We performed a comparison between AWS Glue and webMethods Integration Server 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."Transformations are valuable because you can modify or override complex data logic from an open source or Spark to solve issues."
"The solution helps organizations gain flexibility in defining the structure of the data."
"AWS Glue's most valuable features are the data catalog, including crawlers and tables, and Glue Studio, which means you don't have to use custom code."
"The most valuable feature of AWS Glue is scalability."
"Our entire use case was very easily handled or solved using this solution."
"We no longer had to worry much about infrastructure management because AWS Glue is serverless, and Amazon takes care of the underlying infrastructure."
"AWS Glue is a stable and easy-to-use solution."
"One of the best features of the solution is its ability to easily integrate with other AWS services."
"The most valuable feature of the webMethods Integration Server is its reliability. It has a lot of great documentation from the service providers. Additionally, it is easy to use."
"The solution's ease-of-use is its most valuable feature, in which complex issues may be resolved."
"The product is very stable."
"What I like best about webMethods Integration Server is its portfolio of connectors."
"The Software AG Designer has been great. It's very intuitive."
"Broker and UM are the best features."
"It’s fairly easy to view, move, and mange access across different components. Different component types are categorized and can be viewed in a web based administration console."
"webMethods Integration Server is an easy-to-use solution and does not require a lot of coding."
"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."
"Cost-wise, AWS Glue is expensive, so that's an area for improvement. The process for setting up the solution was also complex, which is another area for improvement."
"AWS Glue is more costly compared to other tools like Airflow."
"The product has only a few built-in transformations."
"Overall, I consider the technical support to be fine, although the response time could be faster in certain cases."
"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."
"AWS Glue would be improved by making it easier to switch from single to multi-cloud."
"The start-up time is really high right now. For instance, when you start up a new job, you have to wait for five or eight minutes before it starts. If the start-up time is reduced to one or two minutes, it will be great. It will be better to have a direct linkage to Redshift in AWS. If we can use data catalogs from Redshift, it will be so easy to create some data catalogs. Currently, we can only use data catalogs from S3."
"This solution could be improved by offering subscription based licensing."
"In terms of scale, I would give it a four out of 10."
"The certifications and learning resources are not exposed openly enough. For instance, they have a trial version which comes with only a few basic features, and I think that community-wise they need to offer more free or open spaces where developers can feel encouraged to experiment."
"webMethods Integration Server needs to add more adapters."
"Documentation needs tuning. There is a lot of dependency with SoftwareAG. Even with the documentation at hand, you can struggle to implement scenarios without SAG’s help. By contrast, IBM’s documentation is self-explanatory, in my opinion."
"This is a great solution and the vendor could improve the marketing of the solution to be able to reach more clients."
"The learning curve is a little steep at first."
"The patching of infrastructure is not very smooth and improved authentication should be added in the next feature."
