Kunal Das - PeerSpot reviewer
Test Engineer at Happiest Minds Technology Limited
Quick automation has simplified my app deployments and has let me focus on data engineering
The overall experience with AWS Elastic Beanstalk was excellent. The performance made deploying and managing my application very easy, and it was really smooth and efficient. The automatic scaling can be improved so it can handle traffic changes more smoothly. I have given a rating of nine out of ten because auto scaling works reliably and it handles traffic spikes well with minimal manual effort needed. There is a balance between simplicity and control. I have not given a ten out of ten because sometimes the scaling decision can feel slightly delayed depending on the metrics. AWS Elastic Beanstalk is powerful, but not as advantageous or granular as ECS or EKS auto-scaling. Customization is good but not fully flexible for complex architectures.

Cost-effectiveness and pricing consistency support diverse high-intensity applications
The services of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) are quite competent when compared to AWS Cloud, and they are also lower in cost. We use compute, storage, and network services. A notable feature is Oracle Cloud Infrastructure's consistent global pricing, which is advantageous. Furthermore, applications using Oracle Database not only work seamlessly on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) but also benefit from a 25% offset on Oracle Database licenses.

Cons

"Logs and debugging can sometimes be cumbersome, and there could be a more seamless method to analyze application issues without relying heavily on CloudWatch, which would improve my experience."
"AWS Elastic Beanstalk could improve its auto-scaling feature to better detect potential AI-based attacks or misuses that could lead to unexpected costs."
"From what I've observed, it seems AWS has ceased further development on Elastic Beanstalk."
"Sometimes it is difficult to use for the first time. The automatic scaling functionality could use improvement."
"One area where AWS Elastic Beanstalk struggles is with the complexity of deployments. As deployments become more complex, technical constraints can become a burden."
"Elastic Beanstalk is powerful, however, it could be enhanced in areas where it abstracts infrastructure management, sometimes limiting advanced users who want granular control over resources like EC2 instances, networking, or load balancers."
"There are areas for improvement in Elastic Beanstalk, especially in the management part."
"The documentation needs to be clearer, particularly relating to editing JSON files before uploading applications."
"The solution is expensive"
"The solution needs to improve the discovery and assessment of the existing infrastructure."
"Lacking in additional PaaS services."
"In a future release, they could improve by adding some form of machine learning and artificial intelligence."
"I would like the Oracle Cloud Platform to have a more user-friendly UI similar to Microsoft Azure."
"The functionalities could be simplified as it is a bit difficult to learn."
"The solution does not follow a retention policy while taking ad hoc backups. Since it does not follow the retention policy, we had to do the manual task to check the backups."
"The framework from AWS is so good, I would like to see this feature in OCI."

"The solution is cheaper compared to Oracle E-Business Suite."
"There is an annual and a subscription option."
"The solution is free to use."

"The price is fair, but we have to manage it to keep it low."
