We performed a comparison between AWS Glue and BMC Data Management for IMS and DB2 on zOS based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Amazon Web Services (AWS), MuleSoft, Matillion and others in Cloud Data Integration."AWS Glue is quite better than other tools, but you have to learn it properly before you start using it."
"The solution is serverless so it allows us to transform data while optimizing the cost and performance of Spark jobs."
"AWS Glue's best features are scalability and cloud-based features."
"We no longer had to worry much about infrastructure management because AWS Glue is serverless, and Amazon takes care of the underlying infrastructure."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"I like the fact that AWS Glue works with Python scripts."
"The most valuable feature of AWS Glue is scalability."
"It's fairly straightforward as a product; it's not very complicated."
"BMC Data Management improved our data recovery process by simplifying it."
"I have worked with DB2's great features in the last five years. The IDAA feature transformed the vision of warehousing, business analytics, and big data at my bank. Besides the mainframe, I saw that this solution was evolutionary. It gives real-time information."
"The solution should offer features for streaming data in addition to batching data."
"The start-up time is really high right now. For instance, when you start up a new job, you have to wait for five or eight minutes before it starts. If the start-up time is reduced to one or two minutes, it will be great. It will be better to have a direct linkage to Redshift in AWS. If we can use data catalogs from Redshift, it will be so easy to create some data catalogs. Currently, we can only use data catalogs from S3."
"On occasion, the solution's dashboard reports that a project failed due to runtime but it actually succeeded."
"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 product is expensive for data streaming. This area needs improvement."
"The solution’s stability could be improved."
"If there's a cluster-related configuration, we have to make worker notes, which is quite a headache when processing a large amount of data."
"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."
"One area for improvement with this product could be in providing clearer guidance and tools for disaster recovery planning and execution."
"DB2 is a hard tool to grasp. It's hard for users to learn how to use it. It's not easy to see how it works."
