"Secure, Private VPC Connectivity That Simplifies AWS Networking"

4/5

What do you like best about AWS PrivateLink?

What I like most about AWS PrivateLink is that it enables secure, private connectivity between VPCs, AWS services, and third-party SaaS applications without exposing any traffic to the public internet. The communication remains entirely within the AWS network, which strengthens security and also helps simplify overall network architecture.

PrivateLink is especially valuable for organizations with strict security and compliance requirements, since in many scenarios it eliminates the need for Internet Gateways, NAT Gateways, VPNs, or more complex VPC peering setups. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS PrivateLink?

The initial networking setup can be a bit complex, particularly when you’re working across multiple AWS accounts. Getting interface endpoints, endpoint services, DNS settings, and security groups configured correctly takes a solid understanding of AWS networking concepts. Costs can also add up quickly if you end up deploying a large number of interface endpoints. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is AWS PrivateLink solving and how is that benefiting you?

AWS PrivateLink helps solve secure service connectivity challenges.

Example:

We exposed an internal application running behind a Network Load Balancer to multiple AWS accounts using PrivateLink. Rather than setting up VPC peering connections or making the application public, consumer VPCs accessed the service through Interface VPC Endpoints.

Overall, this approach simplified the networking setup, reduced security risk, and gave us centralized control over which accounts were allowed to access the service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
