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 most valuable feature of Amazon EC2 is the virtual machines that are available."
"I like EC2 because of its simple workload and the ability to configure VPCs and security groups."
"What we have found most valuable is that we have not lost stability in the program."
"The product is easy to set up."
"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."
"The ethernet configuration is stable and the product is reliable."
"The most valuable features are the scalability options, low maintenance, and options to upgrade. AWS support is also pretty good. The generation upgrade is pretty simple and standardized."
"The product is very mature and organized."
"The most valuable feature has been the range of clients and the range of connectors that we could use."
"The user interface is good and makes it easy to design very popular workflows."
"We can integrate the tool with other applications easily."
"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 features of this solution are ease of use and implementation."
"Visually, this is a good product."
"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."
"The tool’s stability could be better."
"EC2 could be improved with easier migration."
"Its price can be reduced."
"The scalability could improve."
"In terms of improvement, they could build some client-side desktop tools that provide easier connectivity to Amazon."
"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 ease of migrating applications could be improved."
"Nothing is really missing in terms of features."
"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."
"More features must be added to the product."
"The use case templates could be more precise to typical business needs."
"I think the UI interface needs to be more user-friendly."
"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."
"There should be a better way to integrate a development environment with local tools."
"There are some claims that NiFi is cloud-native but we have tested it, and it's not."
