Pros
"Support for multiple data sources and formats is a fantastic feature."

More AWS AppSync Pros →

"The most valuable feature of FME is the graphical user interface. There is nothing better. It is very easy to debug because you can see all steps where there are failures. Overall the software is easy to optimize a process.""It has standard plug-ins available for different data sources.""We make minor subtle changes to the workbenches to improve it. We can share the workbenches. We don't have to use GitHub or anything else.""It has a very friendly user interface. You don't need to use a lot of code. For us that's the most important aspect about it. Also, it has a lot of connectors and few forms. It has a strong facial aspect. It can do a lot of facial analysis.""All spatial features are unrivaled, and the possibility to execute them based on a scheduled trigger, manual, e-mail, Websocket, tweet, file/directory change or virtually any trigger is most valuable."

Cons
"Moving to other clouds is impossible without significantly rearchitecting your applications."

More AWS AppSync Cons →

"Improvements could be made to mapping presentations.""The one thing that always appears in the community is the ability to make really easy loops to loop through data efficiently. That needs to be added at some point.""FME can improve the geographical transformation. I've had some problems with the geographical transformations, but it's probably mostly because I'm not the most skilled geographer in-house. The solution requires some in-depth knowledge to perform some functions.""To get a higher rating, it would have to improve the price and the associated scalability. These are the main issues.""FME's price needs improvement for the African market."

    Overview

    AWS AppSync simplifies application development by letting you create a flexible API to securely access, manipulate, and combine data from one or more data sources. AppSync is a managed service that uses GraphQL to make it easy for applications to get exactly the data they need.

    With AppSync, you can build scalable applications, including those requiring real-time updates, on a range of data sources such as NoSQL data stores, relational databases, HTTP APIs, and your custom data sources with AWS Lambda. For mobile and web apps, AppSync additionally provides local data access when devices go offline, and data synchronization with customizable conflict resolution, when they are back online.

    FME is the data integration platform with the best support for spatial data. Run workflows on the desktop or deploy them in a server or cloud environment.
