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."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."
"I appreciate AWS Glue for its cost-effectiveness."
"Glue is a NoSQL-based data ETL tool that has some advantages over IIS and ISAs."
"It is a stable and scalable solution."
"AWS Glue's most valuable features are the data catalog, including crawlers and tables, and Glue Studio, which means you don't have to use custom code."
"The key role for Glue is that it hosts our metadata before rolling out our actual data. This is the major advantage of using this solution and our clients client have been very satisfied with it."
"The facility to integrate with S3 and the possibility to use Jupyter Notebook inside the pipeline are the most valuable features."
"The product has a valuable feature for data catalog."
"The security is also excellent. It's highly granular, so the admins have a high degree of control, and there are many levels of security. That worked well. You won't have an EDC unless you put everything onto the platform because it is its own isolated thing."
"Encapsulates all the components without the requirement to integrate or check compatibility."
"The interface is really user-friendly."
"Great features available in one tool."
"It is easy to map out a workflow and run trigger-based scripts without having to deploy to another server."
"Palantir Foundry is a robust platform that has really strong plugin connectors and provides features for real-time integration."
"The data lineage is great."
"It's scalable."
"The product has only a few built-in transformations."
"There is a learning curve to this tool."
"While working on AWS Glue, I could not find any training material for it."
"The solution could be cheaper. The price of the solution is an area that needs improvement."
"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."
"The mapping area and the use of the data catalog from Glue could be better."
"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."
"AWS Glue would be improved by making it easier to switch from single to multi-cloud."
"Difficult to receive data from external sources."
"The workflow could be improved."
"If you want to create new models on specific data sets, computing that is quite costly."
"They do not have a data center in Europe, and we have lots of personally identifiable information in our dataset that needs to be hosted by a third-party data center like Amazon or Microsoft Azure."
"It requires a lot of manual work and is very time-consuming to get to a functional point."
"Cost of this solution is quite high."
"The data lineage was challenging. It's hard to track data from the sources as it moves through stages. Informatica EDC can easily capture and report it because it talks to the metadata. This is generated across those various staging points."
"The solution's visualization and analysis could be improved."
