We performed a comparison between AWS Glue and IBM App Connect based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."One of the best features of the solution is its ability to easily integrate with other AWS services."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"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."
"AWS Glue's best features are scalability and cloud-based features."
"I appreciate AWS Glue for its cost-effectiveness."
"I like the fact that AWS Glue works with Python scripts."
"The product has a valuable feature for data catalog."
"AWS Glue is a good solution for developers, they have the ability to write code in different languages and other software."
"There is a friendly interface for configuration, and integration is made easy."
"I like the adapters. The adapters help us achieve scalability. If you want to connect to SAP, there's an adapter. Salesforce? There's an adapter. You want to connect to another system? There's likely an adapter for that."
"I would say that the most valuable feature is the array of connectors and integration tools."
"It's stable to use, connect with the cloud, and to deploy."
"Provides good security features."
"It's a powerful application for collaboration. It has many features for customization and integration."
"App Connect's best feature is that it can be deployed in a container."
"It has different type of interfaces that can integrate with companies."
"I would like to see a more robust interface on the no-code side. This would be nice to be able to split cells."
"AWS Glue is more costly compared to other tools like Airflow."
"It is not clear how the partition discovery would have been affected by more data coming in."
"In terms of improvement, the performance of AWS Glue could be faster."
"I would like to see stable libraries at the moment they are not there."
"The solution could be cheaper. The price of the solution is an area that needs improvement."
"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."
"The addition of string functionality would be a benefit, particularly in the ESQL space that IBM already uses internally."
"More connectors could be available for the product as some of the third-party software doesn't have default connectors."
"The setup time for App Connect could be improved."
"IBM App Connect should improve security features."
"The installation of containers could be simplified, as it currently requires a senior-level installer."
"The interface could be better."
"Updates are constantly delayed."
"When we do a version upgrade of the system, the platform is kind of complicated."
