We performed a comparison between AWS Glue and Palantir Foundry 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."The solution integrates well with other AWS products or services."
"The most valuable feature of AWS Glue is its ease of use and good documentation. Additionally, we can do all the transformations that we need."
"Glue is a NoSQL-based data ETL tool that has some advantages over IIS and ISAs."
"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."
"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 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."
"It is a stable and scalable solution."
"Our entire use case was very easily handled or solved using this solution."
"Great features available in one tool."
"The solution offers very good end-to-end capabilities."
"The solution provides an end-to-end integrated tech stack that takes care of all utility/infrastructure topics for you."
"The data lineage is great."
"It is easy to map out a workflow and run trigger-based scripts without having to deploy to another server."
"Encapsulates all the components without the requirement to integrate or check compatibility."
"The virtualization tool is useful."
"The ease of use is my favorite feature. We're able to build different models and projects or combine different projects to build one use case."
"Overall, I consider the technical support to be fine, although the response time could be faster in certain cases."
"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."
"We face performance issues when using AWS Glue for data transformation and integration."
"The product has only a few built-in transformations."
"It fails to handle massive databases acquired from various sources."
"It is not clear how the partition discovery would have been affected by more data coming in."
"The solution's visual ETL tool is of no use for actual implementation."
"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."
"Difficult to receive data from external sources."
"Compared to other hyperscalers, Palantir Foundry is complex and not so user-intuitive."
"It requires a lot of manual work and is very time-consuming to get to a functional point."
"The solution could use more online documentation for new users."
"If you want to create new models on specific data sets, computing that is quite costly."
"Some error messages can be very cryptic."
"The workflow could be improved."
"The frontend capabilities of Palantir Foundry could be improved."
