Featured Reviews

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.

Senior Oracle DBA at a financial services firm with 11-50 employees
Hybrid cloud has supported payment services and provides reliable networked virtual machines
There are no restrictions about usage of these virtual machines because Linux machines are used, and everything needed is installed on our own responsibility, as all applications are developed by vendors who produce them for us. This is why there are no restrictions felt in usage of cloud services. Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) offers good services, though the price could be lower than it currently is. AI and machine learning features of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) have not been used in production, as research is being conducted in this area. Services provided to customers are very well tested, and untested services are not offered to customers. Currently, research is being conducted on the usage of AI offerings through Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) or other vendors of AI tools.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"One of the most valuable aspects is that developers can access logs directly. They can download them from the AWS console within Elastic Beanstalk."
"AWS Elastic Beanstalk helps improve my efficiency, saves time, and streamlines application hosting in the cloud."
"I would rate the overall solution a ten out of ten."
"Elastic Beanstalk simplifies deploying and managing applications."
"Elastic Beanstalk is very easy to use, providing infrastructure to deploy our third-party application to the cloud within 15 to 20 minutes."
"The most valuable feature of Elastic Beanstalk is its ease of use and management."
"Elastic Beanstalk is helpful and easy to manage services, even when dealing with multiple clients."
"I highly recommend it to others and frequently discuss it with customers."
"Clients are able to reduce their costs by using Oracle Cloud."
"The security on the solution is very good."
"Overall, I would rate Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) as nine out of 10."
"The product gives you independence from hardware onsite, the setup is easy, and there is no need for hardware maintenance."
"Initial setup of databases is not a problem."
"This is a highly available and scalable solution that can host both modern and legacy on-premises applications."
"I find the Single Sign-On, SSO, feature to be valuable."
"Oracle is a very useful tool in terms of usability and customization."
 

Cons

"AWS Elastic Beanstalk could improve its auto-scaling feature to better detect potential AI-based attacks or misuses that could lead to unexpected costs."
"The documentation needs to be clearer, particularly relating to editing JSON files before uploading applications."
"From what I've observed, it seems AWS has ceased further development on Elastic Beanstalk."
"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."
"Elastic Beanstalk can enhance its customizability further, especially in terms of deployment options."
"One area where AWS Elastic Beanstalk struggles is with the complexity of deployments. As deployments become more complex, technical constraints can become a burden."
"Sometimes there are issues when auto-scaling with CloudFront."
"Sometimes it is difficult to use for the first time. The automatic scaling functionality could use improvement."
"Technical support for this solution is average. I contacted them last week and just received a message from them today."
"The functionalities could be simplified as it is a bit difficult to learn."
"The setup was not very simple but not complex either."
"The solution requires tighter integration capabilities."
"It should have other workloads from other suppliers running on the solution."
"I would like the Oracle Cloud Platform to have a more user-friendly UI similar to Microsoft Azure."
"With the Oracle Cloud Platform, they have to give first some proper documentation with a step-by-step process. Then the customer is able to use it properly. Nowadays, the Oracle Cloud Platform requires lots of floor work."
"The packaging part of the software needs improvement. It lacks customization abilities for users. Giving them VMs for machine learning or running their own programs like Azure and Amazon, for example. Things like scalability based on the requirement of the tools. Oracle still lacks these kinds of things. For example, if you need a VM from Oracle, you need to pay for a monthly fee. They started developing containership but it's still at the initial stage and it's still lacking. They also need to develop integration between packages."

"The price is fair, but we have to manage it to keep it low."
"Oracle Cloud Platform's pricing is comparable to other solutions, but it is definitely not cheap."
