We performed a comparison between AWS Glue and SAP Data Services 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 solution helps organizations gain flexibility in defining the structure of the data."
"The most valuable features currently are glue studio, jobs, and triggers."
"The most valuable feature of AWS Glue is scalability."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"I appreciate AWS Glue for its cost-effectiveness."
"The solution is highly user-friendly, and its features are easy to use. The new addition of AWS Glue Data Catalog is also very beneficial, making the tool even more helpful for its users."
"The product has a valuable feature for data catalog."
"The solution is serverless so it allows us to transform data while optimizing the cost and performance of Spark jobs."
"The basic functionality is quite good as is the basic logic and data information."
"The solution is easy to use since it's a graphical tool. It also requires only low-level coding."
"The most valuable feature is the logging capability."
"The initial setup is not complex."
"The HANA database, which is very fast, is a valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature is the ETL functionality."
"We can extract data at a table level, extract data at the ETL level, and we can extract data at an ODP level."
"I appreciate having access to the SAP data."
"It fails to handle massive databases acquired from various sources."
"I would like to see stable libraries at the moment they are not there."
"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."
"Glue could perform better. It sometimes takes too long to test a Glue job. Google Cloud Platform offers more Python scripts than 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."
"The technical support for this solution could be improved. In future, we would like to connect more services like Athena or Kinesis to help control more loads of data."
"On occasion, the solution's dashboard reports that a project failed due to runtime but it actually succeeded."
"We face performance issues when using AWS Glue for data transformation and integration."
"We encounter challenges while exporting implemented rules, such as those applied to objects like the material master, into a format like Excel for documentation and further analysis."
"With SAP Data Services, the problem arises when I try to connect to Azure Databricks."
"In the future, Data Services should offer a cloud version."
"Data Services SAP is lacking in sources and target databases compared to Informatica. SAP Data Services should have more connectivity."
"The migration of the solution between different environments is quite complex."
"The description of error messages isn't extensive, although they point to the problem. With other solutions, like Talend, I was able to use the debugger to get directly to the problem, but with SAP Data Services the debugger is not working. I'm not sure if it's a problem with the version specifically, but I'm using it in an enterprise environment and I can't do an upgrade."
"It's an ETL that is very good with relational databases but not as good with files and semi-structured files."
"The skillset of data engineers matters a bit to use all the functionality of this solution. Otherwise, the delivery speed won't be faster."
