Likelihood to Recommend It’s great for server less and real-time applications. It would be great for gaming and mobile apps. However, if you need relational database and have fixed budget, do not use it. While budget can be managed, you need to be careful.

Read full review Its dashboard is quite clear and visible. Its reports are very flexible and helpful for us since they contain all the information that is necessary. The content scheduling feature is good in facilitating us by publishing the content at the time we set.

Read full review Usability Functionally, DynamoDB has the features needed to use it. The interface is not as easy to use, which impacts its usability. Being familiar with AWS in general is helpful in understanding the interface, however it would be better if the interface more closely aligned with traditional tools for managing datastores.
Read full review Performance It works very well across all the regions and response time is also very quick due to AWS's internal data transfer. Plus if your product requires HIPPA or some other regulations needs to be followed, you can easily replicate the DB into multiple regions and they manage all by it's own.
Read full review Support Rating I have not had to contact support for this service, however I have had to contact AWS for other services and their support has been good.
Read full review Friendly, knowledgeable, willing to teach. Their satisfaction is reached when I get my problem solved.
Read full review Alternatives Considered The only thing that can be compared to DynamoDB from the selected services can be Aurora. It is just that we use Aurora for High-Performance requirements as it can be 6 times faster than normal RDS DB. Both of them have served as well in the required scenario and we are very happy with most of the AWS services.

Read full review Scalability I have taken one point away due to its size limits. In case the application requires queries, it becomes really complicated to read and write data. When it comes to extremely large data sets such as the case in my company, a third-party logistics company, where huge amount of data is generated on a daily basis, even though the scalability is good, it becomes difficult to manage all the data due to limits.
Read full review Return on Investment Some developers see DynamoDB and try to fit problems to it, instead of picking the best solution for a given problem. This is true of any newer tool that people are trying to adopt. It has allowed us to add more scalability to some of our systems. As with any new technology there was a ramp up/rework phase as we learned best practices. Read full review Company employees can easily locate product documentation now. Our team doesn't have to field nearly as many pings and calls from people looking for content. The writers can manage the content much more easily now. For example, multiple writers can work on individual topics as opposed to passing around Word files. We can single-source content that is duplicated across the site. This is a huge time saver.
