I appreciate AWS Cloud for its dependable performance, scalability, and the extensive selection of services it offers. It enables businesses to deploy applications rapidly, eliminating concerns about managing infrastructure. The pay-as-you-go pricing structure is cost-effective, and the robust security features ensure strong data protection. Additionally, AWS provides outstanding global availability and integrates seamlessly with a variety of tools, which enhances both performance and efficiency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
AWS Cloud provides impressive flexibility and a broad selection of services, but navigating the platform can be challenging, particularly for newcomers. The pricing model is often difficult to understand, and expenses can escalate rapidly if resources are not carefully monitored. Furthermore, certain advanced configurations demand significant technical expertise, which can make both setup and ongoing maintenance difficult for smaller teams.

AWS EC2 stands out for its scalable compute capacity, making it easy to adjust resources quickly as demand changes. It also provides clear upfront cost information, which helps with budgeting. The platform offers a variety of flexible instance types and pricing models, allowing users to optimize both performance and cost efficiency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
EC2 offers a lot of flexibility in choosing instance types, which is a definite advantage. However, it's important to be cautious, as costs can quickly increase if you leave instances running unnecessarily or select an unsuitable pricing model. Additional Operational burden as we need to take care of OS security, patches and configuration etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I value the way Amazon EC2 significantly reduces downtime and eliminates the need for upfront hardware investment, which provides me with a high degree of control and customization over my web hosting services. The scalability of Amazon EC2 is something I appreciate deeply, along with the wide variety of instance types that allow for flexibility to adjust based on our workload requirements. Elastic Load Balancing and Amazon RDS, the managed database service, are excellent for distributing traffic and preventing single instance failures, which adds reliability to the infrastructure. Additionally, integrating Amazon EC2 with tools like CloudWatch for monitoring, S3 for storage, and IAM for access control further enhances its functionality and makes it a well-rounded solution for my needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I find instance management with Amazon EC2 can get complex, particularly when it comes to simplifying networking workflows and managing AMI lifecycles more efficiently. Additionally, the pricing structure is often confusing. I would appreciate clearer cost forecasting tools and a better breakdown of data transfer costs. The initial setup was also confusing at first, although I managed to get the hang of it quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really love everything about Amazon EC2. The platform stands out for its ability to guide me through the product upload process step by step, making it an incredibly user-friendly experience. I find it offers a lot of benefits, particularly in gaining returning customers, which I achieve by sending newsletters to them. Additionally, the initial setup of Amazon EC2 was very easy, which adds to its appeal. Overall, everything seems to work perfectly without any need for improvements, and I am confident in recommending it, as indicated by my rating of a 10 out of 10.

What I like best about Amazon EC2 is its flexibility and scalability. You can easily adjust compute resources to match your needs—whether you're running small tests or large-scale production workloads. It’s also reliable and integrates seamlessly with other AWS services, which makes deploying and managing infrastructure much simpler. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What I dislike about Amazon EC2 is that the pricing can get complicated, especially when managing multiple instances and storage options. It’s also easy to incur unexpected costs if you forget to stop unused instances. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The reliability and maturity of the platform are unmatched. This means deployments are repeatable, auditable, and incredibly fast. Spinning up a new testing environment that mirrors production takes minutes, not weeks. The ability to start small and incrementally add powerful features as you need them, all while paying only for what you use, is a game-changer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The learning curve is a vertical wall, and the pricing is a minefield. While the power is there, the sheer number of services and acronyms in the console is incredibly overwhelming for a newcomer. It's not always clear which of the five different ways to run a container is the "right" one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Amazon Bedrock AgentCore : A set of tools to build, deploy, and securely operate AI agents at scale.
About Amazon : Amazon S3 Vectors (preview), Native vector support in object storage. Helpful for semantic search / retrieval workflows, etc. Works with Bedrock Knowledge Bases and OpenSearch.
Nova customization & HyperPod support: More control over AWS’s Nova models (in SageMaker etc.), with better SDK for security and flexibility.
Agentic AI tools + Marketplace category
AWS launched a category in its Marketplace for AI agents and tools (so you can find, buy, deploy them more easily).
New AWS Region: Expanding geographic footprint helps in lowering latency, meeting local data residency/regulatory needs, etc.
US Press Center Better performance & cost with chips & infra : Usage of new GPU types (NVIDIA Blackwell, etc.), improvements in cooling (liquid cooling IRHX), new server types, etc. All aiming at more efficient AI training & inference. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Pricing Transparency – Costs can be tricky to estimate; a simpler, more predictable pricing model would help.
Learning Curve – The huge number of services and options can overwhelm new users; more guided workflows and simplified defaults would be great.
Console UI – While functional, the AWS Management Console can feel cluttered; a cleaner, more intuitive interface would improve usability.
Support Response Times – Premium support is excellent, but faster response at lower tiers would benefit small teams.
Service Integration Consistency – Sometimes features roll out unevenly across regions or services, which slows adoption. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
