“reliable AI with global reach”
Pros
A big reason we've enjoyed using it, along with its AI-powered pre-built solutions, is its dependability. Its global reach has also been very useful and we've been able to take advantage of the comprehensive set of tools for almost any data that's ready to be deployed.
Cons
We're still waiting for more AI services that include pre-trained models and that's something we're really looking forward to.

“good starting point for ML”
Pros
Even if you're starting from scratch, this works well as an entry point. Anyone with basic machine learning knowledge can begin using it without much trouble.
Cons
One downside is that it relies on other services within it so there are dependency-related limitations.

“Cost-effective solution”
Pros
The interface is fairly simple so even people with only basic machine learning knowledge can work with the product. It also lets us run models that need strong performance because the AWS servers handle that part really well. We're billed only for the processing time we actually use which makes it a very cost-effective option when that's important.
Cons
There are some accuracy issues with the models unless they are trained very specifically. At times, the algorithms don't feel quite up to the mark although it's still something that can be worked with.

“pay-per-use saves money!!”
Pros
One thing I really appreciate about it is that billing is based on actual processing time instead of charging for the entire time you stay on the page. That makes a big difference when it comes to cutting costs and improving profitability.
Cons
A downside for me is the deployment difficulty on the student account which I do not run into when using my regular login credentials. I would really like Amazon Web Services to increase the memory allocated to the student page.

“Powerful textract for handwritten data”
Pros
Working with its Textract has been really helpful for OCR tasks. It's one of the more advanced machine learning services and it does a strong job of pulling useful information from handwritten text that I can then process further and store in the database.
Cons
Even with all the features available in its machine learning services, there are still quite a few errors at times. The AI algorithms definitely have room for improvement.

“Had a positive experience”
Pros
Right from the start, its Cloud has felt far more user-friendly than platforms like Azure and GCP. It offers end-to-end security which gives me confidence that the reviews being submitted stay private and protected. Another big advantage is that I can run demanding deep learning models without trouble especially when high-performance computing resources are needed.
Cons
Because Cloud is still fairly new, it can be hard to find enough experienced professionals who are truly proficient with it. There are also occasional moments when the servers go down which creates a minor inconvenience.
