Not much to dislike. We faced issues initially going through the documentation to set up EM clusters. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Amazon EMR is easy to setup and use. There are plenty of ways to get started, such as the AWS EMR console, or you can automate the whole thing using AWS command line tool awscli, or the boto3 api for Python. We use a combination of awscli and boto3 for automation. It provides best in class tools built in, and integration with other amazon services such as s3 for data as well as log aggregation, etc. It also provides a way to use AWS EC2 Spot instances, which reduce the cost to run Map Reduce jobs by 50-80% on average.

There are no major dislikes about EMR, but in general, they could provide more options to monitor the cluster, and also provide ways to troubleshoot the failed jobs and provide ways to recover failed jobs. But Amazon is going in the right direction and hope they address those things as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
