We performed a comparison between AWS Glue and Denodo 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 its integration and ability to handle all data-related tasks."
"AWS Glue is a good solution for developers, they have the ability to write code in different languages and other software."
"Glue is a NoSQL-based data ETL tool that has some advantages over IIS and ISAs."
"The product has a valuable feature for data catalog."
"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."
"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 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 most valuable feature is the performance. Denodo is very useful, especially in this huge pharma environment. I've found that older SAP solutions were very tightly coupled to each other, which resulted in data restrictions. Getting data from different sources was tough and tedious. Compared to these old solutions, Denodo is very easy to work with for the analytical team. Now that we've implemented this virtualization layer, we are capable of getting the data very smoothly. We implemented a very small unit, but the performance and integration have been very good."
"The best thing about Denodo is that creating and deploying a web service can be done in about 10 minutes, compared to a whole day when it comes to other solutions (such as when deploying with Java and AWS)."
"The ability to transfer data is very valuable."
"Denodo's best features are its performance, easy data transformation, and the job scheduler."
"Data mining is one of the valuable features. We're able to connect all of the data sources with the installed driver, so that is a good advantage in Denodo. Being able to join the tables and view them is also valuable."
"This solution provides us with the ability to sync data, and make it available for anyone to use across the business."
"The most valuable feature is Data Catalogs."
"Access to numerous forums and internet information."
"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."
"The price of the solution could improve."
"I haven't looked into Glue in terms of seeking out flaws. I've not come across missing features."
"The solution’s stability could be improved."
"The setup and installation is a bit complex without advanced knowledge or training."
"I have encountered challenges with multi-region support."
"In terms of improvement, the performance of AWS Glue could be faster."
"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."
"The feature that you have to connect on LDAP needs improvement."
"It would be good if the solution provided a much-needed cellular platform."
"The solution is slow when there are many virtualization layers."
"The support is not the best and should be improved."
"Sometimes, Windows-related functions do not work properly in Denodo. The analytic functions in SQL do not work properly."
"We would like this solution to be more universally user-friendly. At present it is really only aimed at IT specialists."
"There are a couple of areas that can be improved in Denodo. From a stability point of view, sometimes we see issues in the data management functionality. This only happens now and then, however, and usually takes place when we add in our own customization."
"Performance management could be improved."
