We performed a comparison between AWS Glue and Palantir Foundry 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 most valuable features currently are glue studio, jobs, and triggers."
"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 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."
"We no longer had to worry much about infrastructure management because AWS Glue is serverless, and Amazon takes care of the underlying infrastructure."
"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."
"Data catalog and triggers are the two best features for me. AWS Glue has its own data catalog, which makes it great and really easy to use. Triggers are also really good for scheduling the ETL process."
"We have found it beneficial when moving data from one source to another."
"The solution is serverless so it allows us to transform data while optimizing the cost and performance of Spark jobs."
"The ease of use is my favorite feature. We're able to build different models and projects or combine different projects to build one use case."
"The solution offers very good end-to-end capabilities."
"It's scalable."
"The security is also excellent. It's highly granular, so the admins have a high degree of control, and there are many levels of security. That worked well. You won't have an EDC unless you put everything onto the platform because it is its own isolated thing."
"It is easy to map out a workflow and run trigger-based scripts without having to deploy to another server."
"The AI engine that comes with Palantir Foundry is quite interesting."
"The virtualization tool is useful."
"The data lineage is great."
"The solution could be cheaper. The price of the solution is an area that needs improvement."
"The product is expensive for data streaming. This area needs improvement."
"Cost-wise, AWS Glue is expensive, so that's an area for improvement. The process for setting up the solution was also complex, which is another area for improvement."
"We face performance issues when using AWS Glue for data transformation and integration."
"While working on AWS Glue, I could not find any training material for it."
"I have encountered challenges with multi-region support."
"I haven't looked into Glue in terms of seeking out flaws. I've not come across missing features."
"AWS Glue would be improved by making it easier to switch from single to multi-cloud."
"There is not a wide user base for the solution's online documentation so it is sometimes difficult to find answers."
"The data lineage was challenging. It's hard to track data from the sources as it moves through stages. Informatica EDC can easily capture and report it because it talks to the metadata. This is generated across those various staging points."
"The frontend capabilities of Palantir Foundry could be improved."
"Difficult to receive data from external sources."
"Compared to other hyperscalers, Palantir Foundry is complex and not so user-intuitive."
"It would be helpful to build applications based on Azure functions or web apps in Palantir Foundry."
"Cost of this solution is quite high."
"The solution could use more online documentation for new users."
