## Reviews

### "Aws review" — 4.0/5

> **Sonny** | *8 March 2026* | Accounting | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The most praised, modern features of AWS Systems Manager (SSM) are its unified cross-account/region dashboard, Amazon Q Developer integration for natural language queries, and one-click agent troubleshooting. Users heavily favor the ability to replace bastion hosts with secure Session
> 
> **Cons**: primary drawbacks of AWS Systems Manager are its overwhelming complexity, steep learning curve, and the "hodgepodge" nature of its, at times, overlapping tools.

### "besta company" — 5.0/5

> **Humberto** | *16 December 2025* | Computer Networking | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Centralizes management of EC2 and on-premises servers in one place. Patch Manager, Session Manager, and Automation greatly reduce manual operational work and improve security. Tight integration with other AWS services and IAM makes it reliable and scalable for enterprise environments
> 
> **Cons**: Initial setup and configuration can be complex, especially around IAM permissions and hybrid environments. The interface is not always intuitive, and troubleshooting failures can be time-consuming due to limited or unclear error messages.
> 
> Overall, AWS Systems Manager is a powerful and robust tool for infrastructure management and automation. While it has a learning curve, once properly configured it significantly improves operational efficiency, security, and visibility across managed resources

### "Inbound hickup" — 4.0/5

> **Connie** | *28 November 2025* | Consumer Services | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: AWS inbound call list is the best feature I like about AWS because I can see the person calling and phone number they call from.
> 
> **Cons**: Sometimes it does ring once then hup, and sometimes it doesnt sync with artiva and had to restart everything again. Recently issue like inbound call list is not populating.
> 
> Overall, the experience with AWS is good and manageable inbound/outbound calls except for some hickups like inbound call list.
