4.5/5
What do you like best about Amazon Lightsail?

It is very easy to use and as part of the AWS that provide the classic VPS solution to the consumer. While it does it in a secure manner that provides virtual servers, storage, and networking infrastructure for web applications, websites, and other similar workloads. It is aimed at developers, small businesses, and other users who want to quickly set up and deploy their applications on a cloud platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon Lightsail?

Compare to the other offering from AWS, this is among the least customizable in term of features aka basic. users who need more advanced features, such as auto-scaling and advanced networking, may want to consider other AWS services such as EC2, ECS, or EKS.

"AWS Lightsail - Simple Cloud Hosting with Powerful Features"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Amazon Lightsail?

What I liked about Amazon Lightsail is its features like automatic backups and replication, which help ensure that our data is always available and protected. It also provides monitoring tools that allow us to keep an eye on the health of our resources. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon Lightsail?

The thing I dislike about Amazon Lightsail is its pricing. It’s a good choice for small workloads because it offers affordable pricing plans. But if you have a large workload requiring storage space, it’s a bit expensive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great intro to using AWS without the worry of overcomplicating"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Amazon Lightsail?

Amazon lightsail makes it very easy to get the full power of AWS EC2 or managed container services without the worry of using the full AWS control panel, this can help keep track of budgets easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon Lightsail?

Not all of the AWS functionality is available, the DNS options are lacking compared to the full route53 offering. And any services made within lightsail seem to be available within the full AWS ec2 console. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Lots of features"
2.5/5
What do you like best about Amazon Lightsail?

There are many features, particularly user management system features (IAMS) which are enormously versatile: You can get the system to do what you want or allow others to do so. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon Lightsail?

The system's versatility is also its drawback: it's complicated, and you need someone who uses these systems regularly; otherwise, you feel a bit lost with many options and fear of doing the wrong thing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best Web hosting cloud solution"
5/5
What do you like best about Amazon Lightsail?

There is a lot to like in Lightsail but the one thing that I Iike the most is that all the services that one can need, is all bundled into a single service and dashboard. It is very easy to manage my hosted web applications, servers, database, DNS, etc., And most of all it is extremely cheaper when compared to the traditional EC2 services or any other cloud host provider. It offers a fixed monthly charge for all its services, starting from as low as $3.5. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon Lightsail?

There is nothing to dislike but I would really love it if we could dynamically create new Lightsail servers and added them to a load balancer, currently, I guess there is no direct way of doing it and in a load-balancer, the number of servers are kindly fixed and need to be added or removed manually. it would be amazing if we could configure it to dynamically increase and reduce servers based on the incoming traffic.

"Good but not great!"
3/5
What do you like best about Amazon Lightsail?

AWS offers great options for locations, but that comes with the cost. Performance and availability of service is good. Setup and configuration is also easy and simple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon Lightsail?

Lightsail is not fully scalable option like EC2. Pricing is somewhat high compared to others. Overall Lightsail feels like traditional hosting, not as cloud. Maybe it's made that way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
