Overall Satisfaction with Amazon Web Services
We use Amazon Web Services (AWS) for hosting almost every imaginable type of application. We utilize it regularly and company-wide for trying new things as a POC as well as for mature application hosting. It is very easy for us to spin up new virtual computing environments, as needed, and on demand.
- We like the native AWS RBAC authorization tools for controlling access without having to add other layers of complexity.
- We like the robustness and simplicity of S3 storage services and the related APIs.
- The ability to quickly provision and manage complex computing environments is 2nd to none in the industry.
- Like any suite of applications they could benefit from having a team of usability experts make the products more intuitive.
- Like most cloud solutions they could make it easier to understand the total costs associated with the various feature sets and related constraints.
- Customer service in the technical support area could be improved - they could use a bit more of a personal touch at times.
- We are able to test new ideas quickly using AWS hosting.
- We are able to move from conceptual POC to fully hosted/architected cloud solution in minimal time.
- We are able to build solutions that are 100% cloud as well as cloud-hybrid that orchestrate between our datacenters and the AWS cloud.
AWS is as good as any of the major cloud providers. I see a complete parity in this marketplace as innovations by one tend to be replicated by the others in short order. If you are looking to compare, or pilot, cloud hosting providers you must try AWS as they are a very strong offering that should meet your needs.
