Overall Satisfaction with Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2)
We use EC2 within our R&D department as well as our security division for the purpose of having a segmented and easy to scale environment for testing and for secure remove server access in the case of an emergency. So in short, it's our playground where we don't have to worry about making mistakes.

- Less stress on our employees.

EC2 is the original market leader and that is the reason why we chose to go with them, but Microsoft as well as others are catching up. It boils down to price and comfort level. The feature sets are mostly the same and the service will continue to be come commoditized as time goes on.
