Also without worrying about cpu load I can get as high specifications as I want > > **Cons**: The UI is little complex as I get to any options when I was just learning it got me too much confused. > > I would like to rate it 8 out of 10 as my most of the work got done by using EC2 only. But there are still some complexity in UI as I mentioned above. ----- ### "Good Experience" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *5 February 2025* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Server setup is so easy with this and also my website response is better with better with large services. > > **Cons**: Its little bit costly for managing different servers. ----- ### "EC2 for scaling business" — 4.0/5 > **Harish** | *5 January 2025* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Scaling up and down the instances of EC2 can be really easy task which can can be cost effective. Best part about it is its ability to turn on or off the instances with just one click. > > **Cons**: It requires some bit of technical expertise to work with EC2 and we have to apply patches and security updates on regularly. ----- ### "Good virtual machine service, AMI catalog needs work, auto scaling is magic" — 5.0/5 > **Monica** | *28 May 2025* | Telecommunications | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The Auto Scaling Groups is where the magic happens. This helps with auto-healing and highly available applications. The launch templates are extremely customizable. The user data (pre boot scripts) are helpful. I appreciate the 3rd party integrations, like our CI/CD tool. The integration with auto scaling groups and ALBs are a must. > > **Cons**: Searching for AMIs in the AWS console is clunky. There should be better ways to search. The initial setup is tricky, but once you build one image and launch an instance, the deployment process gets easier. Occasionally, I will have to stop/start an instance because the underlying host has an issue. Thank goodness for autoscaling. > > Overall, good virtual machine service. The initial setup is difficult, but once done the service is reliable. Easy to setup a highly available application with EC2. ----- Page: 1 / 8\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.in/software/219781/ec2?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.in/software/219781/ec2) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
