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."Our entire use case was very easily handled or solved using this solution."
"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."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"The solution helps organizations gain flexibility in defining the structure of the data."
"I like the fact that AWS Glue works with Python scripts."
"It is a stable and scalable solution."
"The solution's technical support is good. Whenever we raise a use case where we face an issue in our company, we get a response from the solution's technical team."
"It's fairly straightforward as a product; it's not very complicated."
"The HANA database, which is very fast, is a valuable feature."
"I appreciate having access to the SAP data."
"The solution is easy to use since it's a graphical tool. It also requires only low-level coding."
"The maintenance of data services is the solution's most valuable feature."
"Technical support from SAP is awesome. If we have an issue, they give a good solution."
"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."
"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 mapping area and the use of the data catalog from Glue could be better."
"We face performance issues when using AWS Glue for data transformation and integration."
"Glue could perform better. It sometimes takes too long to test a Glue job. Google Cloud Platform offers more Python scripts than AWS."
"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 solution’s stability could be improved."
"The setup and installation is a bit complex without advanced knowledge or training."
"It fails to handle massive databases acquired from various sources."
"The interface for AWS Glue could improve, they do not put a lot of details. You can write the code, in PySpark or in Scala, which is a big advantage, it is only easy to use for a developer. It will be difficult for new users to enter the cloud environment."
"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."
"The initial setup is complex."
"Data Services SAP is lacking in sources and target databases compared to Informatica. SAP Data Services should have more connectivity."
"The solution should offer more machine learning and automation."
"There needs to be multi-language support, however, my understanding is they are working on multi-language now."
"It's an ETL that is very good with relational databases but not as good with files and semi-structured files."
"We encounter challenges while exporting implemented rules, such as those applied to objects like the material master, into a format like Excel for documentation and further analysis."
"In the future, Data Services should offer a cloud version."
