Amazon Relational Database Service is a perfect fit for everyone who is seeking for an high-performance cloud-based database service. No matter if Postgres, Oracle, or any other type of relational database. Amazon RDS is our first choice for any kind of database requirement in the cloud. Especially I like the scalability.
Does data compression very well, produces query results very quickly, ability to scale up as data volume/size grow in an organization, row level versioning is in memory and hence the speed. It is a very stable product for large enterprises. More detailed documentation on how to use this product in the initial stages would be really welcome.Incentivized
Automated Database Management: We use it for streamlining routine tasks like software patching and database backups.Scalability on Demand: we use it to handle traffic spikes, scaling both vertically and horizontally.Database Engine Compatibility: It works amazingly with multiple database engines used by different departments within our organization including MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, and Oracle.Monitoring: It covers our extensive monitoring and logging, and also has great compatibility with Amazon CloudWatchIncentivized
Inserting millions of rows of data takes seconds.Aggregating billions of rows of data is insanely fast (compared to Oracle, Sybase, and SQL Server).Incentivized
It is a little difficult to configure and connect to an RDS instance. The integration with ECS can be made more seamless.Exploring features within RDS is not very easy and intuitive. Either a human friendly documentation should be added or the User Interface be made intuitive so that people can explore and find features on their own.There should be tools to analyze cost and minimize it according to the usage.Incentivized
The pricing schedule is a bit expensive and cumbersome.Licensing for a virtual machine is difficult to understand.Incentivized
We do renew our use of Amazon Relational Database Service. We don't have any problems faced with RDS in place. RDS has taken away lot of overhead of hosting database, managing the database and keeping a team just to manage database. Even the backup, security and recovery another overhead that has been taken away by RDS. So, we will keep on using RDS.Incentivized
I've been using AWS Relational Database Services in several projects in different environments and from the AWS products, maybe this one together to EC2 are my favourite. They deliver what they promise. Reliable, fast, easy and with a fair price (in comparison to commercial products which have obscure license agreements).Incentivized
I have only had good experiences in working with AWS support. I will admit that my experience comes from the benefit of having a premium tier of support but even working with free-tier accounts I have not had problems getting help with AWS products when needed. And most often, the docs do a pretty good job of explaining how to operate a service so a quick spin through the docs has been useful in solving problems.Incentivized
SAP IQ support is top-notch. I prefer starting all my SAP IQ support tickets with their Instant Messenger, where the majority of our issues are resolved. If it makes it to their ticketing system, they are very prompt at responding and very knowledgeable in the platform.Incentivized
the online training & digital content available on the web from AWS was having sufficient information to deploy and run the serviceIncentivized
In a few words, we are just to confortable working with oracle and sql server. Using RDS add another layer of distributed database in order to backup everything we have in case of a disaster and also complies with authorities locally and internacionally. All database we use, are local in custom servers that we maintain, but we agree to expand this.Incentivized
SAP IQ is perhaps an under-marketed product in the sense that it is able to scale up very well and perform much faster and more efficiently than other products such as Oracle - when we ran multiple large queries on both Sybase IQ and Oracle, we found that that results were much faster in Sybase IQ and this gave the confidence to go for this product.Incentivized
RDS is costly and thus small business should avoid it as it might not be worthful (in ROI perspective)Downtime is very low and there are automated backups thus we dont have to worry much about technical stuff and can focus more on marketing and salesDue to various automated features such as automated backup etc we dont need a huge technical team thus reducing the cost of maintaining a huge technical team ,Incentivized
The ROI over a number of years has been good. Seeing as how we use it for billing, it has an obvious ROI to us.As they have been modifying their licensing structure, it's been difficult to keep up and understand how they work.Incentivized
