Overall Satisfaction with Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS)

I use Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) to make it easier to set up, operate, and scale a relational database in the AWS Cloud. It provides cost-efficient, resizable capacity for an industry-standard relational database and manages common database administration tasks. I've really enjoyed this product so far and would recommend it to others for a variety of reasons.
  • Ease of use.
  • Quick deployment.
  • Customer service.
  • Better UI for smaller companies.
  • Scaled-down pricing for smaller operations.
  • Time to value.
  • Reduction in manual tasks.
Both are really solid options but I think Amazon often times offers an easier solution for the smaller business owner vs a Cisco platform that is much more geared towards an enterprise business. This is the biggest difference that I would say that gives Amazon the edge here. Would definitely recommend it.

Amazon RDS supports an array of database engines to store and organize data. It also helps with relational database management tasks, such as data migration, backup, recovery, and patching. Amazon RDS facilitates the deployment and maintenance of relational databases in the cloud. On the flip side, it is definitely geared more towards an enterprise business, so smaller shops might struggle to see the value in the service.
