What differentiates Amazon EC2 from other similar products?
Cost tiers were very good with comparison to Azure. We also use Azure for Windows-based servers but the network capabilities and support made AWS a winner for Linux solution.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
Cost, networking and support structure.

Only downside is having two different eco systems with our Windows servers on Azure and Linux on AWS so creates slightly more overhead for finance department to handle two vendors instead of one.

Definitely get all the pricing info you can in comparison to Azure.
