We performed a comparison between AWS Glue and IBM Cloud Pak for Integration 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."I like that it's flexible, powerful, and allows you to write your own queries and scripts to get the needed transformations."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"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."
"The solution's technical support is good. Whenever we raise a use case where we face an issue in our company, we get a response from the solution's technical team."
"The most valuable feature of AWS Glue is that it provides a GUI format with a drag-and-drop feature."
"We have found it beneficial when moving data from one source to another."
"AWS Glue is quite better than other tools, but you have to learn it properly before you start using it."
"One of the best features of the solution is its ability to easily integrate with other AWS services."
"Cloud Pak for Integration is definitely scalable. That is the most important criteria."
"The most valuable aspect of the Cloud Pak, in general, is the flexibility that you have to use the product."
"The most preferable aspect would be the elimination of the command, which was a significant improvement. In the past, it was a challenge, but now we can proceed smoothly with the implementation of our policies and everything is managed through JCP. It's still among the positive aspects, and it's a valuable feature."
"It is a stable solution."
"It is not clear how the partition discovery would have been affected by more data coming in."
"Currently, it supports only two languages in the background: Python and Scala. From our customization point of view, it would be helpful if it can also support Java in the background."
"In terms of performance, if they can further optimize the execution time for serverless jobs, it would be a welcome improvement."
"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."
"The mapping area and the use of the data catalog from Glue could be better."
"The setup and installation is a bit complex without advanced knowledge or training."
"There is a learning curve to this tool."
"The monitoring is not that good."
"Its queuing and messaging features need improvement."
"The initial setup is not easy."
"The pricing can be improved."
"Setting up Cloud Pak for Integration is relatively complex. It's not as easy because it has not yet been fully integrated. You still have some products that are still not containerized, so you still have to run them on a dedicated VM."
