Very Poor and Risky Experience with AWS Data Exchange
Rating: 1 out of 10
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We wanted to use AWS Data Exchange to list, sell and deliver our dataset in the open market. We have roughly 22 datasets that cover specific topical areas and industries. We update these sets on a monthly or quarterly basis depending on the data.
Pros
- Allow you to make private transactions of data
- Organize your datasets
- Provide custom legal data services agreements
Cons
- Poor transparency for sellers
- Little verification of accounts requesting subscriptions
- Confusing, buggy and misleading UX
- Very poor development focus, roadmap and investment in the product
- Bad experience for buyers of the data
- Poor account service
Likelihood to Recommend
- If you have a small number of institutions you know well that you want to deliver data to securely, AWS could be a solution for you.
- If you want to sell or provide visibility of your data, you could create a product page and then do your best to take the transaction off-exchange.
