"Review on Amazon EC2"
What do you like best about Amazon EC2?

Amazon EC2 is available with different types of OS. We can decide on instance type as per our requirement. Attached Disk type also we can scale up as per our usage increase.

Also provided us with different categories of instance options on 1. Demand 2. spot instances 3. reserved instances so it helps us in cost saving.

we also integrate instances with s3 bucket,RDS.Lambda function,DynamoDB etc

It is easy to use for developers to setup multiple sites on it by installing required packages on it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon EC2?

The most important drawback is the need for careful monitoring and optimization and a learning curve associated with understanding its full capabilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Fly to AWS Cloud - Challenges Appear Small"
What do you like best about Amazon EC2?

I have been exposed to multiple cloud vendors and what makes AWS special is its VISIBILITY and USER-FRIENDLY. Right from college students to software professionals no matter in what domain (AI, Data-Analytics, Development) they are working and the level of expertise they have AWS provides that ease of adapting.

Sometimes you miss micro details/settings which will create a lot of chaos at delivery but AWS enables that and some of the services force you to change for better delivery.

As an infrastructure engineer, my main concern is Monitoring the resources and tracing. AWS - CLOUDWATCH which integrates with all the AWS services and provides me with a detailed level of monitoring. Hence I should not rely on any other third-party software maintenance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon EC2?

AWS cloud doesn't compromise on pricing compared to other competitors in the market. This causes companies to migrate to different cloud vendors. AWS has Geographical constraints that restrict users from launching their resources in certain zones which may result in latency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Amazing VM Service"
What do you like best about Amazon EC2?

We can easily deploy an EC2 instance without any prior knowledge about AWS console. It is also possible to access via SSH and create firewall policies. The best part is that it allows us to take an AMI - Machine Image that we can use as an image for creating another instance. It is also easy to integrate this with any other machines, such as cluster application. It is also easy to implement a project. Our clients are using multiple instances as for trial, test and production enviroment which is used frequently. We never experience any trouble so far, even once we cameacross a glitch but it was resolved the support team instantly. Great service! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon EC2?

There is nothing I dislike. So far, I am really impressed with all the features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
