Overall Satisfaction with Amazon Web Services

We use AWS for our IT infrastructure and Development platform. AWS is utilized by all departments within our organization. We have been able to improve IT infrastructure reliability and reduce costs at the same time.

Pros

  • AWS provides enterprise fail over capabilities at a reasonable cost.
  • It's extremely easy to scale up or down with your infrastructure.

Cons

  • Better UI design and layout.
  • It could get expensive if not managed correctly.
  • ROI has been great since we have been able to reduce costs and improve reliability.
  • AWS has been able to fill all of our business objectives, since AWS provides a vast array of services at a reasonable cost.
AWS provides a vast array of services and, compared to Microsoft Azure licensing costs, is a cheaper alternative.
AWS support has been good for general configuration and build-out, but in more complex environments you're basically left on your own.
