"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 most valuable feature for me is the visual interface of AWS Glue."
"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."
"I like that it's flexible, powerful, and allows you to write your own queries and scripts to get the needed transformations."
"I like the fact that AWS Glue works with Python scripts."
"AWS Glue is quite better than other tools, but you have to learn it properly before you start using it."
"The most valuable feature of AWS Glue is that it provides a GUI format with a drag-and-drop feature."
"The most valuable features currently are glue studio, jobs, and triggers."
"The most valuable feature for me when it comes to this solution is that it's easy to use."
"The most valuable features are definitely data integration, data preparation, and data stewardship."
"The solution's technical support is responsive and helpful."
"The most valuable features of Talend Open Studio are customization and integration."
"Talend Studio has the ability to use it to ensure data quality."
"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."
"This is a user-friendly solution that is easy to use."
"Open Studio's best features are that it's user-friendly, even for beginners, and very easy to implement."
"I would like to see a more robust interface on the no-code side. This would be nice to be able to split cells."
"It is not clear how the partition discovery would have been affected by more data coming in."
"AWS Glue would be improved by making it easier to switch from single to multi-cloud."
"One area that could be improved is the ETL view. The drag-and-drop interface is not as user-friendly as some other ETL tools."
"Overall, I consider the technical support to be fine, although the response time could be faster in certain cases."
"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."
"In terms of improvement, the performance of AWS Glue could be faster."
"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."
"It gets the job done but it's a bit slow."
"The solution needs more integrations."
"Talend Open Studio is in Java language, and right now, you can only use the debug functionality in Java. I see that people who know programming languages other than Java currently face difficulties."
"Talend Open Studio's interface does not provide a good experience...I would like to see better documentation and a more enhanced graphical interface in Talend Open Studio."
"The documentation is lacking within the product. They need to get better at all aspects of describing how it works and how to use it."
"There used to be many Youtube channels that offered Talend training, but now there don't seem to be any. The solution should offer more online training resources."
"It doesn't have the ability to keep the repository of the source code (visual pipeline). It can be integrated with Git."
"Talent consumes a lot of resources on my PC."
