Top-rated for **Likelihood to recommend**. ----- ## Overview ### Key benefits of Amazon EC2 Pay only for the resources that you actually consume, like instance-hours or data transfer. The Amazon EC2 auto-scaling feature allows you to instantaneously increase or decrease capacity. It automatically scales up during spikes to maintain performance and scales down during lulls to save costs. Amazon EC2 allows you to select a configuration of memory, CPU, instance storage, and the boot partition size that is best for your choice of operating system and application. Elastic load balancing enables you to achieve even higher fault tolerance in your applications, seamlessly responding to incoming application traffic by providing the amount of load balancing capacity needed. ## Quick Stats & Ratings | Metric | Rating | Detail | | **Overall** | **4.7/5** | 173 Reviews | | Ease of Use | 4.1/5 | Based on overall reviews | | Customer Support | 4.1/5 | Based on overall reviews | | Value for Money | 4.3/5 | Based on overall reviews | | Features | 4.7/5 | Based on overall reviews | | Recommendation percentage | 90% | (9/10 Likelihood to recommend) | ## About the vendor - **Company**: Amazon Web Services - **Location**: Seattle, US - **Founded**: 2006 ## Commercial Context - **Pricing model**: Usage Based (Free Trial) - **Pricing Details**: Amazon EC2 offers a free tier for the T2 and T3 instances, as well as the new T4g.micro instance.

Love that they charge by the second giving better value. > > **Cons**: It took some time to set up but that's to be expected and worth the time for results. ----- ### "Top cloud service" — 5.0/5 > **Adebayo** | *8 December 2022* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like how very configurable Amazon EC2 is. This gives a user greater control and flexibility when deploying a workload. There are also excellent documentation that gives step by step instructions on how to deploy and configure your EC 2 instance.The customer support is also great from what I have experienced. I used a premium support so the experience may differ from those that are not using premium support. > > **Cons**: The downside to having all the control is that it can be very challenging and complex sometimes. The documentation is great but it can be sometimes hard to find content related to issues you are facing. > > We used Amazon EC2 to host an open source reporting tool and the experience was great. One issue we had was the instance always restarting which changes the IP address and ends up affecting our configuration. But overall the experience was great as soon as we got a hang of how to deploy and manage it. ----- Page: 1 / 8\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.sg/software/124/ec2?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.sg/software/124/ec2) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | ----- ## Structured Data
