One Stop Solution For All Cloud Computing Tasks
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates Amazon EC2 from other similar products?
It is easy to operate and control. A single click is used to finish the entire process, from creation to termination. Here, even changing the settings is simple, and a free tier account is provided
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
I adore the setting-selection option available when launching new EC2 instances using an AMI. I'm inspired to use the dashboard even more by how well it works. Additionally, the CLI support enables quick and simple completion of all tasks using standard commands.
What do you dislike most about this product?
The cost of the services is a little high when compared to other cloud service providers. For access to the free trial service, users must register for an AWS account using a credit card. Otherwise, users won't be able to utilize any services.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
The best part about EC2 is how affordable it is while still providing all the capabilities a cloud user would require. I can't obtain a lot of things from other cloud service providers, and I believe using EC2 has a little less latency, which is another reason it's a great choice.

The Ideal Cloud Platform
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates Amazon EC2 from other similar products?
It's simple to use and manipulate. Everything is done with a single click, from creation to termination. Even customizing the configuration is not difficult here, and for practice, it offers a free tier account for an entire year.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
The finest aspect is the AWS EC2 servers, which are highly inventive and nimble in nature, and can be scaled up and down at any moment. I can buy EC2 instances at any time and add more if needed, which gives us full flexibility and is very important for our overall application, so this is the one I like the best. On the other hand, I also like the AWS console, which is easy to use and view and provides all the little details related to our multiple AWS accounts, reports can be easily imported from there, and I also like the platform's premium support service, which is cost-effective.
What do you dislike most about this product?
I'm not thrilled that it doesn't regard deleting and terminating in the same manner. Allocating resources might take time, and the default allocation limits are not high. And it becomes quite expensive once the free tier period expires.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
The finest part is that they provide a wide range of services. Many are included in the "Always free" and "12 months free" programs. This provides some opportunities without requiring any investment.
Pros
- Continually Improving Product
- Reliable
- Unique Features
- Efficient Service
