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."We no longer had to worry much about infrastructure management because AWS Glue is serverless, and Amazon takes care of the underlying infrastructure."
"The most valuable feature of AWS Glue is that it provides a GUI format with a drag-and-drop feature."
"I like its integration and ability to handle all data-related tasks."
"We have found it beneficial when moving data from one source to another."
"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 features currently are glue studio, jobs, and triggers."
"It is AWS-integrated. There is end-to-end integration with the other AWS services. It is also user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature for me is the visual interface of AWS Glue."
"The API tool in this product is very valuable; it is very easy to onboard and use."
"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 initial setup is not complex."
"The solution is easy to use since it's a graphical tool. It also requires only low-level coding."
"The most valuable feature is the ETL functionality."
"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 product's most valuable features are data validation and rules."
"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."
"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."
"I haven't looked into Glue in terms of seeking out flaws. I've not come across missing features."
"It fails to handle massive databases acquired from various sources."
"The solution should offer features for streaming data in addition to batching data."
"The product has only a few built-in transformations."
"The monitoring is not that good."
"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."
"We face performance issues when using AWS Glue for data transformation and integration."
"The pricing of the solution should be improved."
"Newer feature integration is lagging behind the company acquisitions and the product could do more to service a broader range of devices."
"At the integration level, there could be certain set of improvement to connect to various other systems."
"Scheduling of jobs in the sequence is not available. It's a very tedious process to do that particular task. If there was a tool to schedule in the sequence that would be extremely helpful."
"We would like the different tools offered within this solution to be available as standalone entities, rather than having to purchase the entire package when we only require a few features."
"In the future, Data Services should offer a cloud version."
"The description of error messages isn't extensive, although they point to the problem. With other solutions, like Talend, I was able to use the debugger to get directly to the problem, but with SAP Data Services the debugger is not working. I'm not sure if it's a problem with the version specifically, but I'm using it in an enterprise environment and I can't do an upgrade."
"Integration with other products could be improved."
