"Best Database service in Cloud Services"
4/5
What do you like best about Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS)?

A fully managed database service by AWS. We don't have to worry about software, licensing, managing servers, etc. It is fully scalable, reliable, can be migrated from anywhere to anywhere, highly available and you can implement RDS in very simple steps. Most importantly it only costs what you use. So you can create a database anytime and you can delete it any time. You only pay that you use the RDS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The initial starting time of the RDS, up to 10 mins is kind of a dislike to me. And also some other features like if I want to upgrade my database major version it needs some downtime. Yeah, they have some additional features to do this in a minimal downtime but still, we did not achieve zero downtime. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is a drawback when using AWS RDS and this is on the cost front when undertaking complex configurations and intense utilization of resources particularly for the reserved instances. Furthermore, even if the service we examined is simple to apply, it provides fewer opportunities for customization of individual database parameters and infrastructure in some cases, which can be inconvenient for meticulous users.
