What do you like best about Amazon DynamoDB?
Up-front pricing offered by DynamnoDB (as with all AWS services) is great given that some of the competitors out there have very nebulous pricing plans. Automated scaling and replication is great, so you're saving the cost of (probably) a full-time DBA person. Storage is fast too: SSDs are very superior to having your own SATA drives running Mongo or the like. The low learning curve (of querying the DB) is great as well.

What do you dislike about Amazon DynamoDB?
Multiple indicies is something that it lacks. This results in DynamoDB being great for key lookups, but really bad for multiple predicate queries. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Amazon DynamoDB?
I was interested in using DynamoDB so I wouldn't have to create an maintain a MongoDB cluster. The high availability is nice and seems to be quite easy to scale up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike about Amazon DynamoDB?
Not enough tools to support usage. MongoDB has many very mature ORMs and great community support. Development with DynamoDB was incredibly slow and difficult.
Learning how to use DynamoDB is difficult because of the unfriendliness of the AWS documentation. The documentation are very vague, in a generic layout clearly not fit for it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Amazon DynamoDB?
For me, the best part of DynamoDB is the price and the fact that it is stored on SSDs. It's hard to find a better deal than that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike about Amazon DynamoDB?
The API, at least when I was using it, for Node was pretty horrible. Not sure if it has been updated since. But it is unlike any other database I have used, in a negative way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

DynamoDB is very easy to setup and use. Even the free-tier provides enough functionality for a small to medium-sized web-application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike about Amazon DynamoDB?
The only thing I did not like so far is that secondary indices always require to upgrade to the payed-tier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
