It’s one of those tools you set up once and then forget — until you realize how much it’s helping behind the scenes. Reliable and does exactly what it promises. Pros Makes it super easy to automate AWS tasks — from starting/stopping EC2s to backing up RDS. Saved us both time and money by reducing manual work and optimizing cloud usage. UI is clear, and the scheduling options are flexible. Cons Would be great to have a bit more built-in monitoring or logging detail per task. Also, the interface feels a bit plain visually, but functionally it works fine. Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.

It just works and is simple to use and pennies to run. Cons None to date however my use has been mainly to automate backups.

It's a fantastic product and I would recommend it to anyone. Pros That it automates that backup process of EC2 servers with just the right number of options.

Pros Skeddly was easy to set up and configure. We use managed instances, and it's saved our bacon already. Cons Maybe if they had known in advance we would need backups, hacked our Amazon account, and set it all up for us. That would have saved us some headaches.

Steve D. Coder Internet ### "Best AWS EC2 companion" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 November 23, 2018 I was unsatisfied with AWS's automatic backup options for EC2 instances, which led me to search for a third party alternative. Skeddly has been doing the job very nicely for a while now. It gives me the perfect amount of control over when my backups are done, and how long they are stored for. It's exactly the tool I needed. Pros I had a very specific goal in mind when signing up for Skeddly. The UI was so simple to follow, I had everything set up exactly the way I wanted within minutes. Cons The free trial offer is a bit confusing. If you add any service that is not included in the free tier, your free tier services will stop running until you pay.

Doing this was very simple with Skeddly at cost effective pricing. Pros It is very simple to setup start of AWS EC2 instances as long as RDS snapshots. It works smoothly and reliably. Cons Setting up future dates where we don't want instances to start (holidays, ...) was not possible. It was added on 20th july after multiple requests.

Pros So easy to define actions once you have linked it to your AWS account, and having multiple users for a Skeddly account is a great help too. Cons I would like to be able to one user identity which could access each of my client's Skeddly accounts, similar to the functionality in AWS which allows cross-account access.

You sort of just go in and set it and forget it. It supports MFA which is a good thing. Lots of other features which I hope to get to one of these days as well. Cons There are a few gui things which annoy me like having an edit button at the bottom of the page..so I have to scroll down to get to it which is often. But things like this are sort of trivial when it comes to the tool performing the task at hand which it does well.

Response from Vendor July 27, 2018 Jason, thanks for this review. Your comment about the edit button is spot-on, but I'm glad you're otherwise pleased with our services. -Matt Ken N. Senior Software Engineer ### "Convenient, reliable, and very inexpensive" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 July 9, 2018 Automated data backups and cost management Simplification of system operations Quick results, compared to doing it in-house Pros I've used Skeddly for years, in 4 companies so far, whenever I've used AWS. It makes best practices easy to implement, including backups, disaster recovery, and cost control. The feature list seems to expand every few months, so the value keeps expanding without programming or effort on my part. The price is great -- no minimums, and very reasonable per-transaction billing. When scheduled tasks are run, notifications can be emailed on success or failure. I also appreciate the way that logs are maintained inside Skeddly, so I don't have to manage their preservation and access. While I could program these scheduled tasks myself, I much prefer having a tool that is developed and run independently. It's more reliable; and Skeddly's UI and documentation makes it much easier to delegate responsibility for it, compared to my own programs. Cons I haven't had any problems with Skeddly in my companies, but I can understand if other companies would prefer to keep these functions in-house. Skeddly is given a role in my AWS account which allows it to do its tasks, and this means that can get information about how my systems are organized. In addition, the log files that it preserves also reveal information about our configurations. It's obviously just a subset of what AWS already knows; but some companies could find it problematic.

Response from Vendor July 19, 2018 Thank you so much Ken for your review.

It's simple interface and functionality help IT sleep at night, knowing Skeddly is always working for us. It's cheap! Cons One feature request is for Skeddly to look at our AMIs/Volumes/Snapshots, then to compare that to the AMIs running as EC2, and recommend deleting ones that are not used.
