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."The most valuable feature for me is the visual interface of AWS Glue."
"AWS Glue is a stable and easy-to-use solution."
"AWS Glue is quite better than other tools, but you have to learn it properly before you start using it."
"The solution is serverless so it allows us to transform data while optimizing the cost and performance of Spark jobs."
"I appreciate AWS Glue for its cost-effectiveness."
"We have found it beneficial when moving data from one source to another."
"AWS Glue's best features are scalability and cloud-based features."
"The most valuable feature of AWS Glue is scalability."
"The solution is easy to use since it's a graphical tool. It also requires only low-level coding."
"I like how SAP Data Services links reporting and data integration. That's what's most interesting. You also have the opportunity to leverage the power of the Data Services server."
"The BA reporting tools, such as Data Services, and ETL tool in SAP Data Services are the most valuable. When we had in-memory requirements, we used HANA. HANA is most preferably for most the customers for in-memory. SAP is the first company that created the in-memory concept."
"The feature of SAP Data Services has enhanced our company's business processes because we are able to run around 800 jobs in areas like data extraction and transaction objects."
"The basic functionality is quite good as is the basic logic and data information."
"The fact that it's built on SQL, it makes it easy to write code. The database and the connection are quite smooth."
"The user interface is ok."
"The initial setup is not complex."
"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."
"It fails to handle massive databases acquired from various sources."
"AWS Glue would be improved by making it easier to switch from single to multi-cloud."
"The setup and installation is a bit complex without advanced knowledge or training."
"In terms of performance, if they can further optimize the execution time for serverless jobs, it would be a welcome improvement."
"Glue could perform better. It sometimes takes too long to test a Glue job. Google Cloud Platform offers more Python scripts than AWS."
"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."
"The monitoring is not that good."
"Some of the jobs that are built within Data Services require local files, and during initial deployment, those local files cannot be transported between machines simply because of security issues."
"With SAP Data Services, the problem arises when I try to connect to Azure Databricks."
"Newer feature integration is lagging behind the company acquisitions and the product could do more to service a broader range of devices."
"Source code control is another headache. When your source code base gets too large, managing the source code becomes cumbersome."
"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."
"It would be nice if this solution was a bit easier to move from development to production."
"The pricing of the solution should be improved."
"There should be some kind of enhancement that can be done on the admin side of certain sites where we can assign the roles and responsibilities. We should be able to control who is using the tool and how."
