We performed a comparison between AWS Glue and FME 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 most valuable feature of AWS Glue is its ease of use and good documentation. Additionally, we can do all the transformations that we need."
"The most valuable feature of AWS Glue is scalability."
"We have found it beneficial when moving data from one source to another."
"Glue is a NoSQL-based data ETL tool that has some advantages over IIS and ISAs."
"It is AWS-integrated. There is end-to-end integration with the other AWS services. It is also user-friendly."
"AWS Glue is a stable and easy-to-use solution."
"The solution helps organizations gain flexibility in defining the structure of the data."
"It is a stable and scalable solution."
"It has a very friendly user interface. You don't need to use a lot of code. For us that's the most important aspect about it. Also, it has a lot of connectors and few forms. It has a strong facial aspect. It can do a lot of facial analysis."
"We make minor subtle changes to the workbenches to improve it. We can share the workbenches. We don't have to use GitHub or anything else."
"It has standard plug-ins available for different data sources."
"All spatial features are unrivaled, and the possibility to execute them based on a scheduled trigger, manual, e-mail, Websocket, tweet, file/directory change or virtually any trigger is most valuable."
"The most valuable feature of FME is the graphical user interface. There is nothing better. It is very easy to debug because you can see all steps where there are failures. Overall the software is easy to optimize a process."
"In terms of performance, if they can further optimize the execution time for serverless jobs, it would be a welcome improvement."
"Only people who can code, either in Java or Python, can use the product freely. Those who don't know Java or Python might find using AWS Glue difficult."
"The crucial problem with AWS Glue is that it only works with AWS. It is not an agnostic tool like Pentaho. In PowerCenter, we can install the forms from Google and other vendors, but in the case of AWS Glue, we can only use AWS."
"If there's a cluster-related configuration, we have to make worker notes, which is quite a headache when processing a large amount of data."
"We face performance issues when using AWS Glue for data transformation and integration."
"The monitoring is not that good."
"It is not clear how the partition discovery would have been affected by more data coming in."
"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."
"To get a higher rating, it would have to improve the price and the associated scalability. These are the main issues."
"Improvements could be made to mapping presentations."
"The one thing that always appears in the community is the ability to make really easy loops to loop through data efficiently. That needs to be added at some point."
"FME can improve the geographical transformation. I've had some problems with the geographical transformations, but it's probably mostly because I'm not the most skilled geographer in-house. The solution requires some in-depth knowledge to perform some functions."
"FME's price needs improvement for the African market."
