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."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."
"An advantage of Amazon is that it offers a wide range of infrastructure services with an easy way to configure them."
"Configuration can be changed at any time and it's very scalable."
"The most valuable features of Amazon EC2 are ease of use and the services offered."
"What we have found most valuable is that we have not lost stability in the program."
"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 scalability of Amazon EC2 is good. However, the stability can depend on what service I am using."
"The most valuable feature of Amazon EC2 is its ability to spin a new virtual machine in a few seconds."
"AWS Batch's deployment was easy."
"AWS Batch manages the execution of computing workload, including job scheduling, provisioning, and scaling."
"We can easily integrate AWS container images into the product."
"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."
"EC2 is a little expensive."
"Amazon EC2 could improve by having integration with other cloud systems, such as Azure, and Google Cloud which would be good. Additionally, having integration with on-premise systems would be appreciated."

"AWS Batch needs to improve its documentation."
"When we run a lot of batch jobs, the UI must show the history."
"The solution should include better and seamless integration with other AWS services, like Amazon S3 data storage and EC2 compute resources."
