"I am a cloud architect who have managed multiple applications on AWS cloud"
What do you like best about AWS Cloud?

Aws is helping many IT industries because they are providing varieties of AWS services, Their AWS document is quite powerful and easily understandable even class 10th students can learn and make their application easily, You are providing a free account for beginners which is also a great thing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Cloud?

Community builder is adding yearly and the checklist is quite high, Even senior-level cloud engineers are not able to meet the requirements if they are not publically exposed so well, So AWS can give them chance and disable them if they are not fulfilling their responsibility, My kind of people only react when you assign some task with them Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Awesome cloud service which makes your life easier"
What do you like best about AWS Cloud?

There are a lot of things that make it the best choice for our organization. It provides a great level of security and data privacy which is harder to implement on our own. I like the fact that it is just a 2 min process to run a VM and get your products deployed. It also can monitor resources and costs for all of them through the dashboard and also the ability to get SMS alerts for certain situations like server overload etc.

It also has a very good selection of topics for the tutorial videos that are easy to follow, so you don't need to go anywhere else to learn more about it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Cloud?

In my experience of using it so far I have not encountered any major issues but to nitpick I would say just like other clouds it also has some delays when spinning up a VM or some services respond slowly but occasionally.

Its cost might be one of the cons as it is cost-effective only when used with proper planning or you might end up paying the extra cost for just using 10% of service as the remaining were not useful for you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A power packed NoSQL database."
What do you like best about Amazon DynamoDB?

DynamoDB is best when the data is not the way we have worked with dabases before,

In todays changing data types, DynamoDB comes as a perfect solution when the i/o request velocity is very high which can't be handled flawlessly by traditional DB's. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon DynamoDB?

The main concern is Price, its a bit pricey, which is the main concerns as my clients are on a limited budget.

Secondly, experience wise, it is a bit hard to get accustomed with firsthand,

Documentations are not much helpful.

It's backing up and restoring processes are time consuming to learn and not easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Dynamo DB"
What do you like best about Amazon DynamoDB?

The DynamoDB is the service of AWS in this the user will get the GUI version that is super helpful when creating tables. In this users can integrate with other services in AWS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon DynamoDB?

In DynamDB what I dislike is that it can only be connected and deployed on the Amazon Web Services and can't be able to use with any other cloud services. In DynamoDB if a user will connect the table with joins so it is not possible in it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
