"Effortless Scaling That Keeps Peak Traffic Running Smoothly"

4.5/5

What do you like best about AWS Auto Scaling?

I like that AWS Auto Scaling is a one-time setup and integrates seamlessly. It avoids manual intervention and constant monitoring, and it can take care of applications and infrastructure on its own. The auto scaling groups and scaling policies let me set the resources I need at different times of day, so AWS handles scaling up for busy periods and scaling down later. This helped us avoid running short on resources for AppStream users during heavy traffic. The setup was pretty easy and self-explanatory. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Auto Scaling?

I think there’s room to improve the training materials and add AI that can suggest auto scaling groups or policies based on my requirements. That would make things more helpful and reduce the learning curve at first. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is AWS Auto Scaling solving and how is that benefiting you?

Before AWS Auto Scaling, I had to constantly monitor usage and manually add resources for our EC2 instances and AppStream; during unexpected or busy periods, users sometimes couldn’t log in or experienced crashes. With scaling groups and policies, I can schedule resources for peak times and scale them down later, without manual intervention. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
