We performed a comparison between Apache NiFi and AWS Lambda 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 most valuable features of this solution are ease of use and implementation."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"The user interface is good and makes it easy to design very popular workflows."
"It's an automated flow, where you can build a flow from source to destination, then do the transformation in between."
"Visually, this is a good product."
"We can integrate the tool with other applications easily."
"The most valuable feature has been the range of clients and the range of connectors that we could use."
"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 main features of this solution are the ability to integrate multiple AWS applications or external applications very quickly and organize all of them. Additionally, it is easy to use and you can run various programming languages, such as Python, Go, and Java."
"AWS Lambda is itself serverless, and it is connected to the API gateway, and you can directly call the API through the API gateway and connect through AWS Lambda."
"The solution runs on the latest cloud technology so it is easy to deploy cloud-native projects."
"AWS Lambda has improved our productivity and functionality."
"The solution is designed very well. You don't need to keep a server up. You just need some router to route your API request and Lambda provides a very well-designed feature to process the request."
"One of the most valuable features of AWS Lambda is the performance. Lambda is very technical and has very high performance, as well as good real-time performance."
"The initial setup is pretty easy."
"The installation and configuration of the solution is straightforward."
"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."
"The use case templates could be more precise to typical business needs."
"I think the UI interface needs to be more user-friendly."
"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."
"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."
"There are some claims that NiFi is cloud-native but we have tested it, and it's not."
"The deployment process is a bit complex, so it could be simplified to make it easier for beginners to deploy."
"The runtime for the solution can be improved."
"The 60 seconds limitation with the consumption of the service is really restrictive for a service and the solution can be improved by eliminating that."
"AWS Lambda should support additional languages."
"The solution should continue to streamline integrations with AWS services."
"It can be a bit difficult to switch between accounts when creating services for customers."
"Amazon doesn't have enough local support based in our country."
"I would like to see some better integration with other providers, like Cohesity, Druva, and others. I also think the Lambda interface could be better."
Apache NiFi is ranked 8th in Compute Service with 11 reviews while AWS Lambda is ranked 1st in Compute Service with 70 reviews. Apache NiFi is rated 7.8, while AWS Lambda is rated 8.6. The top reviewer of Apache NiFi writes "Allows the creation and use of custom functions to achieve desired functionality but limitation in handling monthly transactions due to a lack of partitioning for dates". On the other hand, the top reviewer of AWS Lambda writes "An easily scalable solution with a variety of use cases and valuable event-based triggers". Apache NiFi is most compared with Google Cloud Dataflow, Apache Spark, Azure Stream Analytics, Apache Storm and AWS Fargate, whereas AWS Lambda is most compared with AWS Batch, Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling, Apache Spark, AWS Fargate and Google Cloud Dataflow.
