensive than Oracle."
"It is quite expensive in my very personal opinion. Going on-prem in a data center is, for sure, not as expensive as going to AWS, but when it comes to a point where you are raising and growing, it simply makes a lot of sense to stay in AWS. It is awesome in that way. I am not aware of any extra costs."
"The licensing cost varies with the project involved."
"I would rate the cost 3 out of 5. There are additional costs other than licensing fees."
"Pricing for providers is revenue-shared based. Providers should invest in hardware to set up the Jelastic cluster."
