User Testimonials
	Amazon SimpleDB	Oracle Berkeley DB
Likelihood to Recommend	Amazon AWS Well suited for: Games, Chat rooms, real time software like corporate events, marathons and so. Anytime and anywhere you could use a NoSQL DB you should think of SimpleDB. As an arduous AWS user, Amazon SimpleDB easily integrates with EC2 and other AWS module; and if you are not an AWS user, you also have a fantastic tool that will solve the problem for which you are focused.

Pros	Amazon AWS Flexibility Easy to learn and use AWS integration Incentivized Miguel Angel Merino Vega Analista de Sistemas Read full review	Oracle No answers on this topic
Cons	Amazon AWS Non AWS environments Strict storage limit (but well we have DynamoDB for storage issues) Incentivized Miguel Angel Merino Vega Analista de Sistemas Read full review	Oracle No answers on this topic
Alternatives Considered	Amazon AWS It integrates beautifully with AWS. In some projects we use SimpleDB while we use DynamoDB for others, according to the characteristics of the project. If the infrastructure is AWS, we always think of one of them. Incentivized Miguel Angel Merino Vega Analista de Sistemas Read full review	Oracle No answers on this topic
Return on Investment	Amazon AWS Reduced database administration time Reduced data model analysis time Lower cost of resources in projects in general Incentivized Miguel Angel Merino Vega Analista de Sistemas Read full review	Oracle No answers on this topic
