We performed a comparison between Amazon EC2 and AWS Batch 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 ability to bring up servers and then do the computation and deposit means we don't have to maintain a data center. Everything is virtual and the security is also taken care of. It helps us to achieve compliance. Being a small startup with the security features that AWS provides helps us with compliance."
"The ethernet configuration is stable and the product is reliable."
"EC2 has helped us to deploy various Microsoft applications efficiently. It has also facilitated our workstation operations."
"The scalability of the solution is fantastic. It's one of our favorite features."
"I can quickly create a VM instance with just one click."
"Amazon EC2 is really reliable and provides great flexibility."
"I believe that cloud solutions are better than physical servers."
"The product is easy and quick to set up."
"AWS Batch's deployment was easy."
"We can easily integrate AWS container images into the product."
"AWS Batch manages the execution of computing workload, including job scheduling, provisioning, and scaling."
"There is one other feature in confirmation or call confirmation where you can have templates of what you want to do and just modify those to customize it to your needs. And these templates basically make it a lot easier for you to get started."
"There should be enhanced accessibility from any standpoint. The accessibility should be increased, particularly in scenarios where accessing the software on the Azure platform from the cloud can be complex. Simplifying this process would be beneficial. There are too many steps involved."
"The monitoring part could be improved. When we're building and configuring things or doing database replication, EC2's monitoring could provide more information. It's hard to find the information I need in the graphs they provide."
"I think the whole AWS stack is very disconnected from each other. in the .NET space, everything just works nicely together. In the AWS stack, there is a lot of head scratching."
"Current inability to change the resource service levels."
"EC2 is a little expensive."
"They have to provide clarity on pricing. It's not transparent."
"The initial deployment was complex."
"Lacks sufficient tools to help users minimize their costs."
"The main drawback to using AWS Batch would be the cost. It will be more expensive in some cases than using an HPC. It's more amenable to cases where you have spot requirements."
"The solution should include better and seamless integration with other AWS services, like Amazon S3 data storage and EC2 compute resources."
"AWS Batch needs to improve its documentation."
"When we run a lot of batch jobs, the UI must show the history."
