Stable, straightforward to set up and does have good integration with various useful tools
The on-demand pipeline execution is something that we've had some challenges with for on-demand scheduling, however, we have some fairly complex use cases there. That said, we have had some problems getting that to work across a wide variety of use cases. Therefore, depending on the latency and the on-demand nature of it, they could do some improvement there. QuickSight is evolving pretty quickly. While I liked it, it integrates with it, it would help if they did more coordinated releases so that those features in their other products are improved and that those are available too. I'd like to see it coordinated or integrated with more of a data catalog. While there are some features there, the data governance and data cataloging, they touch on that, however, that's an important area of growth. It's becoming more and more important. That's why I would like to see more sophisticated and more complete data cataloging and data governance in that product. I know they're working on that. And of course, sometimes you have to go to half a dozen different AWS products before you get the thing you want. That said, I would like to see more data cataloging, more governance.

Intelligent autoscaling has cut compute costs and now manages ephemeral workloads efficiently
I think overall Spot is quite good. The UI is powerful, but it can feel a bit dense for some new users. More guided onboarding would help teams adopt advanced features faster, and deeper insights into Kubernetes resource usage would be beneficial. Overall, it is a really good platform that is quite mature and stable. I chose a rating of nine because it may sometimes be a bit overwhelming for newcomers, and there are also a few areas in which the EKS Kubernetes level granularity is a little missing. Overall, I think Spot is a really good and stable tool.

Pros

"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."

"My compute costs have reduced, capacity and production output have increased, and my overhead for maintaining custom scripts or doing some of the tasks manually has been saved."
"Cost saving is the main benefit, and the manual effort required for reviewing and purchasing savings plans and other RIs is something we do not have to manage manually now, as we get automatic suggestions from Spot."
"The solution helps us to manage and scale automatically whenever there is a limit to the increase in the application workflow."
"The solution offers both block access and file access, making it a nice solution for customers."
 

Cons

"I'd like to see it coordinated or integrated with more of a data catalog."
