What do you dislike about Spot Cloud Analyzer?

Some of the time the response time is bit slow, otherwise as of now nothing much to really dislike it.

Would like them to implement few more features like:

1. To enable the USERDATA update for already provisioned Elastigroups.

2. Provide details if the cloud providers fails to provide adequate resources or resources get hanged. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Spot Cloud Analyzer solving and how is that benefiting you?

Huge cost savings when we deployed Spotinst to manage our spark cluster. It manages our spark worker nodes very effectively & turned out to be very cost effective.

1. The userdata section helped us to make the things very much automated & worker nodes are getting added to the master automatically.

2. We could also ensure the bare minimum capacity required by specifying the no of on-demand VMs vs the spot instance. We found this very effective. Thanks Spotinst.

3. Any changes made to the back-end cloud provider is immediately available to the spot inst. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
