Developer Consumer Goods Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "AWS management console needs some user interface management to do" February 7, 2025 4.0 Overall, my experience has been positive, but as mentioned the cluttered user interface can be problematic when I need to find a specific service. Also the billing page is lost in the clutter and makes it difficult for bill management and payment even after having a great cost estimation tool for the services that I have used on AWS Pros I appreciate the amount of tools and services that are available in the console. It sums up all of the services in a well defined interface with the most important parts right in front of the user Cons The amount of services that AWS provides in general is a lot, and in order for them to fit on a single platform, the management console might look too daunting and cluttered to new users. The UI could use a rework and allow ease of access to people who are new to the platform Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Chef de projet Internet Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Un excellent outil pour la gestion des ressources sur AWS" February 5, 2025 4.0 Pros C'est de pouvoir personnaliser les tableaux de bord et de pouvoir gérer plusieurs services et ressources AWS sous un même tableau de bord. Cons Je trouve que certaines fonctionnalités avancées ne sont pas toujours bien documentées ou peuvent être difficiles à trouver. Switched from [Vultr](https://www.capterra.com/p/228645/Vultr/)[Microsoft Azure](https://www.capterra.com/p/16365/Azure/)[Linode](https://www.capterra.com/p/210618/Linode/) On trouve que AWS a une offre plus complète pour le cloud et la navigation dessus est moins complexe surtout par rapport à Azure.

I no longer need to carry around a powerful laptop as I can run a powerful instance on AWS and when needed. This has revolutionized the way I work. I can easily test out things on AWS environment before deploying them in a real environment. Pros The graphical user interface of AWS management console is quite user friendly and easy to get started with for all type of users. Through the console, you get access to all AWS services including EC2 instances, storage services, public IPs etc. You can easily add and remove resources using the console in a matter of a few clicks. The search engine functionality of the console is quite good. I mostly find myself finding things(e.g. billing management) by searching them rather than navigating. I like that you can easily add resources to existing EC2 instances through the console. For example, the other day I needed to add ram to my EC2 instance, and I easily did that through the console. AWS have added two factor authentication when logging on to the console to increase the security of your account. This way, your account cannot be easily hacked. Through the console, you can create resources in different regions which costs differently enabling you to access the cheapest deals possible. Cons If you are dealing with bulk activities, these are better handled with automation scripts or the AWS Command Line Interface as using the management console can prove more time consuming and less efficient. There is a some sort of learning curve involved in being able to efficiently navigate all the features of the management console. Hiring help with that can be expensive since the cost of solutions architects can be expensive The cost of AWS can be expensive for small businesses with smaller revenue and therefore not sustainable.

Pros Aws Console has robust security measures, monitoring capabilities, an intuitive user interface, offers very good cloud administration, and service availability Cons sometimes slow to load ,due to huge number of services navigation is some what complex Review Source Aditi S. Co-Founder Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Best to tackle high peaks!" February 4, 2025 4.0 AWS Management Console I think is by far the best when it comes to determining customer needs. We are a new into this field this application came to our rescue with it's amazing and versatile set of features during peak times. It saved our website from crashing down. Pros The GDPR ensures secure transactions and so far it has helped us overcome major obstacles that were rather hard to fix. The back-up is easy to implement and protects the data. It's integration has helped us go online on Shopify. The Support is very helpful in that respect. Our team was quick to pick up the pace after frequent use of their flexible tools. Cons The application is cost effective thus, so far we haven't encountered any cons. Review Source SK Surendhar K. Senior DevOps Engineer Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A powerful and user friendly Cloud control center" April 18, 2025 5.0 Pros Easy to navigate for beginners, with visual tools like dashboard, graphs, and wizards. You can manage resources without needing to know the CLI or APIs. Works well with IAM for controlling who can do what in console. Cons Manual clicks don't scale well. For repeatable infrastructure or automation, you need the CLI, SDK or IAC tools like terraform. It's not easy to version control or audit infra changes done via the UI. Review Source Iddy H. Solution Architect Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "A Gateway to Cloud Management" January 21, 2025 5.0 The AWS Management Console provides a user-friendly graphical interface to interact with AWS services, catering to users with varying technical expertise. While it offers a simple and accessible way to manage AWS resources, Pros It is accessible from anywhere with an internet connection and a supported browser. Cons The console is not well-suited for performing bulk operations, such as modifying multiple instances or resources at once.

EC2 Instances: Creates, launches, and manages the virtual servers. Lambda Functions: Runs code without managing servers. Cons It's pay per use feature isn't that likeable as it seems. We may not know or may not be able to estimate budget while using and the risk is there of its going out of control. So, it should be used only by experts or under the guidance of an advisor.

Developer Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Appreciated by the experienced ones" January 7, 2025 4.0 I started using AWS Console for a small project and I felt a not-so-smooth learning curve ahead of me. Eventually, I managed to use it for the services I needed, but it is not the easiest one, also because of the huge complexity and scale of AWS products. Pros It is a feature-rich interface, generally appreciated by the experienced developer working with AWS for several years Cons As said in the pros, it is really dense of information. This means that it is, on the other hand, overwhelming for the new learner, requiring a stronger guidance than competitor's managment consoles, in my opinion Review Source KM Karl M. CISO Financial Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Comprehensive management console to secure our AWS " February 5, 2025 5.0 It works as advertised and it keeps getting better. It's the foundation for our AWS environment and it's something that gets used everyday. Pros The AWS management console has evolved significantly over the years. There's a plethora of features that lets us configure our AWS environment in a very granular manner. It has a large selection of security features that allow us to protect our AWS environment in a deep way. The console is easy to use, navigate and get acquainted with. The looks and feel have also improved recently. Cons There was a learning curve in the previous iteration that made the console difficult to navigate. Some features were not easily found.

Senior Developer Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Powerful, but demands patience to master" January 27, 2025 5.0 It's a robust and great tool for managing the cloud intrastate and offers flexible control over all AWS services. While it has depth of integration and is more impressive. It's ideal for technical and enterprise users but less intuitive for normal and non-technical users. Pros AWS Management Console excels in its user-friendly interface and comprehensive functionalities to manage the cloud software. The real-time monitor and customised options of the dashboard a brilliant options. I think I love its integration with other AWS tools to ensure seamless workflow for beginner and advanced-level users. Cons Because it's a powerful tool and it feels overwhelming for newcomers due to its complexity and vast area of the services. Navigating between the different regions is not seamless. Slow load times, especially when trying to manage large resources and limited search functionality are painful most of the time. Review Source FM Flavio M. QA Analyst Banking Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Available from anywhere" October 16, 2025 5.0 Pros Ease of use to manage roles in AWS is fantastic and intuitive.

Senior Security Analyst Computer & Network Security Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Efficient cloud computing journey" December 7, 2024 5.0 Highly satisfied with the usage of this cloud service. With a clear understanding of one's requirements and the right selection of AWS services, its full potential can be effectively harnessed Pros All services can be utilized in various combinations within a defined framework, seamlessly integrating to meet specific demands. Cost optimization is a key feature, allowing for fine-tuning of resource usage and tracking of underutilized resources. Also on-demand functionalities and pre-defined scaling of compute and storage resources further enhance cost efficiency. Cons The cost forecast is somewhat inaccurate, it gives a tentative estimate. Deleting instances can be challenging, even with super admin roles. While cost management is possible, the pricing feels a bit steep. Review Source AKT A. K. T.

" January 5, 2025 4.0 Overall I think AWS is an industry leader due to the ability to make anything you want with their mass amount of services though it is not for the faint hearted and can come with a high learning curve and cost. Pros Breadth of services, customisable, good API. Cons Complexity is high though there are plenty of good resources and documentation. Cost can also be high depending on the requirements.
