What differentiates Amazon EC2 from other similar products?
It's much more easier to configure and execute, in both ways be it using console or using CLI commands. The pricing model works like a magic, the performance from launching an instance till termination is commendable and no other alike tools can offer the same amount of efficiency as well as flexibility.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
The most favourite bit, of EC2 is it's unlimited integration with n number of AWS services, even for entirely different service like a storage service I can easily integrate my EC2 instance with it. And the power of termination of any instance in any moment also saves a lot of cost for me.
What do you dislike most about this product?
There's nothing as such to dislike but I'd say, the dashboard UI changes quite frequently which often creates confusion to me. Rest everything is good.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Definitely go for the service, it's an all around solution to your virtual computing demands, extremely flexible, easy to configure, scale and use.
