We performed a comparison between AWS Glue and SAS Access 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."AWS Glue is a stable and easy-to-use solution."
"I like its integration and ability to handle all data-related tasks."
"We no longer had to worry much about infrastructure management because AWS Glue is serverless, and Amazon takes care of the underlying infrastructure."
"I like the fact that AWS Glue works with Python scripts."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"The most valuable features currently are glue studio, jobs, and triggers."
"I like that it's flexible, powerful, and allows you to write your own queries and scripts to get the needed transformations."
"We have found it beneficial when moving data from one source to another."
"The most valuable part of SAS/ACCESS is what it is made for: connecting to remote systems that are not part of your physical SAS environment."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is the ease of access to the data in those databases."
"The most valuable feature is you have native access to the external databases."
"The mapping area and the use of the data catalog from Glue could be better."
"It is not clear how the partition discovery would have been affected by more data coming in."
"In terms of improvement, the performance of AWS Glue could be faster."
"While working on AWS Glue, I could not find any training material for it."
"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 start-up time is really high right now. For instance, when you start up a new job, you have to wait for five or eight minutes before it starts. If the start-up time is reduced to one or two minutes, it will be great. It will be better to have a direct linkage to Redshift in AWS. If we can use data catalogs from Redshift, it will be so easy to create some data catalogs. Currently, we can only use data catalogs from S3."
"We face performance issues when using AWS Glue for data transformation and integration."
"I would like to see a more robust interface on the no-code side. This would be nice to be able to split cells."
"I can't really recall any missing feature or general improvement that is needed. We don't really add too many new kinds of databases and therefore our needs are already met."
"The solution can provide access to the newer databases that come out sooner."
"The pricing model needs to be reconsidered and adjusted."
