AWS provides n number of services for each slab, whether it be business, enterprise, developer or any individual. It integrates with multiple platforms.

There is a free version that one can opt for, and If you are an individual exploring the services, you do not have to buy into the entire ecosystem, and there is no hurry from AWS for you to do so.

Privacy and data theft is a concern for most of the organizations.

Though it provides pay as you use service but sometimes it can be trouble if the on-going services are not stopped when not in use.

Constant changes in rates makes it a problem to set a budget of services that are used. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
