The vendor promised expertise to help us integrate our on-prem technology to the AWS cloud so we could have enterprise wide technology platforms. We never talked to anyone at AWS with the technical knowledge promised. We never even talked to anyone at AWS who had even heard of anyone with the promised tech background and skills. Some of the AWS staff were very knowledgeable and helpful. But in the end their main goal was to get us using as much AWS product and solutions as possible. This severely weakened our install and delayed our productivity and migration and ended up costing us a ton of money. AWS staff led us down paths that could not support the design that they had suggested, causing costly rebuild and technology redesign. Their encryption offerings were particularly troublesome, limited, and unable to function as promised.

Performance of AWS Cloud Services Across Market Features

AWS Cloud Services Likes & Dislikes

The elasticity of resource allocation. It is really useful in cases where the business flows require a raised infrastructure setup only in specific moments in time.

Some of their people were brilliant and very helpful. The cloud does provide help in the fork-lifting aspect.

I like how easy it is to configure and how automatically it adjusts to our needs. The integration with other AWS resources adds to its strength and performance in managing the interaction with the customer.

I sometimes find it difficult to generate a precise cost estimation on the desired setup.

Its expensive for what you get. Everything in the cloud is code. So the learning curve for an organization is immense. (Imagine even your security team, network engineers and front line access management level one people having to take months of scripting training to perform basic functions you can do now with a few clicks). The end game for AWS is not your best solution, but finding ways to get you to use the highest number of AWS products and solutions and settle for them even when they are far below enterprise standards.

One thing that upsets me is the occasional problem with call quality, including delay or a muffled sound, which may affect customer experience in periods of congestion

Exploring AWS: A Comprehensive Look at Scalability and Reliability

Dec 10, 2024

I have been using AWS for over 4 years now and the experience has been amazing wrt on premise setup. The solutions are scalable, reliable and more robust than the legacy infrastructure. Best thing is that commercially its a pay as you go model, so it does not involve any upfront payments that can burn a hole or require heavy approval, you are required to pay for what you consume. the length and breadth of the services available is something commendable. The SLAs are also very crisp and tight. Also, from the compliances perspective it covers you tightly.
