MOST IMPRESSIVE AND LEAST IMPRESSIVE CLOUD COMPUTING SERVICES

MOST IMPRESSIVE AND LEAST IMPRESSIVE CLOUD COMPUTING SERVICES

Most Impressive Cloud Computing Service:

My personal preference when it comes to cloud computing service is Google Drive & Docs. Although many people prefer other clouds, I personally have used Google Drive for numerous occasions. For example, for my sister's wedding, my family members from Saudi Arabia and Bangladesh, along with me, used Google docs to communicate in real time and edit our plans together. I've also used it for a gazillion university projects and presentations. Therefore, I see it as the most impressive cloud computing service.

Although I believe it should be mentioned that I've recently learned from my STM classmate's presentation that Microsoft has very vast cloud computing services and I also found those to be impressive, however, I personally never used them. What's more is that, from my cloud computing presentation, I've learned that Microsoft and Google are responsible with carbon footprints and have been carbon neutral for awhile, another bonus point for these guys!

Least Impressive Cloud Computing Service

After my little research on the internet, I've seen numerous negative comments and views about the Amazon Cloud Storage Service. Although I didn't try this one out myself, reviews say that Amazon has occasional outages and sometimes these outages are for hours. Amazon users must have faced a lot of inconveniences and some may have had a  lot of problems occurring due to these outages. A company as big as Amazon should have better control over its systems. Moreover, after my cloud computing presentation, I've learned that Amazon is not very responsible about it's carbon footprint, another reason that it is the least impressive cloud computing service.
