What do you like best about AWS Cloud?

The first thing I like about AWS cloud is it's user friendly user interface and the documentation it offers for its users.

Being the largest cloud provider, it offers vast number of features that one can implement in their software development workflows.

The learning opportunities and contents that AWS offers is very much useful to cloud learners who begin with AWS as their first cloud platform.

Easy integration with multiple other platforms makes it easier for developers to work with in their software development process and day-to-day activities utilising AWS cloud.

Implementing a new workflow in AWS is much easier and simpler compared to the competitors.

The customer support AWS offers is really fantastic, including the basic support that it offers even with free of cost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Cloud?

Given that AWS cloud has plenty of features, the cost of those features really comes at higher price compared to the other cloud providers such as Azure and GCP. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

AWS solves the need for a data center for hosting and deploying our applications.

As a startup, it was much easier for us to implement new resources in AWS and reduced the time required to launch our product in the market.

It offers multiple services which are readily available in AWS with much less configuration changes needed.

It helps us save costs and focus on building the business instead of managing the data center and its servers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Only the thing i dislike about AWS is naming of its services its not easier to find a service related to a particular search and naming its terms .

like example suppose S3 any new fresher wont be able to identify it as a storage service and the related term bucket it should have something named related to storage.

like other services like lightsail we wont know it is severless if you are a fresher. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
