We performed a comparison between AWS Glue and SAP Data Services 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."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 most valuable feature of AWS Glue is scalability."
"I also like that you can add custom libraries like JAR files and use them. So, the ability to use a fast processing engine and embed basic jobs easily are significant advantages."
"The solution integrates well with other AWS products or services."
"I appreciate AWS Glue for its cost-effectiveness."
"AWS Glue is quite better than other tools, but you have to learn it properly before you start using it."
"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."
"It is a stable and scalable solution."
"It's easy to understand and deploy. It's easy to create new applications, and depending on the complexity of the application, it is easy to deploy the new requirements."
"The most valuable feature is the logging capability."
"The reporting on the data, even from third-party software, is very good."
"The solution is easy to use since it's a graphical tool. It also requires only low-level coding."
"The maintenance of data services is the solution's most valuable feature."
"You can always manipulate a lot of things as long as you have the skill level."
"I have worked with Data Services for a long time, and currently, I find the dashboarding and reporting part to be the most valuable function."
"I like how SAP Data Services links reporting and data integration. That's what's most interesting. You also have the opportunity to leverage the power of the Data Services server."
"The solution's visual ETL tool is of no use for actual implementation."
"The solution should offer features for streaming data in addition to batching data."
"AWS Glue would be improved by making it easier to switch from single to multi-cloud."
"There should be more connectors for different databases."
"There is a learning curve to this tool."
"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."
"On occasion, the solution's dashboard reports that a project failed due to runtime but it actually succeeded."
"The solution could be cheaper. The price of the solution is an area that needs improvement."
"It would be nice if this solution was a bit easier to move from development to production."
"The description of error messages isn't extensive, although they point to the problem. With other solutions, like Talend, I was able to use the debugger to get directly to the problem, but with SAP Data Services the debugger is not working. I'm not sure if it's a problem with the version specifically, but I'm using it in an enterprise environment and I can't do an upgrade."
"There should be some kind of enhancement that can be done on the admin side of certain sites where we can assign the roles and responsibilities. We should be able to control who is using the tool and how."
"Source code control is another headache. When your source code base gets too large, managing the source code becomes cumbersome."
"I want some more business intelligence applications. People need to know more and more about data, including the transformation rules, etc. Informatica is a better product for data cataloging. SAP should update the data catalog."
"We encounter challenges while exporting implemented rules, such as those applied to objects like the material master, into a format like Excel for documentation and further analysis."
"The migration of the solution between different environments is quite complex."
"In the future, Data Services should offer a cloud version."
