The best about AWS service is that:

1) AWS provides very vast services related to storage, servers, firewalls, networking, security.

2) AWS has good scalability, cost-effective, it has good flexibility. It has different regions and has good availability zones which help with latency issues.

3) AWS provides good security for cloud; it has an Identity Access Management system, where data can be protected and different users can be provided with different access and policies.

4) AWS has good security compliance.

5) AWS provides good integration when it comes to migration and while deploying different applications using AWS services, it's a lot easier.

6) AWS provides good documentation on its services.

7) AWS Cloud provides proper updates on its services, and if any new services are included, proper webinars are conducted, and the process and services are explained. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Only the thing I dislike about AWS is the naming of its services; it's not easier to find a service related to a particular search and naming its terms. For example, suppose S3; any new fresher won't be able to identify it as a storage service and the related term bucket. It should have something named related to storage. Like other services like Lightsail, we won't know it is serverless if you are a fresher. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy configuration and initial set up. Scalability is the big plus point here. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Limited admin access, you don't get full sysadmin rights and certain functions are unavailable via SSMS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) is truly a very flexible, powerful, scalable and full of features as AWS claims. I have been using the service, including many others, in my organization since I joined, and it has served many production use-cases quite efficiently. The best thing about Amazon RDS is its combination of simplicity and power. Be it the intuitive design on the console or the powerful CLI commands which were able to automate everything that I liked and wanted, this database is a great option for anyone looking either to migrate their on-premises databases, or choose a cloud database. The ability AWS provides regarding scaling to up or down sizes on-demand is very good, which not only helps to meet the live customer API calls, but also helps us to manage and reduce our cost. Even though we utilized the RDS for MySQL, MS SQL and PostgreSQL, the integration with other databases like MariaDB and more is quite appreciative, enabling us to work on projects for some customers using unconventional databases too. I also loved the ease of connecting it to an EC2 instance while creating the database itself, and how AWS manages many things automatically. Also, the option of managing the database credentials using Systems Manager for safety and security purposes, and ensuring nothing gets leaked is a very amazing feature as well.

I don't feel something too strong to dislike about Amazon RDS, but there are certain things where improvements can surely happen. One of them and what I feel, most important, is the proper integration of RDS databases to other identity providers like Microsoft Entra, Okta etc. If the credentials can totally be removed using this seamless integration, then it will truly complete even further use cases, and excel on the security side better. Also, Amazon RDS can fasten the application of patches/updates on our database as soon as they are released, so that we are always ahead in the update race as well.

It's vast size of data storage and customer support. No chance of data lost and mismatch till now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's costing and pricing which is quite expensive Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I guess Postgres is the one which is way more helpful and trendy these days especially using libraries for distance and geo spatial data support with Relational database advantages of Joins and Aggregate functions it is really good without any headache of having to maintain the server.

I would say cost for few people who wants to have a POC kindof project it is very easy and goto service like DynamoDB but because of Cost RDS is kindof neglected because using EC2 if we host postgre rds it would be much cheaper Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best thing about RDS is how easy it makes managing databases. It takes care of all the boring stuff like backups, patching, and scaling so we can focus on actually using the database. The performance is great too, and I love that I can choose from different database engines like MySQL or PostgreSQL. It's also nice that it integrates seamlessly with other AWS services, which makes my life a lot easier when building apps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While RDS is mostly great, it can get pretty expensive if you're not careful. The pricing model is kind of complicated, and it's easy to rack up costs if you don't keep an eye on things. Also, some of the more advanced features are only available on certain instance types, which can be frustrating. Sometimes I wish there was more flexibility in terms of customizing the underlying OS or accessing the database files directly, but I guess that's the trade-off for the managed service.

Best thing about Amazon RDS is its ability to automate time-consuming database management tasks like backups, scaling, and patching, and easy to use. The service offers high availability with Multi-AZ deployments, ensuring minimal downtime. Additionally, RDS supports multiple database engines, providing flexibility for different project needs, all while seamlessly integrating with other AWS services for monitoring and security. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Dislike thing about Amazon RDS is that while it's highly automated, it can be less flexible for custom configurations compared to managing databases on your own. The pricing can also add up quickly, especially for large-scale deployments or when using Multi-AZ for high availability. Additionally, troubleshooting complex performance issues can be challenging without deeper access to the underlying infrastructure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I was struggling to manage my DB, and that's where RDS came in. The setup was done very quickly, and to add to it, the interface was very user-friendly and easy to understand. The best part about RDS was I could scale up and down whenever needed. I found RDS to be very secure and reliable, which made me stop worrying about the data loss and downtimes I faced before using RDS. Despite AWS being a big thing, their customer support is still on point; they respond within SLA and helped me resolve my issues. I also tried integrating it with my EC2 instance, which was done in a flash due to its user-friendly console. Another good part is it also supports high, medium, and low-frequency usages.

There aren't many things to dislike since mine was a small DB, but if I happen to host a large DB on RDS, it can get costly, and another point being I faced a bit of latency while using it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Amazon RDS simplifies database management by automating tasks like backups, scaling, and patching. It also supports multiple database engines, making it versatile for various use cases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I find challenging with Amazon RDS is the limited control over low-level configurations compared to self-managed databases. Additionally, costs can escalate quickly, especially with high storage and I/O requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The thing I value most about Amazon RDS is how easy it is to handle database jobs. We are able to concentrate more on application development and less on database management because of the automated backups, simplicity and scalability options. High availability and performance are also provided.Which is essential for startup applications. Its is very simple to integrate it with other aws services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

High Cost is one issue with Amazon RDS, particularly as the database increases. Although the service has many great features, the cost can add up rapidly, especially if you need a lot of storage and have high availability settings. Also, some users who require more customization may find the restricted control over some parameters, in comparison to self-managed databases, to be restricting. The maintenance windows are another small annoyance although required. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
