We performed a comparison between AWS Lambda and Azure Stream Analytics based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Amazon Web Services (AWS), Apache, Zadara and others in Compute Service."It's also suitable for companies of any size. For example, we're a large enterprise, and we've used Lambda without any problems in the last 10 months."
"The ability to scale up and down very quickly helps because we can maintain our system performance and business at a low cost."
"The programming language and the integration with other AWS services are the most valuable features."
"The most valuable feature of AWS Lambda, from a conceptual point, is its functions. For example, it's mathematical templates into which you can write, and create your solution. You write small pieces of a solution under given parameters."
"The solution integrates well with API gateways and S3 events via its AWS ecosystem."
"Some of the most valuable features are that it's easy to install and use. The performance is also good."
"The most valuable features are event-based triggers. They're really good for a reactive style when you want things to happen as soon as something else happens."
"The stability is good."
"We use Azure Stream Analytics for simulation and internal activities."
"I appreciate this solution because it leverages open-source technologies. It allows us to utilize the latest streaming solutions and it's easy to develop."
"It's scalable as a cloud product."
"We find the query editor feature of this solution extremely valuable for our business."
"It provides the capability to streamline multiple output components."
"It's a product that can scale."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its ability to create a query using SQ."
"The integrations for this solution are easy to use and there is flexibility in integrating the tool with Azure Stream Analytics."
"My engineers work with it on a daily basis. I just don't have enough depth of knowledge about what kinds of edge cases they may have tried and found lacking. There may be some issues with some language support at one point or another because we couldn't get the underlying libraries in there. A lot of what we do is either in JavaScript, Python, or some of the non-compiled languages. I'm not sure if we've ever tried building a C# solution, for instance, in Lambda or a Java solution in Lambda. It doesn't mean those aren't its capabilities. I would rather refer to my engineers for where the boundaries are."
"I would like to see the five zero four AWS Lambda invocation fixed. This is basically a time-out error."
"The solution should continue to streamline integrations with AWS services."
"AWS Lambda should support additional languages."
"The support team does not know how to implement and build the solution."
"I would like to see more integration with other platforms."
"The running time of AWS Lambda runs fine. It takes around five minutes but it would be great if that time could be extended."
"We need to invest time in learning the tool's language variant. We have encountered instances of downtime as well."
"The solution doesn't handle large data packets very efficiently, which could be improved upon."
"The solution’s customer support could be improved."
"The solution offers a free trial, however, it is too short."
"Easier scalability and more detailed job monitoring features would be helpful."
"We would like to have centralized platform altogether since we have different kind of options for data ingestion. Sometimes it gets difficult to manage different platforms."
"I would like to have a contact individual at Microsoft."
"The initial setup is complex."
"Its features for event imports and architecture could be enhanced."
