Building and handing off modern client websites has become faster and saves significant costs
Pros and Cons

    What is our primary use case?

    My main use case for Wordpress on Amazon Linux is that it has been a huge help in managing and creating websites for both my site, business, and faith-based organization. Through the use of the system, I am able to quickly and easily set up and launch a client's new website by customizing the theme, the client's preferences with colors, text, and layout.

    Because Wordpress on Amazon Linux tends to be very user-friendly, it is also easy to pass the management of the site over to the client.

    My clients usually find it very easy to take over this setup. Where support is necessary, I am always available to support them and cater to their needs effectively.

    I have found that from creation to the hand-off, it is very straightforward in creating clean and modern looking sites. Once the hand-off is complete, it is easy for the client to make small changes and updates on their own.

    What is most valuable?

    In my experience, the best features Wordpress on Amazon Linux offers include that Wordpress on Amazon Linux websites are easily customizable, Wordpress on Amazon Linux is very user-friendly and fairly intuitive, and Wordpress on Amazon Linux is very cost-effective.

    Platform has streamlined product updates and now supports seamless integrations and clean URLs
    Pros and Cons
    • "The best features Wordpress on Amazon Linux offers include seamless integration, uninterrupted uptime, supporting easy page creation and updating, and supporting in-site searches for web visitors so they can easily find the exact content they are looking for."
    • "One way Wordpress on Amazon Linux can be improved is that the GUI has not changed much in years and could afford to be made more modern."

    What is our primary use case?

    Wordpress on Amazon Linux is the content management system my team uses to build, develop, and update our company website. Wordpress is a very popular, mature program with many plugins and integration capabilities with other platforms. It is very easy to edit, and this allows us to easily edit HTML content, graphics, and PDFs when we update information about our products and accessories.

    Wordpress on Amazon Linux helps my team specifically when it comes to updating product information because it is easy to choose a template to create new product pages when we launch a new product. When we add an updated PDF to replace existing data sheets, we can maintain the existing clean URL, so our distributors who use that URL on their website do not have to make any changes.

    What is most valuable?

    I love that Wordpress on Amazon Linux integrates with Salesforce.com and HubSpot, allowing us to create Wordpress on Amazon Linux pages with forms and pass information on form submissions to Salesforce and HubSpot.

    The best features Wordpress on Amazon Linux offers include seamless integration, uninterrupted uptime, supporting easy page creation and updating, and supporting in-site searches for web visitors so they can easily find the exact content they are looking for. Integration with many other software platforms includes Salesforce, HubSpot, Zapier, event management apps, and more.

    Wordpress on Amazon Linux is very scalable and a flexible tool, making it very easy to use with an intuitive user interface.

    Wordpress on Amazon Linux positively impacts my organization by allowing us to correctly store product registration history. We have been able to switch to a more friendly platform to build the site in-house. After spending a few hundred dollars on Wordpress on Amazon Linux, plugins, and more, we ended up switching to put everything together and managing everything in one place.

    What needs improvement?

    One way Wordpress on Amazon Linux can be improved is that the GUI has not changed much in years and could afford to be made more modern.

    I would like to add that it would be great to have more security features enabled without relying on third-party external products.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I have been working in my current field for seven years and one month.

    What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

    My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing was that the setup cost was straightforward and easy. Licensing is very affordable, and the cost is also relatively very competitive.

    Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

    Centralized content hub has boosted collaboration and has accelerated our marketing workflows
    Pros and Cons
    • "Wordpress on Amazon Linux has positively impacted my organization by increasing collaboration between departments and between team members, and it is a very cost-effective tool that helps to save a lot of cost while offering expandable functionality far beyond other products."
    • "Wordpress on Amazon Linux can be improved by addressing the breaking changes with plugins and themes."

    What is our primary use case?

    My main use case for Wordpress on Amazon Linux is to host our corporate blog and website, which is primarily used by the marketing department to push out and update content. It also helps us to host our content all in one centralized location while also creating a pipeline of content to be pushed out across different content pillars.

    What is most valuable?

    The best features that Wordpress on Amazon Linux offers are that it is super easy to use, easy to navigate, easy to push out new content, and easy to have multiple users on the platform at the same time. It serves as a one-stop shop.

    Having multiple users on the platform helps my team by improving collaboration and speeding things up. It helps to improve departmental team-to-team collaboration in my organization and also helps to accelerate our processes. When we are working on a certain project, we are able to complete it on time and hand it over to our clients.

    Wordpress on Amazon Linux has positively impacted my organization by increasing collaboration between departments and between team members. Additionally, it is a very cost-effective tool that helps to save a lot of cost. It democratizes web content manipulation by being relatively easy to use, meaning content updates can be done inexpensively. It offers expandable functionality far beyond other products, meaning if there is something we want to do, we do not have to start over with other products.

    I can share that there is a measurable increase in content updates.

    What needs improvement?

    Wordpress on Amazon Linux can be improved by addressing the breaking changes with plugins and themes.

    I would note that security, backups, and updates are easily forgotten about.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I have been using Wordpress on Amazon Linux for the same six years.

    What was our ROI?

    I have seen a return on investment as collaboration has improved, leading to more customers, better outreach, and more sales as a result.

    What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

    My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is that it is very cost-effective.

    What other advice do I have?

    It is easy to populate the various sections in Wordpress on Amazon Linux and then see it get pushed live directly into our website.

    While the interface takes some time getting used to, there can be a steep learning curve for new users or content creators.

    I purchased Wordpress on Amazon Linux through the AWS Marketplace.

    I would rate this product a 9 out of 10.

    Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

    Hybrid Cloud

    If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?

    Rapid deployments have transformed how I launch secure learning and exam platforms for clients
    Pros and Cons
    • "Having a trusted source and ready-to-deploy Wordpress images has helped my workflow and my clients by speeding up deployment times and eliminating worries about the quality or security of the image."
    • "One of the key improvements needed for Wordpress on Amazon Linux is its marketing because I did not know it existed as a product within AWS until I read about it on online forums."

    What is our primary use case?

    My main use case for Wordpress on Amazon Linux is deploying school solutions for companies. A quick specific example of a school solution I have deployed using Wordpress on Amazon Linux is a learning platform for a school that needed to host exercises for their students. I have also worked with some other more corporate companies that needed to perform internal exams or questionnaires internally, and I used this solution to deploy this kind of product quickly.

    What is most valuable?

    The best features Wordpress on Amazon Linux offers, in my experience, include having an out-of-the-box Wordpress deployed on Amazon without having to pull images or search for safe places to download it. With this product, I already have a trusted source of images for Wordpress ready to be deployed in an EC2 instance.

    Having a trusted source and ready-to-deploy Wordpress images has helped my workflow and my clients by speeding up deployment times and eliminating worries about the quality or security of the image. It helps me and my company deploy a solution within minutes. Wordpress on Amazon Linux has positively impacted my organization by helping us go to market much faster. Instead of having to manually deploy the image myself or search for it online, I can press a few buttons and have it deployed, ready to be configured. The speed of deployment is a significant advantage.

    I have been able to launch around one hundred projects in this way, and while I do not have access to actual metrics, I am confident that none of those one hundred projects took more than ten minutes to deploy.

    What needs improvement?

    One of the key improvements needed for Wordpress on Amazon Linux is its marketing because I did not know it existed as a product within AWS until I read about it on online forums. I was ready to start deploying these instances myself using images not from Amazon Linux, but from other non-trusted sources until I learned about them in a forum. I think there may be a visibility problem.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I have been using Wordpress on Amazon Linux for over two years.

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    Wordpress on Amazon Linux is stable.

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    Wordpress on Amazon Linux is as scalable as AWS solutions. It depends on how I choose to deploy it, but it is indeed scalable.

    How are customer service and support?

    I have not had to use customer support, but I would say it is good.

    How would you rate customer service and support?

    Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

    I previously used Wordpress as a standalone installation and switched to Wordpress on Amazon Linux due to the reasons I mentioned earlier. In the past, I had to research where I was downloading it, check the version, and trust the source of the download. With the AWS image available, I eliminate those concerns and can simply install it.

    How was the initial setup?

    Wordpress on Amazon Linux has really easy integration capabilities with other tools or platforms I use because it is already prepared to be integrated with several services within AWS as part of the ecosystem.

    The performance of Wordpress on Amazon Linux under heavy workloads or high traffic depends on how it is deployed. If I use a single EC2 instance, I may face performance issues with a lot of traffic from many customers. However, in my example, using a load balancer with three instances supports up to nine hundred concurrent users with no issues.

    What about the implementation team?

    Managing and maintaining Wordpress on Amazon Linux over time is really easy because I have access to AWS tooling. Once the image is ready and configured, I can take a snapshot and use it as a baseline image for further deployment. Maintainability is really easy.

    What was our ROI?

    I have definitely seen a return on investment in terms of time saved. Although I do not have specific metrics, having Wordpress ready to be deployed in under ten minutes is something to be proud of. It is really easy to deploy Wordpress this way.

    What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

    My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing was very straightforward since AWS Marketplace provides all necessary information, and purchasing it is just a matter of a few clicks.

    Which other solutions did I evaluate?

    Before choosing Wordpress on Amazon Linux, I did not evaluate other options.

    What other advice do I have?

    I would rate Wordpress on Amazon Linux a ten out of ten.

    I chose ten because its ease of use, speed to deployment, and how up-to-date the documentation is, along with being close to the latest version, stand out most for me. I purchased Wordpress on Amazon Linux through the AWS Marketplace.

    The backup and disaster recovery process for Wordpress on Amazon Linux is straightforward. I can either use the Wordpress backup system with plugins, but I prefer to back up the entire volume where Wordpress is allocated. I ended up using AWS backup system, which is really easy to use.

    The flexibility of Wordpress on Amazon Linux when it comes to customization or adding plugins and themes is very high. I can use any plugin from the marketplace, and it works just like any other Wordpress.

    My advice for others looking into using Wordpress on Amazon Linux is to trust the image, as it will prevent headaches associated with using a pre-provided image by AWS. The pricing is minimal, so there is no reason not to use it. My overall rating for this product is ten out of ten.

    Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

    Public Cloud

    If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?

    Amazon Web Services (AWS)

    • "Wordpress on Amazon Linux can be improved in some ways, like by providing some tools that allow us to upload our theme or website contents and related website things, and also regarding certificate rotations to make it easy, and it can be better in sessions."

    What is our primary use case?

    We are using Wordpress on Amazon Linux for hosting our WordPress websites, customizations, and themes. We have one e-commerce website that we have hosted on Amazon Linux on Wordpress, and we are currently running our website on that.

    What is most valuable?

    The best features Wordpress on Amazon Linux offers include speed better than Windows Servers, being cheap, and the ability to enter into the server and customize based on my preference or based on what I want.

    Regarding the speed improvements I have noticed compared to Windows Servers, on Windows Server, startup times and other startup application times took time to boot up our machine and server, and also website. Using Linux, it has become faster with not much boot time or startup times.

    Regarding cost, Windows has some licensing and server fees that are very high, but on Linux, we do not have that much cost, so using Amazon Web Services (AWS) has become cheaper as we do not have to pay that much money compared to Windows.

    Wordpress on Amazon Linux has positively impacted our organization by saving us lots of time, effort, and cost. About 20 to 30% of our time has been saved.

    What needs improvement?

    Wordpress on Amazon Linux can be improved in some ways, like by providing some tools that allow us to upload our theme or website contents and related website things, and also regarding certificate rotations to make it easy, and it can be better in sessions. I want to see sync file upload features.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I have been using Wordpress on Amazon Linux for around six to seven months.

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    Wordpress on Amazon Linux is stable, but it can be improved.

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    Wordpress on Amazon Linux has scaled our infrastructure very much better, so scalability is good.

    How are customer service and support?

    Customer support is good; we have reached customer support one or two times, and the support is good.

    Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

    We have been using Windows Server for our WordPress because Windows was becoming expensive for us, and we have switched to Wordpress on Amazon Linux.

    How was the initial setup?

    I purchased Wordpress on Amazon Linux through the AWS Marketplace. My experience with pricing is that it is not that much, and the setup is easy using the marketplace AMI; we just need to add our details, so it is easy.

    What about the implementation team?

    We are just using it without any business relationship with the vendor other than being a customer.

    What was our ROI?

    We have saved about 20-30% of our time, and regarding money, we can say that 30-40% of our money is also saved.

    Which other solutions did I evaluate?

    We did not evaluate other options, as we had a mindset that we wanted to use Amazon Linux for WordPress.

    What other advice do I have?

    On a scale of 1 to 10, I would rate Wordpress on Amazon Linux an eight. I chose eight out of ten because it needs some improvement. You can use Wordpress on Amazon Linux if you want to save your time, save your money, and want everything handy, such as every patch, update, and other things that you want to manage by yourself. I would rate this product an 8 overall.
