We performed a comparison between Apache NiFi and AWS Lambda 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."Visually, this is a good product."
"The initial setup is very easy. I would rate my experience with the initial setup a ten out of ten, where one point is difficult, and ten points are easy."
"The most valuable feature has been the range of clients and the range of connectors that we could use."
"The most valuable features of this solution are ease of use and implementation."
"The user interface is good and makes it easy to design very popular workflows."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"It's an automated flow, where you can build a flow from source to destination, then do the transformation in between."
"We can integrate the tool with other applications easily."
"One of the most valuable features of AWS Lambda is the performance. Lambda is very technical and has very high performance, as well as good real-time performance."
"It is my preferred product, as it provides me with source code within the solution."
"The utilization of containers is particularly beneficial in overcoming the size limitations imposed on Lambda functions which not only allows us to work around these constraints but also contributes to the improvement and maintenance of our code."
"The initial setup is pretty easy."
"Thanks to this solution, we do not need to worry about hardware or resource utilization. It saves us time."
"The most valuable feature of AWS Lambda is that you can trigger and run jobs instantly, and after you complete the job, that function is either destroyed or stopped automatedly."
"The main features of this solution are the ability to integrate multiple AWS applications or external applications very quickly and organize all of them. Additionally, it is easy to use and you can run various programming languages, such as Python, Go, and Java."
"We have no issues with the technical support."
"There are some claims that NiFi is cloud-native but we have tested it, and it's not."
"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."
"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."
"I think the UI interface needs to be more user-friendly."
"There should be a better way to integrate a development environment with local tools."
"More features must be added to the product."
"The use case templates could be more precise to typical business needs."
"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."
"I want to see support for longer applications. I need the 15-minute time-out window to improve."
"We'd love to see more integration potential in the future."
"I have seen some drawbacks with certain integrations."
"The support team does not know how to implement and build the solution."
"There were some timeout issues with AWS Lambda as the options provided didn't suit our business cases."
"AWS Lambda's GUI could be improved with a twist or tweak in its look and feel to make it more impressive."
"The user-friendliness of the solution could be improved."
"We need to invest time in learning the tool's language variant. We have encountered instances of downtime as well."
Apache NiFi is ranked 8th in Compute Service with 10 reviews while AWS Lambda is ranked 1st in Compute Service with 70 reviews. Apache NiFi is rated 7.8, while AWS Lambda is rated 8.6. 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". On the other hand, the top reviewer of AWS Lambda writes "An easily scalable solution with a variety of use cases and valuable event-based triggers". Apache NiFi is most compared with Google Cloud Dataflow, Apache Spark, Azure Stream Analytics, Apache Storm and AWS Fargate, whereas AWS Lambda is most compared with AWS Batch, Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling, Apache Spark, AWS Fargate and Google Cloud Dataflow.
