There isn't any. It is very useful. Just the fact that it charges now for reserving static IPs is sad. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

EC2 removes all the traditional needs of launching a VM on-prem and all the servers can be now hosted on cloud that too cost efficient.

It just takes seconds to launch an instance of a preference! It supports a ton of OS that can be hosted on cloud. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If you want to use OS like Windows 10 or 11 than EC2 offers some custom AMI which are available in marketplace but that comes with additional cost and in that case there is an another service named as Amazon Workspace that can be used. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My experience in aws have been so interesting and productive Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It needs links inside the product for extra help or explaining the feature instead of searching for it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is super easy to use and one of the fastest out there providing such compute services Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The formal and out dated UI. But it still looks quite clean Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Excellent GUI for novices, APIs and SDKs for expert users.

Excellent reliability. I've been unable to access my EC2 VMs only once in the past 10 years if you exclude the AWS wide outages that occured a few times.

Excellent scaling capabilities. Simple click via GUI or simple API change to scale. Auto-scaling via ELB also works great.

Excellent network throughput (depends on the flavor of the VM no doubt but never been an issue for me).

Excellent security. The mandate to move EC2 instances to VPCs was very good. With the range of security features both basic and advanced I've never been too worried about AWS EC2 security.

Best documentation compared to all other public clouds.

For managers - largest available pool of engineers with expert level knowledge available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cost, cost, cost. I don't know anyone who has not received a price shock at seeing their EC2 bill once in their lifetime.

Only 5 public IP addresses for EC2 available by default. This was an issue earlier before AWS introduced hardware NAT.

Support. EC2 is rock solid but in the rare case you need support it is slow or non-existent for non supported accounts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Reliability. I'm an IT professional with over 30 years experience with many cloud services and on-premise infrastructure. EC2, by far has been the most reliable, available, well-managed provider of compute power. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Administration is too tedious. For every hour of my time that I have to spend understanding reserved instance rules, how to provision elastic IP addresses, making sure my instances are in the right region, managing storage, the less I like the platform. Some of us want to run our business, and don't have time to administer the cloud environment -- after all, that's why we signed up for cloud computer rather than buying physicial servers and putting them under our desks.

Glue service is a very good service and has a lot of advantages like we can execute spark programs in glue and it is a server less service so you can spin the cluster on demand Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I disliked the lamda service which has a execution limit of only 15 mins.if we want to execute a simple copy which does not require to spin spark cluster then we face problem Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
