Amazon Q Business Reviews & Product Details

We are using Amazon Q Code Whisperer as a general code completion and generation tool. It is very easy to use both standalone and as a plugin for VSCode. The code completion feature is great and have a good understanding of full software project we are working on, as well as good insights on AWS-specific items. The AWS-specific comprehension is a major plus as it speeds up the development of Infrastructure as Code files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While Amazon Q claims to be able to generate full project-level files, I personally found this feature to be incomplete. Given the right prompts it does, as promised, create all the needed files for the task, with a reasonable code-skill level, but it has been my experience that post-generation additions or fixes tend to break the existing code.

I like Amazon Q because it enhances the terminal experience by adding a UI layer, making it incredibly easy to browse folders and files and autocomplete and suggest commands; even on terminals like iTerm2 (which is old compared to Warp or Hyper), and does it natural, smooth and responsive feeling as it was just extra native features of the terminal. The Ask AI feature is a game-changer—it’s perfect for quickly searching, troubleshooting, or getting suggestions for bash scripts and commands. This tool transforms the terminal into a powerful and intuitive workspace, making navigation and scripting much easier and more efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike only a few things. I don't like how often I need to re-authenticate into my account. Although it is easy to do, it can be frustrating sometimes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love using Amazon Q for generating my infrastructure as CDK code. It's also very helpful when generating code for any AWS services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't like that it seems to generate outdated libraries or sometimes libraries that don't exist. Although, this is pretty common with most tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like how 'Amazon Q' helps in code suggestion and debugging. I can also select a piece of code ask it explain that code Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
