"Amazon SimpleDB review"
What do you like best about SimpleDB?

The simplicity of end to end services that amazon provides that are applicable to the stage you are at within your business i.e. start-up to large corporations!!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SimpleDB?

Sometimes, it's a little difficult to weed through the volume of product help and tutorials...At first there is almost sensory overload of information. If it were a little more checklist oriented for new users, it would be easier to understand how to get started with SimpleDB. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Hiper Available Databases"
What do you like best about SimpleDB?

As a main focus we must highlight the high availability of NoSQL databases. This Amazon service is also quite secure so we can use sensitive information. Compared to other database services in the cloud, this is a very competitive price. It is also a very easy to use service, optimized for performance. The secret of the high availability of the database is based on the garcia of the several replicas distributed gerographically. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SimpleDB?

There are no big points to criticize negatively also for still using the service in relatively little time. I just think they should provide more features to test though for a limited time for the customer to be able to set up a functional database and thus verify that switching to this service would make their service faster. With a limit of 1Gb and 25 hours it is not possible to test causing many potential users not to ponder this service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A Cloud Based DB for anyone not just a DB"
What do you like best about SimpleDB?

Amazon makes accessing a DB really just as its name states, Simple. I have been able to build out Databases in minutes and get them working in the cloud very quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SimpleDB?

There is a little bit of a learning curve with all of Amazon's products and it seems like their navigation changes quite frequently. Once you get comfortable enough with the product, SimpleDB gets better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Simplified DB from a PM"
What do you like best about SimpleDB?

I'm a project manager and my team ha used this for the last application we stood up. We already were utilizing AWS, so the choice to utilize Simple DB went through our ARB quickly as the recommended solution. What I've found most appealing from my standpoint is the reduced risk and maintenance for the solution. Without worrying about complex maintenanace, and simplified querying of the DB, the team is able to focus on more pertinent and demanding tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SimpleDB?

Based off of the feedback from the team, i've had no issues with Simple DB. It works as expected and the Database admins were able to get up to speed during the design phase of the project to be able to set up and maintain as needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The best experience to facilitate and speed up the search for information"
What do you like best about SimpleDB?

What I like about Amazon SimpleDB is that it offers a simple web services interface to create and store several data sets, easily consult the data and obtain the results of those queries. The data is indexed automatically, which facilitates and speeds up the search for information. It is not necessary to predefine or change schemas if data is added later. And the extension is very simple: just create new domains instead of developing new servers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SimpleDB?

There is nothing that you do not like. It is very easy to use and very efficient. Not only that, the most amazing thing is that new and existing customers receive 25 hours of SimpleDB machine and 1 GB of free storage every month. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"used as our backend for a application "
What do you like best about SimpleDB?

With AWS you can skip a lot of the configuration steps that you would have to do otherwise you would have to spend a lot more time getting everything together. It was beneficial to use because there is a good amount of documentation for aws although it is difficult to understand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SimpleDB?

Its alot harder to use and setup than say Google's firebase. Also its kind of difficult to really get a good idea of estimated cost that you will be charged per month of use unless you really know certain things. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"It's amazon, what do you expect? It's great."
What do you like best about SimpleDB?

It's amazon, what do you expect? It's great. Noticed that queries against amazon's solution are faster than other database. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SimpleDB?

There are some limitations I'm not overly fond of, but in spite of those, I think it's good. There are limits on query times, sizes of the dataset, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
