We performed a comparison between AWS Glue and Elastic Search 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."
"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."
"AWS Glue is a stable and easy-to-use solution."
"The product has a valuable feature for data catalog."
"The most valuable feature for me is the visual interface of AWS Glue."
"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."
"AWS Glue's most valuable features are the data catalog, including crawlers and tables, and Glue Studio, which means you don't have to use custom code."
"AWS Glue is a good solution for developers, they have the ability to write code in different languages and other software."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its utility and usefulness."
"The initial installation and setup were straightforward."
"The most valuable feature of Elastic Enterprise Search is user behavior analysis."
"The solution offers good stability."
"I have found the sort capability of Elastic very useful for allowing us to find the information we need very quickly."
"The most valuable feature of Elastic Enterprise Search is the opportunity to search behind and between different logs."
"It gives us the possibility to store and query this data and also do this efficiently and securely and without delays."
"Helps us to store the data in key value pairs and, based on that, we can produce visualisations in Kibana."
"The price of the solution could improve."
"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 monitoring is not that good."
"The solution should offer features for streaming data in addition to batching data."
"Glue could perform better. It sometimes takes too long to test a Glue job. Google Cloud Platform offers more Python scripts than AWS."
"It is not clear how the partition discovery would have been affected by more data coming in."
"AWS Glue is more costly compared to other tools like Airflow."
"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."
"Both the graph feature and the reporting feature are a little bit lacking. The alerting also needs to be improved."
"The pricing of this product needs to be more clear because I cannot understand it when I review the website."
"Better dashboards or a better configuration system would be very good."
"Elastic Search needs to improve its technical support. It should be customer-friendly and have good support."
"Elasticsearch could improve by honoring Unix environmental variables and not relying only on those provided by Java (e.g. installing plugins over the Unix http proxy)."
"Ratio aggregation is not supported in this solution."
"The solution's integration and configuration are not easy. Not many people know exactly what to do."
"I would rate the stability a seven out of ten. We faced a few issues."
