We performed a comparison between AWS Glue and Elastic Search based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud Data Integration solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The facility to integrate with S3 and the possibility to use Jupyter Notebook inside the pipeline are the most valuable features."
"Glue is a NoSQL-based data ETL tool that has some advantages over IIS and ISAs."
"The solution's technical support is good. Whenever we raise a use case where we face an issue in our company, we get a response from the solution's technical team."
"I also like that you can add custom libraries like JAR files and use them. So, the ability to use a fast processing engine and embed basic jobs easily are significant advantages."
"The most valuable features currently are glue studio, jobs, and triggers."
"I like the fact that AWS Glue works with Python scripts."
"The solution integrates well with other AWS products or services."
"I like its integration and ability to handle all data-related tasks."
"The solution is quite scalable and this is one of its advantages."
"I like how it allows us to connect to Kafka and get this data in a document format very easily. Elasticsearch is very fast when you do text-based searches of documents. That area is very good, and the search is very good."
"X-Pack provides good features, like authorization and alerts."
"Logsign provides us with the capability to execute multiple queries according to our requirements. The indexing is very high, making it effective for storing and retrieving logs. The real-time analytics with Elastic benefits us due to the huge traffic volume in our organization, which reaches up to 60,000 requests per second. With logs of approximately 25 GB per day, manually analyzing traffic behavior, payloads, headers, user agents, and other details is impractical."
"I have found the sort capability of Elastic very useful for allowing us to find the information we need very quickly."
"The solution has good security features. I have been happy with the dashboards and interface."
"The most valuable feature is the out of the box Kibana."
"It provides deep visibility into your cloud and distributed applications, from microservices to serverless architectures. It quickly identifies and resolves the root causes of issues, like gaining visibility into all the cloud-based and on-prem applications."
"One area that could be improved is the ETL view. The drag-and-drop interface is not as user-friendly as some other ETL tools."
"We face performance issues when using AWS Glue for data transformation and integration."
"The solution’s stability could be improved."
"The mapping area and the use of the data catalog from Glue could be better."
"Overall, I consider the technical support to be fine, although the response time could be faster in certain cases."
"I haven't looked into Glue in terms of seeking out flaws. I've not come across missing features."
"On occasion, the solution's dashboard reports that a project failed due to runtime but it actually succeeded."
"The setup and installation is a bit complex without advanced knowledge or training."
"Elasticsearch could improve by honoring Unix environmental variables and not relying only on those provided by Java (e.g. installing plugins over the Unix http proxy)."
"The reports could improve."
"The solution's integration and configuration are not easy. Not many people know exactly what to do."
"Improving machine learning capabilities would be beneficial."
"The metadata gets stored along with indexes and isn't queryable."
"Elastic Enterprise Search's tech support is good but it could be improved."
"I have not been using the solution for many years to know exactly the improvements needed. However, they could simplify how the YML files have to be structured properly."
"There are potential improvements based on our client feedback, like unifying the licensing cost structure."
