We performed a comparison between AWS Glue and Denodo 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 that it provides a GUI format with a drag-and-drop feature."
"Transformations are valuable because you can modify or override complex data logic from an open source or Spark to solve issues."
"It is a stable and scalable solution."
"Glue is a NoSQL-based data ETL tool that has some advantages over IIS and ISAs."
"It is AWS-integrated. There is end-to-end integration with the other AWS services. It is also user-friendly."
"AWS Glue is a good solution for developers, they have the ability to write code in different languages and other software."
"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."
"The most valuable features are query optimization and the single language independence from the sources we're using to catch data."
"The most valuable feature is Data Catalogs."
"Denodo is very stable."
"The best thing about Denodo is that creating and deploying a web service can be done in about 10 minutes, compared to a whole day when it comes to other solutions (such as when deploying with Java and AWS)."
"The performance and the speed to market are the most valuable features of this solution."
"The logical data warehouse functionality is fantastic. It truly stands out. The ClearOptimizer and Virtual Cache are great features. They work together seamlessly to optimize performance."
"Denodo's best features are its performance, easy data transformation, and the job scheduler."
"The most valuable features of Denodo are the extraction option for adapters, and there are many things for the views, that are cached. Denodo is not storing the data, it looks first to tune the query, and these things are for the agents."
"Glue could perform better. It sometimes takes too long to test a Glue job. Google Cloud Platform offers more Python scripts than AWS."
"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."
"I have encountered challenges with multi-region support."
"The monitoring is not that good."
"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 start-up time is really high right now. For instance, when you start up a new job, you have to wait for five or eight minutes before it starts. If the start-up time is reduced to one or two minutes, it will be great. It will be better to have a direct linkage to Redshift in AWS. If we can use data catalogs from Redshift, it will be so easy to create some data catalogs. Currently, we can only use data catalogs from S3."
"While working on AWS Glue, I could not find any training material for it."
"Monitoring event logs can be improved. In the older version, there was a monitoring schedule to get event reports and properly audit the reports. In the newer version, it is not there, and we have to manually configure data and audit events."
"Denodo's training documentation could be improved by providing more material. From an administrative standpoint, I've found that only Denodo websites provide the usual tutorials. It may be because it's a bit of a restricted tool, but it results in trouble with learning. Normally, I can find help and solutions from other sources, but I haven't been able to find any for Denodo. Other that, it's fine and it performs well. I only have six months of experience, so I can't accurately suggest improvements."
"We can't scale it to meet digital requirements."
"I would like to see a connectivity option with third-party apps, for example, JDBC, and ODBC drivers. Currently, we need to install it separately from the Denodo side and then connect it."
"Denodo has some difficulty supporting large numbers of records."
"Denodo currently integrates with ChatGPT, but the ability to manage and utilize them directly within Denodo would be a significant improvement."
"Lacks integrations with AWS, GCP and the like."
"The git configuration really should be improved."
