We performed a comparison between AWS Glue and TIBCO Spotfire 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."Transformations are valuable because you can modify or override complex data logic from an open source or Spark to solve issues."
"Its user interface is quite good. You just need to choose some options to create a job in AWS Glue. The code-generation feature is also useful. If you don't want to customize it and simply want to read a file and store the data in the database, it can generate the code for you."
"The facility to integrate with S3 and the possibility to use Jupyter Notebook inside the pipeline are the most valuable features."
"AWS Glue is a good solution for developers, they have the ability to write code in different languages and other software."
"It is a stable and scalable solution."
"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 also like that you can add custom libraries like JAR files and use them. So, the ability to use a fast processing engine and embed basic jobs easily are significant advantages."
"We no longer had to worry much about infrastructure management because AWS Glue is serverless, and Amazon takes care of the underlying infrastructure."
"One of the main features is integrated statistical analysis."
"R and automation services."
"I appreciate Spotfire's range of visualization options, advanced analytics features, and seamless integration with other TIBCO products."
"The most valuable features of TIBCO Spotfire are visualization. It's very nice, clear, and, flexible. You can analyze many data types and the user interface is very good."
"The ability to connect to many different data sources is one of the key features. The other would then be the different ways in which that data can be visualized."
"It's scalable."
"It allows users to quickly analyze data from a variety of sources and visualize it with powerful, interactive graphs, and charts."
"It’s stable and straightforward."
"We face performance issues when using AWS Glue for data transformation and integration."
"I have encountered challenges with multi-region support."
"The mapping area and the use of the data catalog from Glue could be better."
"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."
"AWS Glue is more costly compared to other tools like Airflow."
"Cost-wise, AWS Glue is expensive, so that's an area for improvement. The process for setting up the solution was also complex, which is another area for 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 initial setup is complicated and needs experience and knowledge."
"The number of charts available out of the box in Spotfire can be enhanced."
"I would like more easy-to-implement analytical algorithms. At the moment they include things like forecasts and regressions. They need to add a lot more of these types of things to the product because not everyone is a data scientist."
"I would like to see the visualization library in this solution expanded, so that I can increase what I can offer to our clients."
"When it comes to data manipulation, there are features which are good, but one of the features which has really been missing in Spotfire is an offline ability for data manipulation."
"Print capability and trigger-based events."
"The initial setup of TIBCO Spotfire is in the middle range of difficulty. The initial setup of Power BI is easier."
"The way TIBCO Spotfire is designed, in my opinion, is the reason why it lags a bit, especially compared to other BI tools like Qlik."
