Featured Reviews

Jayesh Patil - PeerSpot reviewer
Connectors and guardrails facilitate question-answer setups effectively
There isn't such an issue we have faced with Amazon Q regarding speed increasing. Syncing and indexing takes a lot of time, and they need to improve upon that. Remaining everything is good for us, and that is also acceptable as we can set it as a nightly job. Once it's done, it takes around one hour max for any number of documents. We were trying to address specific issues and challenges by implementing Amazon Q in our environment because currently, they don't provide any APIs directly. We find it difficult to integrate with our product. The second challenge is while connecting Jira, we need the ACLs to maintain our security, but it doesn't allow us to connect to Jira if our ACLs are on. We need to turn them off to connect to it. Even though we connected with the support team of AWS, they were not able to resolve our issue, so we were disappointed at that moment. As a part of improvement, we don't see any improvement areas for Amazon Q at present. We first need to test that we can integrate it with our product. We need the APIs before we can suggest improvements.

Data visualization and workflow efficiency improve with automated features
I do not have a business relationship with this vendor other than being a customer, and I was not offered a gift card or incentive for this review. We use other tech products such as Microsoft Excel and Slack. We can use my real name when publishing my review, along with my real company name. On a scale of 1-10, I rate Claude an 8.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Amazon Q saved my time more than other products, such as GitHub Copilot, because it is conscious about particular AWS services."
"The best feature of Amazon Q is that it has knowledge of my entire code base, entire repository, and its flows."
"The best feature of Amazon Q is the voice chat, where it talks back to you in normal language and you can query it."
"The support team from Amazon provides comfort because previously we used to think and implement, which took considerable time, and now we can complete our projects and requirements in three months or two months."
"The benefits of Amazon Q are that you don't need to build any code base at the backend to develop your RAG system or AI LLM-based summarization systems to do question-answer sets on the documents."
"The explanation and documentation capabilities are excellent."
"The best feature Amazon Q offers is the code security scan, which actually depicts the threat assessment of the code or whether a particular code snippet can be utilized by attackers to find loopholes."
"Amazon Q significantly reduced the time we spent on testing; it served as a great tool where we could ask questions, get answers, and complete testing efficiently."
"Overall, I rate Claude nine out of ten."
"Claude has positively impacted my organization, as evident from the metrics which show productivity doubling and turnaround time being cut in half."
 

Cons

"The model is not able to give answers properly with the traffic it is facing, so it needs to be scaled more."
"Even though we connected with the support team of AWS, they were not able to resolve our issue, so we were disappointed at that moment."
"Sometimes feedback is needed immediately. It takes a bit of time because there is a workload."
"While great for standard tasks, it sometimes struggles with more complex or multi-layered problems in large code bases."
"I discovered that the application logs me out automatically after some time, which becomes problematic as I then lose access to my chat history."
"The product could be improved by offering automatic integration with other solutions, such as the ability to read Excel or text files and automate processes this way."
