"AWS EMR review"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Amazon EMR?

> One of the multiclustered architectures for bigdata processing which includes all kind of files

> User does not need to worry about maintaience of the clustes and clusters will be dynamically replaced based on failure

> Its one of the architecutes for map reduce proceesing(hadoop processing), can process PB data using multithreaded architecure Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon EMR?

> its not serverless, i.e admin/user need to manually provision the clusters for processing, and to be deleted after processing

> Cost is comparatively more in comparision with serverless services available in AWS

> EMR comes with 2 master nodes, if both master nodes fails, EMR cluster will go down, i.e users need to provision for multi az cluster to avoid node failures Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Fast Processing"
5/5
What do you like best about Amazon EMR?

EMR can execute the code using spark or other clusters like Hadoop, and these increase the performance and decrease the total job execution time.

Execution time comes down to few minutes as against several hours running on either EC2 or other computing servers.

Easy to choose between hadoop or spark based EMR culsters , it can be used in conjection with other AWS services like we can build an orcestation involving EMR and several other task on AWS datapipeline service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon EMR?

It takes time to spin up an EMR cluster, sometimes up to fifteen to thirty minutes if using it for the first time for a task and this happens mostly whenever starting a new cluster.

Once triggered adding new task is easy but initial setup takes time.

And we have to think on the use case and code for which EMR is to be used for at time EC2 is able to finish or perform the same processing in the comparable amount of time so in those cases we might end up increasing the overall cost of the project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
