AI Generated Summary
AI-generated. Powered by real user reviews.
- Users report that AWS Direct Connect excels in bandwidth support with a score of 9.3, making it a preferred choice for enterprises needing reliable and high-capacity connections. In contrast, Krystal also offers strong bandwidth support at 9.3, but users mention that its focus on small businesses allows for more tailored solutions.
- Reviewers mention that Krystal shines in ease of use, scoring 9.6 compared to AWS Direct Connect's 8.3. Users appreciate Krystal's intuitive interface, which simplifies the management of multiple websites, while AWS Direct Connect is noted for its complexity in setup and administration.
- G2 users highlight Krystal's superior quality of support, with a score of 9.9, particularly praising its 24/7 customer support and extensive knowledge base. In contrast, AWS Direct Connect's support quality is rated at 8.3, with some users expressing concerns about response times during peak hours.
- Users on G2 report that AWS Direct Connect offers robust security features, including DDoS protection rated at 8.6, which is crucial for enterprise-level applications. However, Krystal's security tools, including malware identification and removal, score higher at 9.5, indicating a more comprehensive approach to security for small businesses.
- Reviewers say that Krystal's customization options, particularly its custom DNS name servers rated at 10.0, provide users with greater flexibility in managing their domains. AWS Direct Connect, while offering some customization, does not match this level of user control, scoring only 8.3 in this area.
- Users report that Krystal's performance in email hosting is rated at 9.4, which is particularly beneficial for small businesses looking for integrated solutions. AWS Direct Connect, while strong in other areas, does not focus on email hosting, which may be a drawback for users needing comprehensive service packages.
