We performed a comparison between Amazon EC2 and Apache NiFi 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 serverless architecture solutions are most valuable, and the ability to start with little cost, and then expand as needed."
"The ethernet configuration is stable and the product is reliable."
"This is a user-friendly solution."
"The most important aspects are that the solution is scalable and easy to manage."
"The most valuable feature of Amazon EC2 is the virtual machines that are available."
"The most valuable feature is autoscaling."
"I like the AMI-related features. A very good feature of this solution is the customizable AMI. It is a very good feature provided by Amazon. The encryption technologies are also very good. We are using KMS, etc."
"The product is very mature and organized."
"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."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"The most valuable features of this solution are ease of use and implementation."
"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."
"Apache NiFi is user-friendly. Its most valuable features for handling large volumes of data include its multitude of integrated endpoints and clients and the ability to create cron jobs to run tasks at regular intervals."
"Visually, this is a good product."
"The IP changes whenever we restart which is frustrating."
"The product needs to improve its cost management."
"I would like to see as much automation for data validation as possible in the future."
"The price could be better, and it could be more affordable. Because I run my own servers, the prices are quite high."
"The customization could be simplified."
"The initial deployment was complex."
"I think the pricing needs to be adjusted and better security."
"The availability and response time of the free technical support can be improved."
"More features must be added to the product."
"There is room for improvement in integration with SSO. For example, NiFi does not have any integration with SSO. And if I want to give some kind of rollback access control across the organization. That is not possible."
"The use case templates could be more precise to typical business needs."
"There are some claims that NiFi is cloud-native but we have tested it, and it's not."
"There should be a better way to integrate a development environment with local tools."
"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."
"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."
"The tool should incorporate more tutorials for advanced use cases. It has tutorials for simple use cases."
Amazon EC2 is ranked 3rd in Compute Service with 60 reviews while Apache NiFi is ranked 8th in Compute Service with 11 reviews. Amazon EC2 is rated 8.6, while Apache NiFi is rated 7.8. The top reviewer of Amazon EC2 writes "Easy to scale and valuable features include the security group and key management". On the other hand, 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".
