What do you dislike about Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC)?

The business model of AWS play against you : growth of cost is barely not "manageable" for a mid-size or small company. UX and interfaces are done to let you buy the maximum of services, not to serve you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"secure premise for deployment and integration / virtual private networking / elevated security"
5/5
What do you like best about Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC)?

It is standatised and every intermediate devops engineer is able to set up and cofigure it. Most Network Security consultunts recommend to use it cause is a kind of standart in industry both with virtual private Snowflake and Azure but the choise depends on industry. We deployed trading software and CRM data bases in VPC so focus on merchant activity and export - import operations defined our choise on Amazon. Amazon has the mos quantity of sertified professionals so it is easy to hire support team. Capabilities to configure IP adresses is crucial for us cause we use REST API automation and some hosting applications can block some IP ranges due to the pre programmed logic of geo fancing and need a lot of time for vendore to change it (like Cloudflare is very beurocratic). VPC is highly applicable if you use single license for a range of users, so you can define rules for every location your team is. In general our security rules are based on recommendation to use isolated spaces and has pre configured build. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC)?

It is solution in high demand so is prices relevanty but general costs for use of cloud products are high. Despite of high costs of maintenance that gives you exceptional reliability. That is for productive and commercial use to have feaseble ROI, so if you use for up start activity is good to have idea tested on more simplified approaches and next to it consider plan to start on VPC productive cloud. Virtual network depends on infrastructure location so must be considered maintenance and distributed infrastructure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy to create to resources but important to understand the concepts"
4/5
What do you like best about Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC)?

It's very easy to create VPC, subnets and establish connections. I also get to see all resources through sidebar Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC)?

Since the concepts are little difficult to understand, especially when you we are dealing with connecting to VPCs using Internet Gateway or Virual private Gateways very often than not we make mistakes or forget to attach gateways in route tables. It would be really helpful if there is any guide/suggestions in the console itself which suggests next steps immediately after a new resource is created Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Amazons own Virtual Private Cloud"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC)?

Amazons VPC lets users customize all the infrastructure themselves. It lets them choose a range of IP addresses, subnet ranges and CIDR. Users can put their databases in amazons private network and it will ensure its security. The security features provided by Amazon are amazing that is why I like it so much because it provides customisation to filter off inbound and outbound traffic and instance level. Aws management console provides very user friendly options to create VPC and it help in automatically creating the subnets, NACL, route tables and all the required things. That is all I like about Amazon Virtual Private Cloud. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC)?

Overall there are very less things that i dislike about Amazon VPC, one is like the Actual VPC is free for use as there is no cost to use it. But we need to use some services with VPC in order to make it work which are NAT Gateways and VPC-Endpoint. These are very very expensive services to use with Amazon VPC. NAT gateways are required for private subnets to communicate with the internet outside the VPC. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
