You should go for using it in particular if you are going to be build code once run everywhere kind of things and you want to not write most of the backend on your own. As AWS Amplify can take care of a lot of backend things for you and you can manage most of the stuff from front end coding. perfect for using in react/ flutter apps. Additionally better to use when you are going to use other AWS service and don't want to scatter things around
FreeRADIUS is completely scalable and supports both large and small user databases. Because it doesn't take up a lot of server resources, FreeRADIUS is well-suited for organizations with small budgets (it's in the name!) and limited networking hardware. While there is a port of it for Windows, FreeRADIUS is native to Linux so that would be a limitation for many companies who don't use it.
Its AWS take on the Firebase kind of system for providing backend as a service. Although Firebase has advantage of bigger community, better documentation and code examples; AWS Amplify is creating its own space where you will be going to use AWS products and Infrastructure in your project. Amplify Dynamo DB and GraphQL have clear cut advantages that have no direct alternative in Firebase as real time db and firestore documents both lack versioning.
We previously used Microsoft Network Policy Server for our RADIUS authentication which works ok but was pretty clunky and requires Windows Server. Switching to FreeRADIUS brought our cost down to zero.
Because FreeRADIUS works natively in Linux it's easy to setup and works with all distros.
FreeRADIUS allows us to have user authentication for wifi which is much more secure than a simple shared password solution.
