We performed a comparison between AWS Glue and IBM App Connect 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."One of the best features of the solution is its ability to easily integrate with other AWS services."
"We no longer had to worry much about infrastructure management because AWS Glue is serverless, and Amazon takes care of the underlying infrastructure."
"The solution is highly user-friendly, and its features are easy to use. The new addition of AWS Glue Data Catalog is also very beneficial, making the tool even more helpful for its users."
"Glue is a NoSQL-based data ETL tool that has some advantages over IIS and ISAs."
"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."
"It's fairly straightforward as a product; it's not very complicated."
"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."
"Data catalog and triggers are the two best features for me. AWS Glue has its own data catalog, which makes it great and really easy to use. Triggers are also really good for scheduling the ETL process."
"It has an efficient design flow."
"Provides good security features."
"The solution is fast and supports Open UI 3.0 certification."
"It has different type of interfaces that can integrate with companies."
"When using IBM stacks, IBM App Connect is suitable and integrates well with other IBM products like WebSphere."
"It's stable to use, connect with the cloud, and to deploy."
"It can handle API conversions with mapping and transformation rules, simplifying the development process."
"It's a powerful application for collaboration. It has many features for customization and integration."
"It is not clear how the partition discovery would have been affected by more data coming in."
"We face performance issues when using AWS Glue for data transformation and integration."
"The solution should offer features for streaming data in addition to batching data."
"There should be more connectors for different databases."
"AWS Glue would be improved by making it easier to switch from single to multi-cloud."
"It fails to handle massive databases acquired from various sources."
"The mapping area and the use of the data catalog from Glue could be better."
"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."
"IBM App Connect is scalable. From the administration side, they need to improve the RBAC model, as well as the clustering of this product. It will be good if we can start up the cluster, via IBM Connect Console. Some other products like MuleSoft, are providing this type of administration. MuleSoft is easy to use and user friendly."
"The addition of string functionality would be a benefit, particularly in the ESQL space that IBM already uses internally."
"More connectors could be available for the product as some of the third-party software doesn't have default connectors."
"In the next release, I would like to get some quality connectors."
"The interface could be better."
"The setup time for App Connect could be improved."
"The user interface of IBM App Connect can be a little bit more user-friendly, I would say because the first-time developer is onboarded while using IBM App Connect, he or she may get a little intimidated or daunted looking at all the options available or the pipelines, et cetera."
"Updates are constantly delayed."
