## Reviews

### "AWS DirectConnect to decrease network latency" — 4.0/5

> **Paweł** | *8 September 2022* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: AWS DirectConnect is a very sophisticated tool for systems requiring private and low latency connection with AWS services. I had the opportunity to maintain the AWS DirectConnect usage in the system and it indeed decreased the latency metrics in the system.
> 
> **Cons**: This is very sophisticated feature that might be replaced with for example Amazon VPC (for privacy requirements). I would rather lean on using this feature for achieving low latency systems.

### "AWS Direct Connect is high performing" — 4.0/5

> **Nana Kwame** | *19 March 2023* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Having dedicated connectivity ultimately leads to the high performance of this software and it integrates with the other AWS services.
> 
> **Cons**: It is quite expensive than the current hack that we were using before we switched to it.
> 
> Though it is expensive, they compensate us with the high performance of our connections.
