Pros

"If you want to create a workflow to call one Lambda function after another, and other serverless features, it could save you a ton of money. That's for sure."
"It's a general solution that you can adapt to your own needs and is simple to use. We like that it can be integrated with everything in the AWS suite, and that the creation of the pipeline can be done using the graphical user interface."
"The integration capability is easy, whereas building state machines is tricky."

Cons

"There is room for improvement in terms of integration with other products. It would benefit from more integration with different applications or services."

"Increasing the payload size would be beneficial."
"Setup took about one day. We had some errors to understand in the beginning, but now everything is working good."
"The interface can sometimes feel limited, as we're unable to see what AWS is running behind the scenes."
"The price and support are areas with shortcomings where the solution needs to improve."
"The solution's data size limit can be improved."
