A highly scalable product that is very easy to configure and provides good documentation and community support

Pros and Cons

"We can easily integrate AWS container images into the product."

"When we run a lot of batch jobs, the UI must show the history."

What is our primary use case?

We use the solution to run scripts for more than 15 minutes. We do not get builds for running the scripts. We can deploy it using containers.

What is most valuable?

Parallelism and scalability are the best features of the solution. The solution is very easy to configure and run by ourselves. We can use the security features to allow only specific service principles like the IAM role. We can easily integrate AWS container images into the product.

What needs improvement?

When we run a lot of batch jobs, the UI must show the history. The last time we used it, we faced some glitches. Explaining the tool to junior developers was difficult. They were not able to easily grasp how to link the components.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using the solution for two to three years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I rate the tool’s stability a ten out of ten.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The tool’s scalability is very good. I rate the scalability a ten out of ten. We have less than 20 users.

How are customer service and support?

The support team is good. The support engineers are knowledgeable and provide solutions to our queries. The response time is quicker than Azure’s support team.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

AWS Batch is easier to use than Azure Batch. I prefer AWS over Azure because AWS has good documentation and community support.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup of AWS Batch is easier than Azure Batch. I rate the ease of setup a ten out of ten. The end-to-end deployment took 25 to 30 minutes.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The pricing is very fair. The price was negligible compared to the number of tasks we run.

What other advice do I have?

It is a very good solution to use. AWS Batch is a suitable solution if users want to run multiple containers of the same image with multiple variables. It is efficient and scalable. The issues are solved much more quickly. Overall, I rate the tool a nine out of ten.
