We performed a comparison between AWS Glue and Tungsten RPA 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."The solution is highly user-friendly, and its features are easy to use. The new addition of AWS Glue Data Catalog is also very beneficial, making the tool even more helpful for its users."
"Its user interface is quite good. You just need to choose some options to create a job in AWS Glue. The code-generation feature is also useful. If you don't want to customize it and simply want to read a file and store the data in the database, it can generate the code for you."
"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 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."
"Transformations are valuable because you can modify or override complex data logic from an open source or Spark to solve issues."
"I like its integration and ability to handle all data-related tasks."
"It is AWS-integrated. There is end-to-end integration with the other AWS services. It is also user-friendly."
"We no longer had to worry much about infrastructure management because AWS Glue is serverless, and Amazon takes care of the underlying infrastructure."
"The ability to script information from websites is most valuable. It also seems to be fairly robust and reasonably easy to manage on a server-based deployment. We have a number of robots operating on the central server."
"This is a stable platform and we did not encounter any big problems."
"It is very simple and easy to learn compared to any other RPA tools such as UiPath, Automation Anywhere and Blue Prism."
"The product provided all the security controls that we asked them."
"The flexibility to use already-developed components is really good. You can use it for Excel-related operations and other things."
"The drag and drop functionality is quite good."
"The pricing of the solution is quite good."
"You can automate browsing tasks without needing a server connection. The platform provides its browser, allowing you to run anything inside it."
"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 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."
"Currently, it supports only two languages in the background: Python and Scala. From our customization point of view, it would be helpful if it can also support Java in the background."
"It would be better if it were more user-friendly. The interesting thing we found is that it was a little strange at the beginning. The way Glue works is not very straightforward. After trying different things, for example, we used just the console to create jobs. Then we realized that things were not working as expected. After researching and learning more, we realized that even though the console creates the script for the ETL processes, you need to modify or write your own script in Spark to do everything you want it to do. For example, we are pulling data from our source database and our application database, which is in Aurora. From there, we are doing the ETL to transform the data and write the results into Redshift. But what was surprising is that it's almost like whatever you want to do, you can do it with Glue because you have the option to put together your own script. Even though there are many functionalities and many connections, you have the opportunity to write your own queries to do whatever transformations you need to do. It's a little deceiving that some options are supposed to work in a certain way when you set them up in the console, but then they are not exactly working the right way or not as expected. It would be better if they provided more examples and more documentation on options."
"The monitoring is not that good."
"The price of the solution could improve."
"While working on AWS Glue, I could not find any training material for it."
"The product has some constraints and performance issues."
"Kofax RPA's UI could be more user-friendly."
"It needs a free training portal for anybody on the internet to use so that they can get an idea of what the possibilities are."
"This product has room for improvement in support of aviation. The interface could be improved in the next release."
"Kofax RPA needs to improve integration with SAP and Microsoft. The professional services offered by the tool's team is below par. Its licensing needs to be more modular."
"The interface could be better from a usability standpoint."
"I'd like to see a recording function and a more simple interface."
"The solution needs to be scalable."
