What do you like best about AWS Cloud?

The first thing I like about AWS cloud is it's user friendly user interface and the documentation it offers for its users.

Being the largest cloud provider, it offers vast number of features that one can implement in their software development workflows.

The learning opportunities and contents that AWS offers is very much useful to cloud learners who begin with AWS as their first cloud platform.

Easy integration with multiple other platforms makes it easier for developers to work with in their software development process and day-to-day activities utilising AWS cloud.

Implementing a new workflow in AWS is much easier and simpler compared to the competitors.

The customer support AWS offers is really fantastic, including the basic support that it offers even with free of cost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Cloud?

Given that AWS cloud has plenty of features, the cost of those features really comes at higher price compared to the other cloud providers such as Azure and GCP. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Amazon Redshift?

Amazon Redshift is a game-changer, allowing us to have highly scalable and performance-enabled data warehousing for the complex project. The MPP architecture and columnar storage offer powerful query performance on the platform. Redshift also allowed us easily to integrate several AWS services, such as using S3 for data imports and Glue for ETL operations, and made our pipeline very streamlined so that data transfer and queries were decreased by many times.

With Spectrum, Redshift can handle structured as well as semi-structured data, which will allow efficient cross-database queries and productivity boost with regards to data analytics and reporting. Advanced data compression features and data distribution ensure that storage is optimally utilized while efficiently making use of and managing costs on resources.

What do you dislike about Amazon Redshift?

Though performance and scalability of Redshift are excellent, the system is not very easy to use for optimization and query tuning for new users. Automated tools for better configuration will enable it to reach a diverse set of teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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.

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

Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) is truly a very flexible, powerful, scalable and full of features as AWS claims. I have using the service, including many others, in my organization since I joined, and it has served many production use -cases quite efficiently.

The best thing about Amazon RDS is it's combination of simplicity and power. Be the intuitive design on the console or the powerful CLI commands which were able to automate everything that I liked and wanted, this database is a great option for anyone looking either to migrate their on-premises databases, or choose a cloud database.

The ability AWS provides regarding scaling to up or down sizes on -demans is very good, which not only helps to meet the live customer API calls, but also helps us to manage and reduce our cost.

Even though we utilised the RDS for MySQL, MS SQL and PostGre SQL, the integration with other databases like MariaDB and more is quite appreciative, that enables us to work on projects for some customers using unconventional databases too.

I also loved the ease of connecting it to an EC2 instances whole creating the database itself, and how AWS manages many things automatically. Also, the option of managing the database credentials using Systems Manager for safety and security purpose, and ensuring nothing goes leaked is a very amazing feature as well.

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

I don't feel something too strong to dislike about Amazon RDS, but there are certain things where improvements can surely happen. One of them and what I feel, most important, is the proper integration of RDS databases to other identity providers like Microsoft Entra, Okta etc. If the credentials can totally be removed using this seamless integration, then it will truly complete even further use cases, and Excel on the security side better.

Also, Amazon RDS can fasten the application of patches/updates on our database as soon as they are released, so that we are always ahead in the update race as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Amazon Aurora?

Aurora provides us with much better performance speed than a normal traditional database. It also provides continuous automated backups in s3 without halting the live functionality of the application in the real world.

As Aurora is a managed service it becomes very easy to deploy within a few minutes.

Aurora also provides seamless integration with many AWS services for AI/ML like bedrock and Amazon SageMaker. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon Aurora?

One of the main issues we run into in Aurora is that you need to keep your database in constant auto-scaling but temporary storage is local to a computing instance and depends on its class. So if your ALTER statement requires lots of temporary space to rebuild table/index, it may fail because of insufficient local storage.

One of the other disadvantages is that we can't use the SUPER mysql command, as that is blocked. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
