"Flexible and Reliable Infrastructure for Containerized Services"

4/5

What do you like best about Amazon EC2?

The flexibility and control are the biggest benefits. EC2 makes it straightforward to run and manage containerized services, choose the right instance type, access hosts directly for debugging, and scale infrastructure seamlessly across different environments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon EC2?

The main downside is operational complexity. Managing instance configuration, networking, permissions, external integrations, and container dependencies across multiple hosts can be time-consuming. Troubleshooting host-specific differences is also harder than with a more fully managed platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Amazon EC2 solving and how is that benefiting you?

Amazon EC2 provides the flexible compute infrastructure we need to run containerized backend services across environments. It lets us deploy consistently, select appropriate instance types, and integrate with other AWS services, and directly access hosts when troubleshooting. The AWS console uI also makes it easy to inspect instances, networking, metrics, and configuration in one place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Scalable Power, but Steep Learning Curve"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Amazon EC2?

I like Amazon EC2 because I can access it using my CMD without having to log in to AWS, and I appreciate that I can extend our server as the user base grows. I find it valuable that I can attach more volume storage to our server and enjoy the ability to customize according to my conditions. I also appreciate the scalability, being able to extend as needed and add more security using other AWS other services like security group. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon EC2?

I find Amazon EC2 not easy and difficult for beginners. The initial setup was very difficult compared to others like Hostinger. Another issue is the high pricing; if we forget to remove any attached EC2 services after instance termination, the cost will still be incurred for those running services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Amazon EC2 solving and how is that benefiting you?

Amazon EC2 provides a scalable and customizable server solution for my Node.js applications, accessible via CMD without AWS login. However, it's tough for beginners, and the cost can rise if unused services aren't terminated after instance shutdown. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Flexible and powerful, but pricing transparency could be better"

4/5

What do you like best about Amazon EC2?

The flexibility to scale instances up or down based on actual workload is probably what I appreciate most. We run a mix of on-demand and reserved instances, and being able to right-size our compute without over-provisioning has noticeably cut down our monthly bill. The variety of instance types is genuinely useful — we use memory-optimized ones for our database workloads and compute-optimized for batch jobs. Auto Scaling groups have also been solid for handling traffic spikes without manual intervention. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon EC2?

The pricing model can be genuinely confusing, especially when you factor in data transfer costs, EBS volumes, and Elastic IPs on top of instance costs. We've had a few billing surprises early on before we got a proper tagging and cost allocation strategy in place. Also, the console UX hasn't aged that well — navigating between regions or finding the right AMI can be clunky. Documentation is thorough but sometimes hard to navigate when you're troubleshooting something specific. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Amazon EC2 solving and how is that benefiting you?

Before moving to EC2, we were stuck managing physical servers in a co-lo facility which meant long lead times to provision new capacity and a lot of wasted headroom. EC2 let us shift to an infrastructure-as-code approach where environments can be spun up or torn down in minutes. It's been especially helpful for dev/test environments that don't need to run 24/7, which reduced our compute costs significantly. Deployment pipelines are faster and more consistent, and we can recover from failures without manual intervention thanks to Auto Scaling. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Powerful Resource Management, Excellent Flexibility"

5/5

What do you like best about Amazon EC2?

I like using Amazon EC2 for managing physical servers and having control over my computer resources, which makes launching a server quick and easy, taking just minutes. I appreciate how I can choose CPU, RAM, storage, and OS with ease. These features are incredibly valuable to me because they directly affect performance costs and how quickly I can iterate on projects. Whether I'm working on lightweight tasks like a REST API or shifting to heavier workloads such as running simulations and models, EC2 offers the flexibility I need without redesigning the system. The ability to scale, optimize, and maintain consistency is crucial, and EC2's storage flexibility allows me to attach and store independently. I love that it moves rigid constraints and lets me adapt as my project evolves, rather than being tied down to fixed hardware. I also find the optimization process smooth and appreciate that aspect. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon EC2?

Since I'm a first-time user of Amazon EC2, I can't make better assumptions, but I think customer support could be better. Navigating the Amazon Web Services ecosystem can be confusing for beginners due to fragmented fields like VPCs and security groups. Full understanding is required for proper use, and the system trades simplicity for control. It offers good accessibility and low-level access but is less convenient for quick, fully managed development with minimal configuration and better optimization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Amazon EC2 solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use Amazon EC2 to manage servers while controlling my resources, solving my infrastructure problem by launching servers in minutes. It lets me scale, optimize, and maintain consistency without redesigning systems, providing storage flexibility and performance control for various workloads.We previously struggled with manual hardware provisioning, but now we leverage seamless integrations with the broader AWS ecosystem specifically Amazon S3 for scalable storage and AWS IAM for robust security. This interconnectedness allows us to maintain consistency without redesigning systems for every new project.The ROI has been significant; by utilizing Savings Plans and Spot Instances, we’ve reduced our monthly compute spend by approximately 20-30% compared to traditional on premises costs.Furthermore, we now use AWS Compute Optimizer, which utilizes AI-driven analytics Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Flexible, Easy Service Deployment with Amazon EC2"

5/5

What do you like best about Amazon EC2?

Amazon EC2 allows users to easily deploy services in a variety of ways. There are a lot of different options that can be used to best serve your particular use case. There are default images that can be used as a starting point if you need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon EC2?

The state management of an instance can sometimes be confusing. In order to properly cleanup an EC2 instance manually, you have to make sure that you properly turn off, disable, and delete in one by one steps. Ideally there would be better options to just completely wipe an instance without having to manually cleanup multiple spots. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Amazon EC2 solving and how is that benefiting you?

Amazon EC2 is useful at a variety of stages of deploying a product. It is easy to utilize for quick prototyping of an idea most of all. You can quickly startup an instance with an image that you built. You can then setup the proper networking or other connections that allow full integration of you application. You can run full end to end tests and experiments without worrying too much about the permanence. If you need to make adjustments it is easy to deploy those, if you need to destroy everything you have that option as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"My professional journey with Amazon EC2"

5/5

What do you like best about Amazon EC2?

There are quite a long list of points which may define my personal alignment with/ interest with Amazon EC2 ,upon which I would list a few which are like :-it offers hundreds of distinct instance types optimized for different workloads. For example when we talk of the following,we get a series of fitted options .

​Compute Optimized (C-Series): For heavy mathematical modeling, batch processing ; Memory Optimized (R and X-Series): Essential for running massive in-memory databases (ex- SAP HANA) and open-source data frameworks ; Accelerated Computing : Packed with cutting-edge GPUs etc Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon EC2?

Few problems/concerns are there because of which my liking of EC2 differs like for its pricing prediction related issues as even we are billed for moving data out of the server, and critically, are even billed for transferring data across different availability zone Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Amazon EC2 solving and how is that benefiting you?

There are a lot of solutions which is easily done by using it ,for example EC2 turns hardware into an on-demand utility. We pay for computing power by the second. EC2 distributes infrastructure across a massive global footprint of Regions and Availability Zones , also it constantly updates its backend fleet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Beginner-Friendly Cloud Hosting with Flexible Billing"

5/5

What do you like best about Amazon EC2?

I used Amazon EC2 to host my Docker container for a personal project and found it very helpful as a beginner in cloud services. It's very easy to start and stop my instance, which gives me full control. I also really like the pay-as-you-go pricing since it means I don't have to spend money on days when the instance is down. The initial setup was very easy and the detailed tour of the application helped me understand it much faster. I also reached out to customer support in between for an issue while accessing my instance through the web instead of powershell and they were really helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon EC2?

Understanding the billing part took me some time as it doesn't reflect immediately and takes a while. Hence, I wasn't able to check how many credits of mine were being consumed and how fast. After a few days, I started to see the difference, but earlier I couldn't because the billing page hadn't fully been created for my instance. Amazon takes a while to update it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Amazon EC2 solving and how is that benefiting you?

Amazon EC2 helped me understand cloud services by easily creating and running instances. It simplifies starting and stopping instances, ensures control with pay-as-you-go pricing, and was pivotal in landing an internship. I use it within my place of work i.e CSES Society, here i use it to provide job opportunities to my college students at the earliest so that they can apply earlier. Applying earliest to jobs once they are posted will help them stay at the top of the HR's list and priority would be given to them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
