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. ----- ### "EC2 automation/simplicity all in one platform" — 5.0/5 > **Richard** | *6 June 2025* | Real Estate | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: The EC2 mechanism works great, rent when required, scalable and on demand computing makes this a great platform to use. > > **Cons**: Whilst it is cost effective, there are times when the cost is prohibitive for some small tasks, but otherwise it works as expected > > It is a great tool, easy to use, easy to setup, clonable and each task can have a deedicated instance to run. ----- ### "Scalable and Highly Available EC2 System" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *13 February 2025* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It made my backend very easy to scale and highly available without lagging. > > **Cons**: It was not beginner friendly had many complex terminology. > > When I shift to ec2, it had many features like security groups, auto scaling and load balancer which made my application highly available and it was cost effective. ----- ### "My first Experience of EC2" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *15 February 2025* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: The thing I liked about EC2 is I can get any operating system image to run my projects. 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. ----- ### "EC2 is the way to compute on cloud" — 5.0/5 > **vidya** | *10 April 2025* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Amazon EC2 comes with wide range of compute capacity and processors including graviton which are cheaper bundled with performance > > **Cons**: It can get expensive if not monitored closely on the EC2 usage. > > Overall this is the first of its kind on cloud to provide compute service and it evolved since its introduced to finest levels ----- Page: 1 / 8\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.com.sg/software/219781/ec2?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.com.sg/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
