"EC2 is GoTo Compute for Most Requirements"

5/5

What do you like best about Amazon EC2?

I actually like the AWS Ecosystem, I have used GCP previously and its Compute, but the AWS ecosystem makes more sense to me. And as a result, I love EC2 for deploying my servers, the developer ecosystem and community are very broad. They provide great support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Poor Value, Frustrating Experience with EC2"

0/5

What do you like best about Amazon EC2?

Bad software Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon EC2?

I don't like that they have overcharged me. It was a bad choice of mine. The features are not valuable, just a dashboard full of unusable features. They seem to make features just to make money, not to benefit users. They hang up the calls and don't show interest in improving the service. They seem to charge big companies instead of catering to smaller ones. The setup was full of difficulties. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
