What do you like best about AWS Cloud?

The essential features of AWS cloud are flexibility and fully-managed infrastructure feature.

AWS cloud gives the flexibility to choose the system configuration and availability. Also, It manages all the backed functionality of the server all by itself. We must choose the system according to our requirements, use whenever we like, and pay accordingly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Cloud?

There is nothing much to dislike about AWS Cloud since I have used this for a long time. The only thing which is a must to have when using AWS cloud is the internet. So If you don't have a good internet connection, you will experience slow service as everything is on the cloud, and you need good internet connection. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

AWS cloud is the most cost-effective solution for setting up a business. It eliminates the need for physical infrastructure and provides us with all the cloud facilities. It gives an entire or semi-managed infrastructure facility, saving time and cost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
