"My experience with AWS RDS services"
What do you like best about Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS)?

I've used the AWS RDS service for my company's dev, uat, and production environment, RDS is very helpful in managing objects in the database because AWS RDS is fully managed service, so I don't need to continuously manage the operating system in the database, so I can focus on developing queries and objects in the database. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS)?

Although the aws rds have many advantages, I also still face limitations when I use AWS RDS like some features in Oracle Database on premise, not yet available on AWS RDS, and also expensive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Gem of a kind in Amazon Ecosystem"
What do you like best about Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS)?

No doubt in it definitely the greatest and wonderful services it offers along with the clear UI and also each service has a small explanation in the AWS website.

While using it we the students some times get into trouble then the support that is provided is unmatchable by the other cloud services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS)?

The privacy and security issues.

Yes they are best for experts but, for the beginners like us its unbearable and difficult. We need a lot of time to invest to delete something and also the complete deletion might not happen, if we are even a little careless a lot of cost is imposed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"RDS is the way to go for SQL needs"
What do you like best about Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS)?

Encryption and security are handled very carefully in RDS. If you want total encryption on the db itself and do not want AWS interference in encryption, AWS provides way-TDE support for MYSQL and Oracle dbs and you can have your own cloud HSM. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS)?

I would say the way they offer RDS services. It is very confusing for new users to choose between Multi-AZ clusters and Aurora. Both are very different and work differently underhood. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Reliable and Scalable Database Solution with Minor Limitations"
What do you like best about Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS)?

Amazon RDS offers excellent scalability and reliability, making it a great solution for handling databases in a cloud environment. The automated backups, ease of replication, and robust security features save a significant amount of time and reduce administrative overhead. Its ability to manage multiple database engines, such as MySQL, PostgreSQL, and Oracle, provides flexibility to adapt to specific project requirements. The user interface is intuitive, and the integration with other AWS services is seamless, enhancing the overall experience for developers and administrators alike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS)?

One downside of Amazon RDS is the limited control over the underlying infrastructure, which can be frustrating for users who need more custom configurations or performance optimizations. Additionally, the pricing can escalate quickly, especially for high-availability setups or when working with large-scale databases. Monitoring and logging, while generally effective, can be challenging to navigate and set up in detail without relying on additional AWS services like CloudWatch.
