Overall Satisfaction with Amazon Web Services

AWS is being used by the IT department mainly. We take advantage of manged VMs, serverless databases, and different services in order to publish our web applications to external and internal users. It is also used by our analytics department for predictions.
AWS addresses operational costs related to on-premise infrastructure; it helps to simplify infrastructure management and in other cases, eliminating infrastructure management.
  • Serverless services remove overhead from IT department.
  • Diversity of services. Anything you need, it is there.
  • Support through official channels or even through unofficial ones helps you never get stuck on anything.
  • Mobile app for AWS console is very limited.
  • Site-to-site VPNs provide no logs for troubleshooting.
  • Grub access in VMs would be nice.
  • Savings on operational costs (no datacenter, small infrastructure team).
AWS, in my opinion, is the most mature and popular cloud. It provides the biggest number of services available and the provider which innovates the most.
AWS is well suited for secure, highly available, low latency web apps, running databases (any engine), storing your data (sensitive or not), running microservices, serverless architectures or IaaS. It can be used by anyone even if you don't have any experience. It works for companies of any size, market, and geographic location.
