We performed a comparison between AWS Glue vs Talend Open Studio based on our users’ reviews in five categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: AWS Glue has a slight edge in this comparison since it is more lightweight than Talend Open Studio.
"I like the fact that AWS Glue works with Python scripts."
"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."
"The solution is highly user-friendly, and its features are easy to use. The new addition of AWS Glue Data Catalog is also very beneficial, making the tool even more helpful for its users."
"The solution helps organizations gain flexibility in defining the structure of the data."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"AWS Glue is a good solution for developers, they have the ability to write code in different languages and other software."
"We no longer had to worry much about infrastructure management because AWS Glue is serverless, and Amazon takes care of the underlying infrastructure."
"The rapidity of integration with data may be one of the valuable features."
"Talend can connect to multiple data sources, including relational data sources, ERP, CRM, and others."
"The initial setup was quite straightforward. The deployment took between two and three days."
"The most valuable features are the ETL tools."
"The main differentiator that I have seen between Talend and other data integration tools is the ability to view the data pipeline in the form of a program."
"The solution has a good balance between automated items and the ability for a developer to integrate and extend what he needs. Other competing tools do not offer the same grade of flexibility when you need to go beyond what is provided by the tool. Talend, on the other hand, allows you to expand very easily."
"The initial setup of the product was very easy."
"The product is easy to install and configure. It is one of the best tools for data integration."
"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 solution's visual ETL tool is of no use for actual implementation."
"The price of the solution could improve."
"The product is expensive for data streaming. This area needs improvement."
"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 product has only a few built-in transformations."
"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."
"The pricing could be lower. They should work to make it more affordable."
"In terms of what can be improved, the scheduling is not there in the sister version, while it is there in the cloud one, which is a paid version. If all kinds of scheduling could be available on the Open Studio that we generally use and practice on, that would be great. The scheduling of the data migration is currently not available in the sister version of Talend Open Studio that we are working on. It is available in the advanced version of the Talend. This is the one thing that can be improvised."
"It gets the job done but it's a bit slow."
"The documentation is lacking within the product. They need to get better at all aspects of describing how it works and how to use it."
"We don't get continuous replication of the data."
"Talent consumes a lot of resources on my PC."
"If I compare Open Studion to other solutions, their interface is robust but not so fancy looking. This is an area that could use improvement. I would like to see an updated interface."
"It doesn't have the ability to keep the repository of the source code (visual pipeline). It can be integrated with Git."
