We performed a comparison between Amazon EC2 and AWS Batch 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 solution offers good access policies."
"The product helps us with scalability. We also need not have data centers."
"I use it for NextCloud and for developer purposes."
"Its ease of use is valuable."
"The flexibility of the security features is what is interesting."
"All of my lower maintenance overheads are taken care of. I don't have to worry about it."
"The most valuable feature is autoscaling."
"The amount of bandwidth has been most valuable."
"We can easily integrate AWS container images into the product."
"There is one other feature in confirmation or call confirmation where you can have templates of what you want to do and just modify those to customize it to your needs. And these templates basically make it a lot easier for you to get started."
"AWS Batch's deployment was easy."
"AWS Batch manages the execution of computing workload, including job scheduling, provisioning, and scaling."
"They can build automatic features for ENSS or network drive. They have the Control-M feature. Similarly, they should have a feature for the network drive that can be mapped. I have not seen such a feature. They have a lot of products but those are quite costly. There is no cheaper option available for the EC2 instance for syncing two drives. If these features are available, it would be good."
"We have had some downtime using the solution."
"The GUI used to deploy EC2 must be improved."
"Regional acceleration could improve. If I am hosting a website and I want the experience to be faster they should have this feature to allow for increased speeds."
"The customization could be simplified."
"One of the challenges is the AMI upgrades."
"Currently in the autoscaling process if we have multiple issues we are not able to connect some of the VPC through the SMS."
"The price could be better, and it could be more affordable. Because I run my own servers, the prices are quite high."
"The solution should include better and seamless integration with other AWS services, like Amazon S3 data storage and EC2 compute resources."
"AWS Batch needs to improve its documentation."
"When we run a lot of batch jobs, the UI must show the history."
"The main drawback to using AWS Batch would be the cost. It will be more expensive in some cases than using an HPC. It's more amenable to cases where you have spot requirements."
