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."AWS Glue's best features are scalability and cloud-based features."
"AWS Glue is a good solution for developers, they have the ability to write code in different languages and other software."
"The product has a valuable feature for data catalog."
"What I like best about AWS Glue is its real-time data backup feature. Last week, there was a production push, and what used to take almost ten days to send out around fifty-six thousand emails now takes only two hours."
"The solution integrates well with other AWS products or services."
"AWS Glue is a stable and easy-to-use solution."
"The most valuable feature of AWS Glue is scalability."
"The most valuable feature of AWS Glue is that it provides a GUI format with a drag-and-drop feature."
"It has good integrations with Amazon Redshift and other AWS services."
"The tool's middle-dimensional structure significantly simplifies obtaining the right data at the appropriate level. This feature makes deploying our applications easier since we utilize a single source without publishing data from various sources."
"The simplicity of this tool is nice. It has a good graphical user interface. You can also do a lot of generic stuff in the tool. If there is good connectivity to a cloud database, such as Snowflake, and you can have a lot of Snowflake functionality in the tool."
"The technical support treats us well. They already have a support portal, and they are responsive, which helps."
"The most valuable feature of Matillion ETL is the ETL. The solution is open-source which provides advantages, such as good performance and high efficiency. Additionally, it supports three data types which eliminates predefining the data, and we can write script models in Python."
"It can scale to a great extent. It can handle the load that we are putting on it, which is about 5TBs."
"It's been able to do everything we require."
"The loading of data is the most valuable feature of Matillion ETL."
"The monitoring is not that good."
"I would like to see stable libraries at the moment they are not there."
"There is a learning curve to this tool."
"There should be more connectors for different databases."
"It fails to handle massive databases acquired from various sources."
"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."
"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."
"The crucial problem with AWS Glue is that it only works with AWS. It is not an agnostic tool like Pentaho. In PowerCenter, we can install the forms from Google and other vendors, but in the case of AWS Glue, we can only use AWS."
"Unlike Snowflake which automatically takes care of upgrading to the latest version and includes additional features, with Matillion ETL we need to do this ourselves."
"While the UI is good, it could be improved in its efficiency and made easier to use."
"I found some of the more complex aspects of ETL challenging, but I grasped the concepts fairly quickly."
"Performance can be improved for efficiency, and it can be made faster."
"The product must enhance its near-real-time data capture feature."
"The current version is a bit more limited because it's on a virtual machine, and everything executes on that one virtual machine."
"It can have multi-environment support. We should be able to deploy it in different environments. Its integration with SAP connection is not so nice, which should be improved. It can also support an on-prem database."
"The tool's lineage is very weak."
