Talend's customer service is responsive, but users seek faster, more knowledgeable technical support and improved problem resolution.
AWS's documentation is reliable, and careful reference often resolves missed upgrade details.
 

Scalability Issues

AWS Glue offers seamless, scalable data handling with serverless architecture, though some see potential for resource management improvements.
Sentiment score
7.5
Talend Data Management Platform scales well for enterprise needs, offering flexibility, cloud support, and robust features despite occasional performance issues.
It can easily handle data from one terabyte to 100 terabytes or more, scaling nicely with larger datasets.
For jobs requiring multiple RAM usage, we increase the number of workers accordingly.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
8.0
AWS Glue is highly reliable, seamlessly integrates with AWS, and benefits from serverless architecture, managed support, and easy troubleshooting.
Sentiment score
7.2
Talend Data Management Platform is stable, but performance varies, often rated 8-9; setup and scaling affect reliability.
AWS Glue is highly stable, and I would rate its stability as nine.
We have not encountered many issues with remote engines, and the interfaces are properly developed.
 

Room For Improvement

AWS Glue users seek quicker start-up, better UI, Java support, multi-cloud compatibility, cost reduction, and improved documentation and support.
Talend faces challenges in performance, integration, and support, with users seeking enhancements in multitasking, scalability, and data management.
A more user-friendly and simpler process would help speed up the deployment process.
With AWS, I gather data from multiple sources, clean it up, normalize it, de-duplicate it, and make it presentable.
Migrating jobs from version 3.0 to 4.0 can present compatibility issues.
Data management could also encompass APIs and real-time streaming data integration.
 

Setup Cost

AWS Glue offers flexible pay-as-you-go pricing, affordable yet costly for smaller firms, with extra costs for technical support.
Talend is cost-effective with unlimited integrations, but pricing confusion exists; negotiate at quarter-end for best deals.
The smallest cost for a project is around €700, while the largest can reach up to €7,000 based on the scale of the usage.
AWS charges based on runtime, which can be quite pricey.
Costing depends on resource usage, and cost optimization may involve redesigning jobs for flexibility.
 

Valuable Features

AWS Glue features a user-friendly, scalable interface, ensuring seamless integration, effective ETL tasks, and cost-effective data transformation.
Talend Data Management Platform provides real-time data integration, user-friendly tools, extensive connectivity, and strong support for enterprise tasks.
AWS Glue's most valuable features include its transformation capabilities, which provide data quality and shape for processing in ML or AI models.
For ETL, I feel the performance is excellent. If I create jobs in a standard way, the performance is great, and maintenance is also seamless.
I think if I'm working with big data, common languages like Python work quite nicely, which is advantageous.
I have successfully requested the necessary patch from Talend support multiple times to align different studio versions across the team of developers.

Featured Reviews

Saurabh Jaiswal - PeerSpot reviewer
Enables seamless integration and data preparation with robust transformation capabilities
AWS Glue's most valuable features include its transformation capabilities, which provide data quality and shape for processing in ML or AI models. It offers transformation options on canvas or through ETL pipelines, notebooks, and code. Additionally, it supports data preparation, cleaning, and filtering seamlessly. AWS Glue also enhances job scheduling and orchestration capabilities, integrating with AWS Glue Studio for comprehensive data workflow management.
Selim Seddiki - PeerSpot reviewer
Accessible support with easy upgrades and helpful patch support
The process of upgrading the software is quite easy. For instance, upgrading the Studio is straightforward, especially if done automatically. However, I typically do it manually by downloading the patch and placing it in the dedicated folder before restarting the studio. I have successfully requested the necessary patch from Talend support multiple times to align different studio versions across the team of developers. It was not difficult, and having access to Talend support directly from TNC proved quite beneficial. Our business has been running smoothly for three and a half years.
