### "AWS System Manager - good choice for managing multiple instances" — 4.0/5

> **Michal** | *17 January 2026* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The best pros about AWS System manages is that I can manage multiple instance from single place. A lot of businesses use ASW which makes it good tool to learn.
> 
> **Cons**: For a new user the system might be complicated and a lot of time need to be invested in learning it.

### "AWS System Manager:Time-Saving tool." — 4.0/5

> **Rekha** | *13 August 2025* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Thing I liked the most is that it really brings everything together and make task super easy. I can check on EC2 instances, push patches, or even handle servers outside AWS without jumping between tools. The automation they provide saves alot of time and I don't have to do all manually. Also, it plays nicely with other AWS features like Session Manager, which makes remote access way easier. The fact that most features don’t add extra cost is a big plus too.
> 
> **Cons**: In the beginning it was little bit tough to figure out. Like you have to set up roles, permissions, and the agent, which isn’t exactly beginner-friendly. 
Some options are a little hidden in the interface, so I had to dig around or watch a couple of tutorials.
> 
> After the setup pain, it just works. Day-to-day tasks like patching or installing software became super simple, and I feel like I spend less time babysitting servers. It’s a solid tool if you’re already using AWS and want to keep things organized.
