Overall Satisfaction with Amazon Web Services

AWS is the most comprehensive cloud solution out there. While it can take time to master the tech skills, it is easy to use and an incredibly powerful platform with various micro services bundled in to build, manage and deploy your products.

For a heavily regulated industry with strict data use guidelines, AWS provides all the solutions required to meet the compliance requirements.
  • Comprehensive suite
  • Fair pricing based on usage
  • Extensive user base and developer community
  • Great product service and industry events
  • Complex pricing structure
  • Costs can spiral out of control
  • Can be overwhelming for a newcomer
  • Initial benefit is huge, once that settles it takes time to derive incremental savings vs. time spent to master the offering
  • Auto scaling helps with cost optimization and usage monitoring helps to push back against users who allocate more than what they need

Better global availability and use across industries.
AWS has a great ecosystem of experts, developers, solution architects and it helps to get to know them at various AWS events across the world
