"The ease of use is the biggest benefit."
"It streamlines tasks like table creation and data loading into Redshift, making the process more efficient and manageable."
"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."
"It improves the speed for us to access vendors."
"The installation process is very simple."
"The most valuable features of Amazon AWS are the high level of capabilities, cloud-native environment, developer-friendly, intuitive interface, and automation. The solution overall is easy to learn from the resources available."
"The solution has very good Lambda functions within AWS."
"They are already beginning to implement generative AI."
"The standard sales and marketing tools that Salesforce provides on the platform are the most valuable."
"The solution has plenty of features that are useful."
"When compared to Siebel, the Salesforce Platform is easier to use."
"The reporting tools are very solid."
"The stability has been great."
"The queue management of the solution is its most valuable aspect."
"I'm not sure what the most valuable aspect of the solution is, but I can say that their finance and auditing systems are quite impressive. You can audit in different invoices right to procurement. It's all quite seamless."
"I want to use AWS as a full solution for my website - for domain and website hosting, and everything in between - however, I was not able to find everything together."
"Requires better integration with other cloud products."
"It is difficult to hand over legacy applications when migrating them to the cloud."
"There's not much room for improvement but that being said, they can improve the overall process of the overall product features and backend."
"Its subscription model or pricing model is too complex, which should be improved."
"It has the technical support features, but they need to be improved. It has lots of users, but they need to be managed accordingly."
"There is a feature called Kinesis, which has to do with image processing. There are a few artificial intelligence tools that Amazon AWS should improve on."
"I think Amazon could improve some of the security or fine-grained access for metadata and many other things."
"Although the platform is already set up for you, there's a lot of customization that needs to be done, especially for any new component we start using. For whatever solution we wanted, we had to think for ourselves and design it all on our own. And, unfortunately, there were some components that were not really mature in the beginning, like Tableau for example."
"There's a learning curve. It was a bit hard to understand the logical way of working with it, just at the beginning."
"UI needs to be more intuitive and user friendly."
"It is quite expensive. It has gotten to that point where it is a lot more pricey. It has kind of got its own proprietary language for development. It is probably never going to change, but if it had a more market language for development, it would be easier to find developers. They come at a premium cost, so it is expensive."
"In Salesforce, every customer is unique and it's not possible to bundle them together effectively if they are from the same company or move companies, et cetera."
"The marketing automation needs improvement."
"It could be maybe a bit more user-intuitive."
"This platform is indeed on the expensive side."
