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.
"Glue is a NoSQL-based data ETL tool that has some advantages over IIS and ISAs."
"It is a stable and scalable solution."
"One of the best features of the solution is its ability to easily integrate with other AWS services."
"It's fairly straightforward as a product; it's not very complicated."
"The solution's technical support is good. Whenever we raise a use case where we face an issue in our company, we get a response from the solution's technical team."
"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."
"Transformations are valuable because you can modify or override complex data logic from an open source or Spark to solve issues."
"I like its integration and ability to handle all data-related tasks."
"I didn't have many problems installing it. It seemed very straightforward to me."
"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 drag-and-drop feature in the interface is very good."
"It's a good tool. It has the ability to take apart and install whatever we need. It's very good for data, transformation, and loading."
"Open Studio's best features are that it's user-friendly, even for beginners, and very easy to implement."
"The Talend Studio connected to the Talend MDM (Master Data Management) is the most valuable feature. Talend Studio is used to create a job stream that connects to multiple data sources, matches, compares or creates a golden record for overall identification. It also has a good catalogue of objects that can be dragged and dropped for building models."
"There are many architectures: hybrid, cloud, and on-prem."
"The most interesting aspect of the solution for us is that Talend Open Studio has a good balance between the features and the cost of the data management platform."
"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."
"The solution could be cheaper. The price of the solution is an area that needs improvement."
"There should be more connectors for different databases."
"The product is expensive for data streaming. This area needs improvement."
"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 solution's visual ETL tool is of no use for actual implementation."
"I haven't looked into Glue in terms of seeking out flaws. I've not come across missing features."
"The setup and installation is a bit complex without advanced knowledge or training."
"Talend Open Studio's interface does not provide a good experience...I would like to see better documentation and a more enhanced graphical interface in Talend Open Studio."
"The pricing could be lower. They should work to make it more affordable."
"In terms of features, it has all the features that I need. However, it consumes a lot of resources. It is using a lot of RAM, and they need to fix the issue related to resource consumption. It currently requires more than 24 gigabytes of RAM, which is a big amount of RAM."
"he overall marketing and documentation of this product need to improve a lot."
"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."
"In the next release, Open Studio should include cloud storage as an input."
"The solution should offer better integration with other products."
"The profiling perspective needs improvement. Instead of using it in the studio, we are using a different tool which is also provided by Talend. It's redundant."
