Find out in this report how the two PaaS Clouds solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The services that we are using have frequent updates, at least twice a year. They provide a new version that has more capabilities or features that fit our process and procedures."
"Easy to access and secure, two important features."
"There is less work for the DBAs. Everything is handled in AWS itself."
"It streamlines tasks like table creation and data loading into Redshift, making the process more efficient and manageable."
"Amazon AWS is very user-friendly."
"The technical support is good."
"The reason I like AWS is that they have a large market share and a large presence. When it comes to our use case, a big positive is that MuleSoft and AWS are working together very well. So instead of competing against each other, they're meshing together."
"We deploy our core application and our integration platform on AWS EC2 instances. These applications contain multiple containerized Python Django applications, which need to scale up and down dynamically."
"Seurity features - unauthorized individuals are unable to access certain applications."
"The solution is serverless, so we don't have to operate it."
"Google App Engine's most valuable feature is self-management. You do not have to manage the infrastructure underneath where all the functions are happening, such as load balancing deployment and version management, they are managed by the system itself."
"It is simple to use. It is much simpler than AWS. It is also very powerful."
"The WhatApp feature is the most valuable."
"Administering App Engine is simple; it has intuitive UIs and a very scalable app engine."
"The product's initial setup phase was straightforward, considering that there is good documentation explaining the implementation part of it."
"The product's setup and deployment phases are easy."
"There should be seminars and online training sessions available from AWS because a lot of people who are not using it would benefit from having the basic knowledge or basic hands-on experience."
"I would appreciate more direct support from AWS."
"We like everything about the solution except for the general price."
"When you are first starting, the initial setup can be a bit complex, but it gets easier after that."
"I'm just bugged by the charges that I'm not really able to manage."
"Instead of using some third-party solutions, Amazon should include them as part of its offering."
"The networking models used in AWS, while functional, do have room for improvement. This is especially the fact, considering that they are built/presented from a systems perspective."
"Amazon AWS could improve on security."
"There needs to be more directions in terms of how to use the solution."
"I think there's still a lot that can be done with Google Meet and the video conferencing part of it. It could be more dynamic in terms of what can be done with it."
"Some features of runtime don't work well in App Engine."
"The support for the Indian region is not as good as compared to the support that is offered to the regions in Europe."
"Difficult to assess how pricing is managed."
"The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"I am limited to sending a photo to five people. I want to be able to send a photo to many people, not just five."
"The documentation and community are lacking for this product."
