"Great out of the box solution for your DB solution"
3.5/5
What do you like best about SimpleDB?

If you decided to use Amazon for your implementation please consider simple DB for your database needs. It'll speed up your time to market, and be quick and easy to implement. Please note this is not a fit for all solution, so evaluate for your needs first. Quick POC is always a good approach if in doubt Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
