What differentiates AWS Systems Manager from other similar products?

I think AWS is the solid pioneer and leader in real management of cloud environments. It excels on absolutly everything.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The ease of managing each and every one of its components. There is also no denying the rate at which AWS grows and offers new technologies.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Nothing at all!

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

If you are a student or intern, AWS offers you a free tier account where you can set up your first cloud environment. Just be careful with monitoring your consumption so that you do not exceed the limits of the free tier. If so, customer support can review your case and offer help if necessary.

Pros

Helps Innovate
Continually Improving Product

The best virtual instances on the best platform!

Likeliness to Recommend

10 /10

What differentiates AWS Systems Manager from other similar products?

EC2 has it all in order to deploy a functional server in the shortest possible time and in the most appropriate way. Do you want storage volumes? You got it. Do you want network profiles? You got it. Do you want scalable servers in resources? They are there. Custom profiles? Detatched data? Virtual IP? You can imagine why it is the best on the market.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Easy to use, not so difficult to master.

What do you dislike most about this product?

I can´t think of anything that i dislike about EC2...

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Look for tutorials on the internet and you will see how easy it is to raise your first instance in EC2. Take special consideration when configuring your network profiles and the security of your instance because if your instance is compromised, you could end up paying more for the misuse that hackers give it.
