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."What we have found most valuable is that we have not lost stability in the program."
"The product is easy and quick to set up."
"Configuration can be changed at any time and it's very scalable."
"The scalability of the solution is fantastic. It's one of our favorite features."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the ability to have standard operating systems along with the Windows, Linux operating systems, and their maintenance-free structure, which we prefer."
"My favorite feature of this solution is the flexibility of instance types, which allows for the cost to be tailored to the usage amount and type."
"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 Key Management Service (KMS) feature is very helpful for security. It encrypts the data that is being saved. Cloud storage is also very helpful, and it could be AWS S3, which a lot of people use."
"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."
"We can easily integrate AWS container images into the product."
"AWS Batch's deployment was easy."
"AWS Batch manages the execution of computing workload, including job scheduling, provisioning, and scaling."
"My impression is that the scalability of this product could be improved. My opinion is that, for example, the Lambda solution is much more scalable than EC2."
"Pricing-wise, it is a bit high."
"Nothing is really missing in terms of features."
"If the solution was cheaper, if the price was less, it would be better."
"The GUI used to deploy EC2 must be improved."
"Lacks sufficient tools to help users minimize their costs."
"The IP changes whenever we restart which is frustrating."
"The customization could be simplified."
"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."
"When we run a lot of batch jobs, the UI must show the history."
"AWS Batch needs to improve its documentation."
"The solution should include better and seamless integration with other AWS services, like Amazon S3 data storage and EC2 compute resources."
