can spin up a server when I need it, scale it anytime, and pay only for what I use.

It gives full control without locking me into fixed hardware. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are too many options and settings, which can feel overwhelming at first.

Also, costs can grow quickly if you’re not careful with monitoring and cleanup Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Highly customizable service where I can pay only for what I choose and time I use Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not very beginner-friendly, and there’s very little free support available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about Amazon EC2 is its flexibility and scalability. You can easily adjust compute resources to match your needs—whether you're running small tests or large-scale production workloads. It’s also reliable and integrates seamlessly with other AWS services, which makes deploying and managing infrastructure much simpler. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I dislike about Amazon EC2 is that the pricing can get complicated, especially when managing multiple instances and storage options. It’s also easy to incur unexpected costs if you forget to stop unused instances. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The reliability and maturity of the platform are unmatched. This means deployments are repeatable, auditable, and incredibly fast. Spinning up a new testing environment that mirrors production takes minutes, not weeks. The ability to start small and incrementally add powerful features as you need them, all while paying only for what you use, is a game-changer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The learning curve is a vertical wall, and the pricing is a minefield. While the power is there, the sheer number of services and acronyms in the console is incredibly overwhelming for a newcomer. It's not always clear which of the five different ways to run a container is the "right" one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

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.

Amazon Bedrock AgentCore : A set of tools to build, deploy, and securely operate AI agents at scale.

About Amazon : Amazon S3 Vectors (preview), Native vector support in object storage. Helpful for semantic search / retrieval workflows, etc. Works with Bedrock Knowledge Bases and OpenSearch.

Nova customization & HyperPod support: More control over AWS’s Nova models (in SageMaker etc.), with better SDK for security and flexibility.

Agentic AI tools + Marketplace category

AWS launched a category in its Marketplace for AI agents and tools (so you can find, buy, deploy them more easily).

New AWS Region: Expanding geographic footprint helps in lowering latency, meeting local data residency/regulatory needs, etc.

US Press Center Better performance & cost with chips & infra : Usage of new GPU types (NVIDIA Blackwell, etc.), improvements in cooling (liquid cooling IRHX), new server types, etc. All aiming at more efficient AI training & inference. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Pricing Transparency – Costs can be tricky to estimate; a simpler, more predictable pricing model would help.

Learning Curve – The huge number of services and options can overwhelm new users; more guided workflows and simplified defaults would be great.

Console UI – While functional, the AWS Management Console can feel cluttered; a cleaner, more intuitive interface would improve usability.

Support Response Times – Premium support is excellent, but faster response at lower tiers would benefit small teams.

Service Integration Consistency – Sometimes features roll out unevenly across regions or services, which slows adoption. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the ease of use of Amazon EC2. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

several issues with Amazon Linux, the access methods and configuration are very extensive, and there is also a lack of cost preview. The initial setup is not easy either. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It provides lot of option to create VM/server. According to your requirement you can choose memory optimized, CPU optimized or storage optimized instance. You can easily spin up new server within 2 minutes. Easily scaling can be happened without creating new instance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
