Ilya Afanasyev - PeerSpot reviewer
Great for big jobs, reliable, and doesn't require an elaborate setup
The problem for us is it starts very slow. They need to improve the start time. If we use a long-running EMR, it costs a lot of money. However, when we start, for example, a job, if the job runs for one hour, it's normal as it starts in about ten minutes. If we want, for example, to run each five minutes, it's a problem if it takes ten minutes to start. It's a little bit weird that you cannot use the service within a short period. The support could be better.
