We performed a comparison between AWS Glue and SnapLogic 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."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 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."
"I appreciate AWS Glue for its cost-effectiveness."
"What I like best about AWS Glue is its real-time data backup feature. Last week, there was a production push, and what used to take almost ten days to send out around fifty-six thousand emails now takes only two hours."
"One of the best features of the solution is its ability to easily integrate with other AWS services."
"Glue is a NoSQL-based data ETL tool that has some advantages over IIS and ISAs."
"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."
"It's more developer-friendly, and development can be done at a faster phase."
"The solution could improve its API management."
"An important tool for building prototypes and MVPs than can seamlessly turn into production jobs"
"By using snaps instead of functions in code, you can see the building blocks of the integration visually. This helps a lot."
"SnapLogic is an IPA tool that leverages a low code environment to connect to multiple sources, extract data, and store it in Azure data lake."
"The solutions ability to connect "snaps" or components to the graphic user interface is very intuitive, prevents errors, and makes implementations easy."
"SnapLogice is a low-code development tool."
"SnapLogic is a great platform for establishing integrations among various systems or patterns by using any kind of interface. If something is not supported by predefined snaps – snaps are connectors in SnapLogic – you can create them (custom snaps) or write a script."
"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."
"The setup and installation is a bit complex without advanced knowledge or training."
"The mapping area and the use of the data catalog from Glue could be better."
"In terms of performance, if they can further optimize the execution time for serverless jobs, it would be a welcome improvement."
"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."
"In terms of improvement, the performance of AWS Glue could be faster."
"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."
"We face performance issues when using AWS Glue for data transformation and integration."
"I would like to see more performance-related dashboards, ones that display the cost of a pipeline, for instance. Also, it would be helpful to have management dashboards for overseeing pipelines and connections."
"There is room for improvement with APM management and how task execution looks."
"One area for improvement in SnapLogic is the transparency in the flow of data. It needs to have more transparency. Right now, users only have a preview option at the end of any job flow, so at the end of any Snap Pack, there is a data preview option that lets you review the data and see how it's moving. What would make the solution better is more debugging and more access to change data from the preview panel or more functionality in terms of the preview option."
"SnapLogic should have some inbuilt protocol mechanism in order to speed up."
"The problem is that SnapLogic doesn't offer a wide variety of connectors. For example, integrating with Salesforce is not that easy."
"I am looking for more scheduling options. When it comes to scheduling, there are different tools in the market."
"The solution isn't ideal for complex processing or logic. We use another solution for that."
"SnapLogic sits somewhere in the middle. It doesn’t offer enough easy canned integrations for its users like some of the easier to use integration apps."
