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."Amazon EC2's most valuable feature I have heard from clients is easy provisioning. Provisioning is very quick and easy."
"EC2 provides a lot of flexibility. If you don't want to have a separate on-premise database, you can put it on the cloud with EC2. You can adjust the instance type according to your needs. You select a size and get a certain amount of specific memory, CPUs, etc. You set the redirect limit, and from there, you install the software, database servers, application servers, and whatever you want."
"The flexibility of the security features is what is interesting."
"An advantage of Amazon is that it offers a wide range of infrastructure services with an easy way to configure them."
"The most valuable features of Amazon EC2 are ease of use and the services offered."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The serverless architecture solutions are most valuable, and the ability to start with little cost, and then expand as needed."
"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."
"We can easily integrate AWS container images into the product."
"AWS Batch manages the execution of computing workload, including job scheduling, provisioning, and scaling."
"AWS Batch's deployment was easy."
"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."
"Support doesn't share or give insights on OS-based issues. That needs to improve because if someone is buying an EC2 instance with the Windows server and SQL license, the client expects that there will be a minimum level of support."
"am concerned about the tool's data security."
"Amazon EC2 is very expensive, and it would be helpful if they decreased the pricing."
"The IP changes whenever we restart which is frustrating."
"Regional acceleration could improve. If I am hosting a website and I want the experience to be faster they should have this feature to allow for increased speeds."
"Current inability to change the resource service levels."
"Accessibility must be improved."
"Amazon EC2 could improve by reducing the price."
"The solution should include better and seamless integration with other AWS services, like Amazon S3 data storage and EC2 compute resources."
"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."
