Pros
"The most valuable features of this solution are ease of use and implementation.""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.""The initial setup is very easy.""Visually, this is a good product.""We can integrate the tool with other applications easily.""It's an automated flow, where you can build a flow from source to destination, then do the transformation in between.""The user interface is good and makes it easy to design very popular workflows.""The most valuable feature has been the range of clients and the range of connectors that we could use."

"AWS Batch manages the execution of computing workload, including job scheduling, provisioning, and scaling.""AWS Batch's deployment was easy.""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."

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

More Apache NiFi Cons →

"When we run a lot of batch jobs, the UI must show the history.""AWS Batch needs to improve its documentation.""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.""The solution should include better and seamless integration with other AWS services, like Amazon S3 data storage and EC2 compute resources."
