We performed a comparison between Amazon EC2 and Apache NiFi based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Compute Service solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The amount of bandwidth has been most valuable."
"The product helps us with scalability. We also need not have data centers."
"Amazon EC2's most valuable feature I have heard from clients is easy provisioning. Provisioning is very quick and easy."
"I would recommend this solution to others who want to start using it."
"The product is easy to set up."
"The most valuable features of Amazon EC2 are content delivery and adaptability."
"I can quickly create a VM instance with just one click."
"The most valuable feature is EC2 is scalable, so when you want to move to market, you don't need to wait until your provision is fast, you can just go and provision it and then easily install your application."
"It's an automated flow, where you can build a flow from source to destination, then do the transformation in between."
"The most valuable feature has been the range of clients and the range of connectors that we could use."
"The user interface is good and makes it easy to design very popular workflows."
"Visually, this is a good product."
"The most valuable features of this solution are ease of use and implementation."
"We can integrate the tool with other applications easily."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"The initial setup is very easy. I would rate my experience with the initial setup a ten out of ten, where one point is difficult, and ten points are easy."
"am concerned about the tool's data security."
"I would like to see more variety in the operating system images used to create test environments in EC2. There should be more versions and releases. Sometimes, you want to test an update from an old release to a higher version, but you can’t do that with the new images available. You have to use your own."
"The price could be better, and it could be more affordable. Because I run my own servers, the prices are quite high."
"Built-in and/or integration with other services to proactively identify potential failures before they occur."
"Its price can be reduced."
"The solution’s pricing and downtimes could be improved."
"We have had some downtime using the solution."
"The initial setup could be easier because many keys are required for access."
"The overall stability of this solution could be improved. In a future release, we would like to have access to more features that could be used in a parallel way. This would provide more freedom with processing."
"We run many jobs, and there are already large tables. When we do not control NiFi on time, all reports fail for the day. So it's pretty slow to control, and it has to be improved."
"There is room for improvement in integration with SSO. For example, NiFi does not have any integration with SSO. And if I want to give some kind of rollback access control across the organization. That is not possible."
"There are some claims that NiFi is cloud-native but we have tested it, and it's not."
"There should be a better way to integrate a development environment with local tools."
"I think the UI interface needs to be more user-friendly."
"The use case templates could be more precise to typical business needs."
"More features must be added to the product."
