We performed a comparison between AWS Glue vs Talend Open Studio based on our users’ reviews in five categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: AWS Glue has a slight edge in this comparison since it is more lightweight than Talend Open Studio.
"Glue is a NoSQL-based data ETL tool that has some advantages over IIS and ISAs."
"What I like best about AWS Glue is its real-time data backup feature. Last week, there was a production push, and what used to take almost ten days to send out around fifty-six thousand emails now takes only two hours."
"I appreciate AWS Glue for its cost-effectiveness."
"I like the fact that AWS Glue works with Python scripts."
"The solution is serverless so it allows us to transform data while optimizing the cost and performance of Spark jobs."
"Transformations are valuable because you can modify or override complex data logic from an open source or Spark to solve issues."
"It is a stable and scalable solution."
"AWS Glue is fast and managed by AWS. Hence, you don't have to worry about capacity and the performance of Glue jobs. It has integrations with other data stores of AWS. The product offers metadata management, logging, and ETL processing capabilities. It comes with a powerful feature, Glue Studio, which helps to do queries interactively within the community. It is a managed service and very secure. Another popular and mature service is S3."
"The API integration and big data approach are very good because of how you extract data from JSP files or big data web repositories like MongoDB."
"The most valuable feature of Talend Open Studio is the tMap component. There is a lot of functionality in one component."
"The rapidity of integration with data may be one of the valuable features."
"We have contacted their technical support. They are great. They offer very professional help. If I need some technical answer, they are very professional. They are quick, professional, and very accurate."
"Talend is safe to use because it is very restrictive. It is easy to use when one learns how to manipulate data with SQL."
"Talend can connect to multiple data sources, including relational data sources, ERP, CRM, and others."
"The drag-and-drop feature in the interface is very good."
"There are many architectures: hybrid, cloud, and on-prem."
"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."
"There should be more connectors for different databases."
"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 have encountered challenges with multi-region support."
"We face performance issues when using AWS Glue for data transformation and integration."
"The interface for AWS Glue could improve, they do not put a lot of details. You can write the code, in PySpark or in Scala, which is a big advantage, it is only easy to use for a developer. It will be difficult for new users to enter the cloud environment."
"The monitoring is not that good."
"Glue could perform better. It sometimes takes too long to test a Glue job. Google Cloud Platform offers more Python scripts than AWS."
"It doesn't have the ability to keep the repository of the source code (visual pipeline). It can be integrated with Git."
"Having additional training materials, such as a video tutorial, would be an improvement."
"We need more components to be more efficient. We use a lot of components, such as Salesforce, and it's not easy to use. There's are minor bugs and it's not easy to use some of the features."
"In the next release, Open Studio should include cloud storage as an input."
"As for improvement or additional features, I would like to know how to use Java in Talend and also how to use Talend in the cloud or in big data. I would prefer to have storage directly on Talend."
"Talend should improve the log and error handling to better track the errors you find during development. Sometimes it's challenging to see what's causing an issue, and tracking that on Talend is complicated."
"The user interface could be made simpler."
"If I compare Open Studion to other solutions, their interface is robust but not so fancy looking. This is an area that could use improvement. I would like to see an updated interface."
