The dashboard gives a comprehensive look out of all the ec2 instances Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not much. May be add some more features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We can easily monitor and manage all the instances in one place without issues. This approach saves a lot of time since we don't have to go one by one when a change or patch is needed—also, the interfaces are user friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have no complaint about the AWS Systems Manager. It does its task well and gives the insights we need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is integrated with kms so you can secure a parameter such as api key or passwords instead of having them unsecure in the function or as a environment variable to the function. It is also versioned if something change we can check the changes Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Default key for kms should not be a option as it is not secure. Anybody or a function with parameter store access can dump the secured entries if you dont have separate kms keys with separate access Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

AWS Systems Manager gives me visibility and control of your infrastructure on AWS. Systems Manager provides a unified user interface so I can view operational data from multiple AWS services and allows me to automate operational tasks across your AWS resources.

We could make updates to running instances via chef solo by invoking it using SSM, but we like the instances to be as immutable as possible - makes for very easy rollbacks and reduces the amount of unintentional change in the environment. If we need to make an update we build and test a completely new image and then deploy new instances based on it rather than updating running instances. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ability to perform compliance checks. The ability to collect system inventory, including custom inventory. Patch Management capabilities. The ability to implement in hybrid environments. The ability to customize Documents. The ability to initiate commands from the AWS Dashboard. State Manager Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The lack of integration with other services within AWS GovCloud. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that I can remote access machines from the AWS console directly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike that it is VERY hard to find the machine that I want to remotely access. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Protera Technologies, specailizes in managed hosting services for SAP,. AWS EC2 allows our team to provision and right size compute resources on-demand. AWS EC2 gives access with no delay to the compute resourecs needed, and we only pay for what we use. This is a landslide change when compared to traditional hosting that required weeks of planning and deployment activities for even simple HW changes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In some cases upgrading or transitioning from from EC2 familly of instances to another has some adveser cost impact Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

EC2 instances can range from free to expensive depending on what you want to do. I enjoyed the range and ease of deployment. Free tier is awesome for what you get access to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The range. For new folks, the amount of choices is overwhelming. But if you like lots of options, it's not really a problem. There has to be some familiarity with the console to get started. THerea re so many choices, it can be hard to decide what you want to do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like Amazon Web Services because is an excelent tool both for people and for companies, because a system or an application can be deployed in an very fast enviroment like EC2, and using any of their existing tools, such as S3. AWS is more reliable and also secure as most of the business data information would be passed and so it should be properly encrypted and follow other security measures to prevent any data from getting leaked while communicating between the applications. AWS is more flexible and scalable with more bandwidth and storage capabilities. AWS is highly customizable and is easy to use, the learning curve for its main functions is relatively easy and well documented, application programming interfaces (APIs) are accessible and also is available in many regions. It has variety of tools at your disposal and the S3 interface is being well laid out and easy to organize. It constantly innovates and iterates, announcing new features several times per year and the price is very competitive in the market. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If you manage many accounts AWS, management can become somewhat disorganized bacause it does not offer many tools for internal control, also it has many tools at your disposal, but you may not know them all. They could see how to promote and introduce the tools that you use less to display its advantages. While the documentation is robust it is sometimes difficult to get access to an actual person who might be able to help with the design of your application and what Amazon service is most applicable.

We can now automatically run powershell scripts across our entire fleet of instances at the same time! Additionally it can support automatically running tasks in "maintenance windows" replacing the need for hours of manual effort spent after hours on the weekend!

Parameter store is a little difficult to navigate through. Believe improvements may be coming to that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
