Cons
"There are some differences in the route tables between public and private subnets, which is something that is not properly documented.""The tool is not scalable.""The solution could have tighter security for traffic.""It would be beneficial to introduce more managed features and enhance customization options in the product.""You should be able to toggle off some cloud services when you don't need them and switch them on when necessary.""It is a bit difficult to find things because you don't have a single pane of glass or dashboard for every resource.""They should release a trial version.""Billing and technical support should be better.

"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.""There are some claims that NiFi is cloud-native but we have tested it, and it's not.""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.""I think the UI interface needs to be more user-friendly.""More features must be added to the product.""There should be a better way to integrate a development environment with local tools.""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.""The use case templates could be more precise to typical business needs."

    Overview

    Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC) lets you provision a logically isolated section of the AWS Cloud where you can launch AWS resources in a virtual network that you define. You have complete control over your virtual networking environment, including selection of your own IP address range, creation of subnets, and configuration of route tables and network gateways. You can use both IPv4 and IPv6 in your VPC for secure and easy access to resources and applications.

    Apache NiFi is an easy to use, powerful, and reliable system to process and distribute data. It supports powerful and scalable directed graphs of data routing, transformation, and system mediation logic.
