Amazon RDS – Bewertungsseite 3

Vorteile

easy to set up using the interface provided
Highly Scalable, securable
Automatic Backups

Nachteile

costly service, billing is based on the usage of the service.

Vorteile

I love how robust RDS is and how reliable it has been!

Nachteile

I was annoyed at some of the security group requirements, but otherwise it's great.

Vorteile

It's super easy to scale your database instances with a simple command through the CLI or through the web UI. It is also super easy to set up a master-follower pattern.

Nachteile

It is a bit pricey compared to just hosting your own DB on an EC2 instance. The instances themselves also are not as configurable as I would like at times (timezone, etc).

Vorteile

RDS support different DBMS's like mysql, postgres, and also a hybrid Aurora,

Taking snapshot and creating a new DB with the snapshots are easy, can also schedule snapshot taking,

We can set all the network settings to the datable , like VPC, subnet, security groups etc.. to keep the DB secure,

Using Aurora we can also setup a dynamically scaling up DB, which runs on server-less system methodology

Nachteile

I don't have any problems in traditional DBMS's , but have seen some issues with hybrid Aurora,

In Aurora, setting up the Copy to S3 future require some additional effort,

And auto scaling in aurora should have been configurable, since the default scaling policy is 90% of CPU usage,
the system is not responsive for scale down, it never scale down to 0

Vorteile

It takes away the need for me to maintain a system just for developers to hack on. The backups are simple to restore and automatic. If something breaks the restore procedure is a few clicks. It abstracts away a lot of the DBA work that I don't want to do. I can still log into the server from the terminal. It is easy to make clones.

Nachteile

In my experience it is expensive. At large transaction volumes it would likely be better to get a dedicated hardware solution. In general the learning curve for most AWS services is a lot for a proprietary solution. I wouldn't want store business critical data on a vendor locked platform like this.

Vorteile

Its just simple sql database, as good as mysql

Nachteile

Its better to create own instances with free software

Vorteile

this product is amazing. I really love all the features.

Nachteile

I don't have any cons about this product.

Vorteile

It is one of the most simple and lightweight solutions available in the market with amazing scalability as per the usage, its disaster recovery is great.
The read replica structure helps to manage a huge load. Supports various DB services such as Oracle, MySQL, Postgres and SQL Server.

Nachteile

The management of the RDS parameters becomes a difficult task if you are not familiar with the UI. The price might be on the higher side for small projects with large data storage.

Vorteile

The ease and setup in starting for the first time. There is almost no learning curve. Also the options of availability, read replicas, and backups are unmatched. This is one of the best platforms to host any type of database.

Nachteile

I have no qualms with Amazon RDS. I was having some issues connecting to my database at first, but it is almost always a user error. AWS RDS is a solid platform and service.

Vorteile

1. Easy Interface and Security. Really liked the 2FA and Verification. Convenient for teams and DB Admin.
2. API is amazing. Python API is very powerful with many options to encrypt data on the go.

Nachteile

Nothing as such to dislike about. Really convenient and Nice software to use. Online Docs and Guides help me when I am Stuck.

Vorteile

it's easy to setup but yet really powerful.

Nachteile

I don't have any cons about Amazon RDS, sorry

Vorteile

Amazon continues to achieve the best in this field as always. I think it is good that it dominates the database market because it is a good example and competitive environment for other similar applications.

Nachteile

I have not had a bad experience, I am extremely pleased. Using amazon credits jointly on all services is an impressive feature. I did not have any compatibility problems and I was very satisfied with the overall quality.

Vorteile

If you have a choice of building your own infrastructure for the database server, or choosing RDS,
I will suggest , go with RDS. Amazon has made it very easy to create your own database servers.
All you have to do is ,log in to aws and choose RDS services and the memory, storage capacity,
user access as per your requirements. Also, backup your data in s3 for later use.

Nachteile

Your entire dependency is on Amazon servers, so that could be a con

Vorteile

If you need to have an instance of a DB fast, RDS is for you. In a quick way you can create an instance and have access anywhere. If you need to create backups just some clicks, or some call to the API, it's really easy to use.

Nachteile

Probably one disadvantage it's that doesn't support a lot of DB, but supports the most commercial. So that depends on what you work.

Vorteile

everything is there. complete set of needs in everything.

Nachteile

some of the items are expensive than the other online shop or store

Vorteile

Amazon RDS (Amazon Relational Database Service) is a very powerful Service hosted by AWS. It's very easy to Setup and Run complex Database Instances. You can choose between Amazon Aurora (AWS own database System), PostgrSQÖ, MySQL, MariaDB, Oracle and MSSQL Server. It's very easy to Setup Things like Data Replication or Scale the DB up or down.

Nachteile

if u are using MSSQL Server you are only able to work with the database engine - SSAS is not available (which makes sense in the context of working wih a database but it might me a stumbling Stone)

Vorteile

RDS is fully managed, so no need to managing the software on your own. The pricing can work for you if you are using the software moderately.

Nachteile

The shared security provided is quite a let down. AWS also does not provide the best insights into the performance of the database which would be available if you chose to set up MySQL on your own.

Vorteile

Using RDS its easier to setup and maintain relational databases, we dont need a professional DevOps engineer. Its easier to scale and supports almost all major relational databases.

Nachteile

There are no such cons to this product, only thing is its a bit costly. Also if you are starting up a product/project it's costly since there are no small instances available. Even for a development environment, you have to buy a large machine. Apart from these since it saves a headache, its worth the money

Vorteile

Easy to create, configure and manage relational databases through the web console. Integration with our application is seamless.

Nachteile

Sometimes it takes more time to execute and get the results when compare with local database instances in EC2.

Vorteile

Amazon RDS, among other Amazon services, is a great service. No headache setting up and managing MySQL servers on my own. All of that hassle is handled by Amazon now, so our engineering team can focus on more important things.

Once you figure out how to navigate and setup the service, it becomes very easy to setup things like auto-scaling. Backups are easy too.

Nachteile

It's a little bit tricky to figure out all of the nuances related to setting up and configuring the clusters.

Vorteile

Amazon RDS helps to setup databases like Oracle, Postgress, mysql on AWS cloud very easily and everything is on clicks. It helps in setting up big infrastructure increasing nodes decreasing nodes easily. really your should not think about hardware and installation process of databases. Also provides nice dashboard which helps us to understand health of system.

Nachteile

Not really negative but you should properly estimate how much infra is needed for your project and setup accrodingly, Billing is main important thing in AWS if you over build infra than required it will cost more. and also as it is pay per use need to monitor usage and downgrade if needed to save cost.

Vorteile

Its performance has been flawless since the beginning, it also makes constant updates to keep your data secured and it provides you with tips and tutorials on how to make your DB secure and keep it working perfectly.

Nachteile

I think it could be way easier to use, at the beginning I used to get confused because there were too many options in a confusing dashboard. But other than that is great.

Vorteile

Love using sql server with Amazon RDS for startup companies. Easy, no infrastructure management, we can focus on the development without spending too much time on the setup

Nachteile

Cost is difficult to figure out but in the end not too bad for medium-size companies.

Vorteile

My company uses AWS more then 4 month and we got 300 dollars credit from Amazom!
For this moment we are happy with this service

Nachteile

Very hard to understand and find something with big infrastructure of AWS
We need to hire specialist with special knowledge

Vorteile

I liked the pricing and the support was adequate, if not directly then indirectly on forms and the like.

Nachteile

I worry about policy makers who are willing to police what information can be shown on a hosted site and what they may disagree with in the future.

Vorteile

It is very easy to configure and very stable, fast and powerful. The tools AWS gives for RDs is one of the best I have seen. Documentation is also very well written.

Nachteile

I cannot really find many disadvantages but I guess I could say is not entirely intuitive to set up. But if you get a hold of the documentation is fairly easy.

Vorteile

This software actually offers a platform for trading to most of the countries in the world.

Nachteile

The software is not reliable at low networked areas .

Vorteile

Gold standard in SaaS/IaaS database services. Handles many tasks and configuration options for you. Amazon Aurora is a great, fast and reliable database service available in RDS. Integrates well with other AWS services.

Nachteile

Ties one in to the AWS platform, particularly if you start using some of the best features like Aurora. The AWS console is not user-friendly. Can get quite expensive, but probably still cheaper than hiring highly-skilled people to manage your databases for you.

Vorteile

It’s easy to use, it’s practical and helpful.

Nachteile

I don’t really have complaints, the app is really cool.

Vorteile

Backed by AWS - corporate level product for an affordable price.

Nachteile

No support included. Need to figure out your issues on your own or pay (extensively) for support.

Warum Amazon RDS gewählt wurde

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Amazon RDS

Vorteile

I liked the onboarding process when establishing a new environment. Rather than go very deep into database nomenclature and Amazon lingo, the questions were relatively simple on the level of "how big would you expect your db to be" and "what sort of expected availability do you want in your db." This made it easy to try out things without immediately going to the Amazon documentation for something you don't understand because they were written in the AWS jargon.

Nachteile

Even small instances took some time to set up and destroy. Also, I didn't get too far into it at the beginning to explore myself, but I would have liked to see options for scaling and duplicating environments + data from specific tables rather than doing data copying/migrations by hand after setting up a new environment. Perhaps they have added this in since I last used it since they update RDS quite often.

Vorteile

Its lightweight and easy to spin up and has a huge ability to scale

Nachteile

You can't get access to SA but that isn't a big deal

Vorteile

You can manage several databases at once, with excellent performance and capabilities

Nachteile

It's cost prohibitive for small businesses.

Warum Amazon RDS gewählt wurde

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Amazon RDS

Vorteile

A generous free tier that allows stress-free setup and getting to know the tools;
Very reliable service, fulfilling the 99.9% uptime promise;
Good integration with other Amazon products through the online console;
Fine-grained control over user permissions, including requirements for multi-factor authentication access;
Ability to use Google Authenticator (and several other providers) as MFA method;
Plenty of backup plans and storage, easy and fast retrieval;
The search facility of the online console allows finding a needle in a haystack;

Nachteile

Most of the more advanced settings are controlled by so-called policy files. Because of the sheer complexity of the Amazon system, these are quite hard to grasp at first and so it becomes relatively easy to introduce some unexpected behavior. A more from the ground introduction for new users would be useful.

Vorteile

I was only personally involved in the front end set-up and implementation of this product but I have to say I was really taken back. In an industry where database management & retention are the largest means of revenue building having a trustworthy product is second to nothing. Amazon RDS with the ability to create and retain multiple databases along with its extremely user friendly, easily teachable platform & myriad of database types available I felt I made the right choice.

Nachteile

We always look to keep operational costs low when looking at the bottom line so that could be one reason that this product may turn some consumers off but when you look at the prices to hire a consultant in place of a product like Amazon RDS it starts to look more attractive.

Vorteile

With Amazon RDS, you longer need to install, set up and manage your database system. Just Choose suitable Database system, choose suitable instance type, configure a few things, and you database will be ready. You do not need to install or set up anything, amazon will take care of these things. You can straight away starting your database.

Nachteile

You will be charged a hefty amount for its services by Amazon.

Vorteile

We use this monthly for one of our businesses. Price is high but fair for the amount of users

Nachteile

Cost is a bit high and may be tough for people to pay on a monthly or yearly basis

Vorteile

The admin section is very snappy and documentation / support has been extremely helpful when I raised questions.

Nachteile

While it is something coming hopefully in the future, the lack of load balancers can make troubleshooting overloaded servers difficult to determine if a higher CPU is required of if the current setup is 'enough' where as a load balancer would solve the issue.

Vorteile

Exceptionally adjustable. Bunches of Amazon cloud benefit choices and outsider projects, Application programming interfaces (APIs) accessible. Solid accentuation on securing server cases. Backings wide assortment of Windows and Linux servers. More affordable forthright expenses.

Nachteile

Poor value for the money. Confounding cluster of administrations. I don't accept conventional RDBMS have any business being generation databases these days, so I discover RDS' center around execution and solidness to be inefficient and diverting.

Vorteile

Amazon RDS I used it with another wonderful product from Amazon, which allows uploading and downloading files from the server. It helped me a lot because of the versatility it offers and the optimal coupling with stored procedures, all in the cloud.

Nachteile

Amazon RDS I really liked it. I have not had any problems with the operation, the architecture and the tools. But I emphasize that I have had little support at the technical support level.

Vorteile

Easy to set up and use. Payment is based on the usage. Efficient, scalable and resizeable.

Nachteile

There is nothing to dislike. RDS is enough for all my purposes.

Vorteile

Amazon Aurora in RDS is the best feature of it. It is compatible with traditional MySQL so it can be easily migrated to Aurora. Aurora is fast and highly available which keeps almost 6 copies of data and can handle 2 simultaneous failures.

Nachteile

If you go with Aurora it is very costly compared to other databases. There is some limit on number of Instances and file size each instance can have.

Vorteile

It manages well the db creates backups automatically, prices are reasonable and if you have an AWS stack is a must, managing a DB from an ec2 instance is complicated and not good .

Nachteile

The UI is kinda cumbersome and difficult to use, and it took a while for the EC2 server to connect to the RDS mariaDB DB I was running after that smooth sailing.

Vorteile

Amazon RDS saves users from the process of backing up their data, scalability and monitoring solutions etc etc. It is extremely easy to take snapshots of RDS at any instance.

Nachteile

Amazon RDS security is not a quite high level. Also with so many NoSQL databases coming up these days, RDS is a difficult choice to make given that it lags behind those NoSql databases.

Vorteile

The stability and reliability of this product make it an amazing choice. Also scalability is very easy with RDS and amazon overall because anytime you can select how much memory and storage you want based on the dynamic requirement

Nachteile

Though Amazon RDS is totally worth the money but for a company not so big it can get really problematic to fund for the same. They do have amazing plans if you compromise on the dynamic scalability which is not always possible.

Vorteile

It was very easy to set up and migrate from an in-house relational database. It uses SQL for querying. If your app is running on aws it is even faster.

Nachteile

The security certificates can be complicated to get working correctly in a coroprate environment.

Vorteile

The greatest feature of Amazon RDS like other aws services is auto-scaling and automatically backups. It takes away the burden of having to monitor the databases for performance.

Nachteile

Amazon RDS takes a lot of time to configure. There are too many configurations needed to get an instance up and running most especially on the web interface.

Vorteile

We made the switch to solve some specific business needs and it has been a good product for what we wanted.

Nachteile

Not much that I can provide as dislike for this server. There are more positives than negatives for sure.

Vorteile

One click new database deployments and fully managed service with regular backups. Pricing is affordable too. Lots of databases to choose from, PostgreSQL, MySQL, and more.

Nachteile

Too many options while setting up a database which can easily get confusing for entry to mid-level developers.

Vorteile

Amazon RDS is helpful tool for database management, it is easy to use and you can navigate between sections.

Nachteile

Amazon RDS has hard dashboard to use the people who are not known as much as developers.
