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 product is easy and quick to set up."
"I like the AMI-related features. A very good feature of this solution is the customizable AMI. It is a very good feature provided by Amazon. The encryption technologies are also very good. We are using KMS, etc."
"I would recommend this solution to others who want to start using it."
"EC2 is flexible when we need to increase its resources (memory, boosting, and storage) based on our usage. That is the power of EC2."
"The most valuable feature of Amazon EC2 is its ability to spin a new virtual machine in a few seconds."
"The most valuable feature of Amazon EC2 is the computing capacity."
"The product helps us with scalability. We also need not have data centers."
"EC2 is secure and stable, and we have no complaints about it on AWS."
"We can integrate the tool with other applications easily."
"Visually, this is a good product."
"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 most valuable features of this solution are ease of use and implementation."
"Apache NiFi is user-friendly. Its most valuable features for handling large volumes of data include its multitude of integrated endpoints and clients and the ability to create cron jobs to run tasks at regular intervals."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"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."
"The solution’s pricing and downtimes could be improved."
"Amazon EC2 is very expensive, and it would be helpful if they decreased the pricing."
"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 scalability could improve."
"We're expecting to have Graviton instances. Graviton means it's not internal, it's a low-cost instance. At present time, Graviton is not supported for a few packages."
"They have to provide clarity on pricing. It's not transparent."
"If the solution was cheaper, if the price was less, it would be better."
"Lacks sufficient tools to help users minimize their costs."
"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."
"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."
"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 should be a better way to integrate a development environment with local tools."
"The tool should incorporate more tutorials for advanced use cases. It has tutorials for simple use cases."
