All services with pay as you go feature, global infrastructure, scalability & flexibility, security, more than 300 services including AI&ML all in one place, IAC code and automation, ease of implementation and good customer support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Cloud?

Complex pricing structure, it has costing for each and every services for if you use it for a minute or two, documentation in not very much proper in each document you have to go to another document to get more info about that. GUI changes very frequently somehow we get usedto the gui but the moment we get used to it the gui changes which make it difficult to understand the gui. support plans are costly if you want more better support for ease of implementation Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"12 Years In — Still One of the Most Transformative Platforms in Tech"
What do you like best about AWS Cloud?

I've been using AWS for over 12 years, and it’s no exaggeration to say it helped shape my career. I've built products on AWS that have impacted industries and people, and the platform has never let me down. The breadth, reliability, and depth of services have made it possible to move fast, scale confidently, and bring big ideas to life.

What’s equally impressive is that their customer-centric philosophy isn’t just talk — it’s real. Every interaction I’ve had, especially in moments of need through support, has reinforced that they genuinely care about their users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Cloud?

I send all of my constructive feedback to the contributors and leaders at the organization. They are easy to access and they are always ready to listen. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Cloud?

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.
