"Is AWS cloud right for you?"
What do you like best about AWS Cloud?

There are several things I like about AWS cloud, It provides many features like:

- high availability through az's (availability zones), regions, etc.

- high performance regarding network and compute power.

- security.

- Excelent support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Cloud?

I would say one cons, is that is not something maybe for small business, if you're beginning with your company, another host provider would be a better fit for you. Also, you have a certain knowledge to deliver a good, reliable good infrastructure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Comprehensive and Reliable Database Management with Amazon RDS: A Balanced Perspective"
What do you like best about Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS)?

What I like best about Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) is its ability to simplify the management of relational databases with automated backups, scaling, and maintenance. This allows users to focus on application development without worrying about the underlying database infrastructure. The seamless integration with other AWS services and robust security features further enhance its appeal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS)?

What I dislike about Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) is the potential for high costs, especially with large-scale deployments and additional features like read replicas and Multi-AZ configurations. Additionally, the limited customization options can be a drawback for those who need deep control over their database environment, and the complexity of managing multi-region deployments can be challenging. The risk of vendor lock-in is also a concern, making it difficult to migrate to other services in the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS)?

The ease of use to just provision the service, and focus on your code. the Implementation is very easy. You can enable number of features and extentions by just one click. The managed service, all the care is from AWS side, you just focus on the queries. You just use the connection string with password, which means easy integration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS)?

There are many plus points but for the negative side, you can consider the costing and some other very low side dislike points like when you are using the networking, you should be able to have prpoer idea of networking etc. The update sometimes also takes high time.

"Managed Cloud database By Amazon"
What do you like best about Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS)?

It has been 3 years of using the RDS Service, the best feature which I like is the autoscaling without any operational overhead.

As the traffic increases service will sacled up and then become on lower once traffic lows by this way the costing is pay as you go.

Huge metrics will be helpful in deciding the least configuration and How much sacling is required.

MIgration from on-permises server to AWS RDS was awesome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS)?

Costing is somehow complex and expensive. Also some time when large no. of traffic on the server and performing the continuos querying with the Database will not given the point to autoscale that hand traffic due to which server gone away error will face. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"DevOps Engineer @ TkXel"
What do you like best about Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS)?

The managed service with full care from AWS side, what you have to just use the service, rest of the managment is from AWS side. The implementation is very easy. You can avail Customer Support and can integrate with any application easily, just focus on your code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS)?

What I have come as a dislike part of AWS RDS from client side is that they are complaining against the cost. Next thing is the time when the service is getting on update and you cannot modify. One thing is to create a tunnel for the private DB is a challengin part. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
