We performed a comparison between AWS Glue and Zapier 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 most valuable feature of AWS Glue is scalability."
"Our entire use case was very easily handled or solved using this solution."
"Its user interface is quite good. You just need to choose some options to create a job in AWS Glue. The code-generation feature is also useful. If you don't want to customize it and simply want to read a file and store the data in the database, it can generate the code for you."
"AWS Glue is a stable and easy-to-use solution."
"The most valuable features currently are glue studio, jobs, and triggers."
"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."
"The solution is serverless so it allows us to transform data while optimizing the cost and performance of Spark jobs."
"Webhooks are the most valuable feature of Zapier."
"What's most valuable in Zapier is its simplicity, seamlessness, and smooth plug-in, so you won't need to build code for every action. I'm not a developer, but I can use Zapier."
"Zapier luckily has a wide range of integrations, I would say."
"The most valuable aspect of this solution is that it is very intuitive and has a very flat learning curve."
"Zapier is user friendly and makes it easy to integrate different tools. It has a drag and drop functionality which makes it easy to connect environments."
"The product's initial setup phase was very easy."
"The initial setup is pretty easy to do."
"We find it effortless to set up. We really don't have to do anything other than finding the application in the Zapier catalog. And as long as the application has been re-integrated into Zapier, they're able to then just provide the connection details and hook it up."
"Overall, I consider the technical support to be fine, although the response time could be faster in certain cases."
"The technical support for this solution could be improved. In future, we would like to connect more services like Athena or Kinesis to help control more loads of data."
"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."
"It is not clear how the partition discovery would have been affected by more data coming in."
"AWS Glue is more costly compared to other tools like Airflow."
"I would like to see a more robust interface on the no-code side. This would be nice to be able to split cells."
"The price of the solution could improve."
"We face performance issues when using AWS Glue for data transformation and integration."
"The pricing could be a little cheaper."
"I would like to see them improve the Quickbase integration. Currently, it only allows triggering actions when records are added, but it would be more useful if we could also trigger actions when records are modified or deleted."
"Being able to share Zaps and organize them with teammates would allow sharing and refining scenarios and even combining steps that require different people's credentials."
"The solution does not work properly when we apply filters and we get errors."
"My biggest concern with Zapier would be their pricing strategy."
"There is room for improvement in the support. They are not responsive, and they don't take much time to get resolved."
"Zapier needs more YouTube or video tutorials or more training for people. That would help a lot. In particular, Zapier should have documentation for every connector. Its documentation needs to be more detailed and visual."
"Some recent changes to the solution have made it bulky and not as intuitive to use as it previously was."
