AWS Elastic Load Balancing Reviews & Product Details

I liked the ELBs health check functionality which automatically checks the health of instances. It also scales the instances dynamically to ensure smooth traffic during peak hours.I also liked the SSL termination feature right at load balancer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One thing that I dont like is its tight integration with AWS ecosystem. If there is a multi cloud or hybrid cloud setup, it may limit the flexibility and portability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Load balancer is good service when you have multiple requests at each min which helps you to handle such more requests easily and keep your server free. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Didn't encounter any major problems. I would recommend using it in production environments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Can integrate with a lot of other AWS Services, e.g. ECS / EKS / Auto Scaling / Cognito very easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its pricing is based on duration of usage instead requests, which makes it a fixed cost which could be bad for web applications that have very predictable traffic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

AWS offers easily accessible, affordable cloud storage options for businesses that can be accessed from anywhere in the world. You can get on-demand cloud services and it has pay-as-you-go pricing which is affordable and best for businesses. You can quickly move your applications to the cloud quickly and simply by using just a few clicks. Additionally, it offers specialized database applications with the proper tools already included. It is a must-have for any business, startup, or corporation, in my opinion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

At first, it feels complicated for beginners to get started with it. The interface of half of the applications is still pretty old. Also, the billing of the used cloud services is not mentioned in detail. It has a very overall view of the prices. Sometimes, you really need to optimize your expenses all the time. Also, there should a predicting tool to know how much would it cost to run a particular job on the cloud. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are a lot of things that make it the best choice for our organization. It provides a great level of security and data privacy which is harder to implement on our own. I like the fact that it is just a 2 min process to run a VM and get your products deployed. It also can monitor resources and costs for all of them through the dashboard and also the ability to get SMS alerts for certain situations like server overload etc.

It also has a very good selection of topics for the tutorial videos that are easy to follow, so you don't need to go anywhere else to learn more about it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In my experience of using it so far I have not encountered any major issues but to nitpick I would say just like other clouds it also has some delays when spinning up a VM or some services respond slowly but occasionally.

Its cost might be one of the cons as it is cost-effective only when used with proper planning or you might end up paying the extra cost for just using 10% of service as the remaining were not useful for you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
