Stable solution with an easy-to-understand graphical interface
Pros and Cons
  • "It is a scalable solution."
  • "The solution's data size limit can be improved."

What is our primary use case?

We use the solution to mostly execute flows that contain parallel processing.

What is most valuable?

The solution's most valuable feature is its ability to parallelize tasks. In addition, the degree of parallelization can also be made scalable using its "map" state. Also, troubleshooting is way easier with an easy-to-understand graphical interface.

What needs improvement?

The solution has a data limit of 256 KB which means you can only pass under 256 KB of data to a state machine and between its state transitions. This can be improved.

For how long have I used the solution?

We have been using the solution for a year.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is very stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It is a scalable solution. We have four users in our organization.

How was the initial setup?

The solution's initial setup process is straightforward. It has a graphical interface that provides drag-and-drop functionality. It's simple to configure and use.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The solution's price is reasonable.

What other advice do I have?

The solution has a good interface and performance speed. I rate it a ten out of ten. I advise others to use the solution if they have to split their logic into a series of multiple lambda functions. It works better than Lambda functions in terms of orchestrating and managing parallel processing.
