Overall Satisfaction with Amazon Web Services
AWS has completely changed our business, 1000%. We used to be tied to a server located in our office. Access was limited and we were constantly crashing, due to software updates or other items. AWS holds our entire database, which includes over 25 years worth of data. While not a direct reason, because we made the switch to AWS, we have been able to move to a smaller office space because we are not longer dependent on a space that includes a server closet. We've saved a considerable amount of money since the switch because we are no longer calling a developer to come in in an emergency situation to fix our server.
- Data Storage
- Affordability
- Easy to use
- Because we have a large amount of data, constantly uploading and downloading, our monthly fee isn't a set amount, but instead fluctuates up and down each month.
- We've saved over $10,000 in the 2 years we've worked with AWS. We no longer have to pay to upgrade our internal server, we have no downtime. We no longer depend on our developer to come and 'fix' the server when it fails.
We looked into other server hosts, but the cost was out of our budget. We were quoted a monthly fee of $500 to $750, plus an initial fee of over $1,000. AWS made the most financial sense as well as other reviews and recommendations.
