Professional solutions with good pricing
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates Amazon EC2 from other similar products?
I like that it offers good pricing compared with other branded solutions. And then the quality of the products are good. For example, in regard to Amazon SES, there are few companies that are so competitive in terms of prices. And then, at the same price, the quality of Amazon SES is better. It is quite reliable, and it seems that if you do things well, they will be fair partners. For example, in Amazon SES it allows more things than the competitors (sned affiliate emails, not blocking your account for some small error, etc).
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
To be honest, I like the price. And also the capacity to scale without restrictions. All of this with good quality. For example, in Amazon SES the delivery rate is good. So you do not have to worry. And even if someone complies, telling that you are using Amazon SES makes people not comply more and accept that the issue should be somewhere else. Also the breadth of innovative services. It is easy to disconver some interesting new products in the list of services.
What do you dislike most about this product?
I dislike that it is difficult to implement. And also it can be difficult to mantain. Therefore, sometimes I go for companies that offer all-in-one solutions, or otherwise I end up loosing a lot of time in something that is not my core business value proposal. Anycase, I like to keep them as a back up service in case other things fail.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
It offer many different services. I would stat with one and familiarize with the platform. It is a long - term investment. But, if you do not want to get into tech, then other options may give more value, as customer service is their strenght.
Pros
- Client Friendly Policies
- Helps Innovate
- Continually Improving Product
- Reliable
