We performed a comparison between AWS Glue and SAP Data Services 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."Glue is a NoSQL-based data ETL tool that has some advantages over IIS and ISAs."
"I like its integration and ability to handle all data-related tasks."
"The product has a valuable feature for data catalog."
"We have found it beneficial when moving data from one source to another."
"It is AWS-integrated. There is end-to-end integration with the other AWS services. It is also user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature of AWS Glue is scalability."
"AWS Glue's best features are scalability and cloud-based features."
"I like that it's flexible, powerful, and allows you to write your own queries and scripts to get the needed transformations."
"The fact that it's built on SQL, it makes it easy to write code. The database and the connection are quite smooth."
"Data Services' table comparison mechanism is very powerful. It's pretty hard to find a similar feature in other solutions."
"Its integration capabilities and the data migration capabilities are the most valuable. It is very good for SAP and non-SAP tools. It has very good integration with SAP, but it also has the capabilities to connect to other systems. We find it very helpful and stable."
"It is a powerful product with a broad range of features."
"We can extract data at a table level, extract data at the ETL level, and we can extract data at an ODP level."
"Technical support from SAP is awesome. If we have an issue, they give a good solution."
"The maintenance of data services is the solution's most valuable feature."
"The logic is also simple. It makes it easy to build your extraction."
"The product is expensive for data streaming. This area needs improvement."
"The product has only a few built-in transformations."
"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."
"Glue could perform better. It sometimes takes too long to test a Glue job. Google Cloud Platform offers more Python scripts than AWS."
"I would like to see a more robust interface on the no-code side. This would be nice to be able to split cells."
"The monitoring is not that good."
"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."
"In terms of performance, if they can further optimize the execution time for serverless jobs, it would be a welcome improvement."
"The solution could improve the overall features. There is a lot that can be done in the solution, therefor there are areas where it can improve. Additionally, there is a need to make it easier for one to create connections to other non-SAP systems. The flexibility to connect to other non-SAP systems is needed."
"The migration of the solution between different environments is quite complex."
"With SAP Data Services, the problem arises when I try to connect to Azure Databricks."
"The interface is not quite user-friendly and is in need of improvement."
"The skillset of data engineers matters a bit to use all the functionality of this solution. Otherwise, the delivery speed won't be faster."
"I want some more business intelligence applications. People need to know more and more about data, including the transformation rules, etc. Informatica is a better product for data cataloging. SAP should update the data catalog."
"The execution engines and processing engines have shortcomings and need improvements."
"It will work fine only in an SAP environment. It could be said that the integration with other vendors could be better."
