User Testimonials
	AWS Glue	IBM SPSS Modeler
Likelihood to Recommend	When the data which requires ETL has different formats, schema, and volume, this service suits them best. So, when the volume is not consistent (typical use-case of healthcare and online shopping), AWS Glue can be the prime choice. When the data is available in both batch and streaming mode, the developer needs to generate a separate codebase. This increases the source code management efforts. So, prefer to go with Glue when the nature of the data is the same (either batched or streamed). Incentivized Apurv Doshi Practice Head - Labs (Innovation and R&D) Read full review	Modeler is well suited for understanding consumer data. The ability to create a prediction and then to understand what is driving that prediction is strong in Modeler. Modeler is closely aligned with the CRISP-DM data mining approach meaning it is not just the 'doing' but also the theoretical background behind the development of data mining models. Incentivized Tim Daciuk Director, Advanced Analytics Read full review
Pros	After data cleansing, the team also implemented the best practices for using AWS platform services as a Data Lake, such as job bookmarking for AWS Glue jobs, proper delimiter for the AWS Glue crawlers, partitioning in AWS S3, and transformation to parquet file for compression and faster querying time in Amazon Athena. Data modernization through combining data from multiple sources into a functioning datasets, rebuilding DW, and resctructuring data sources. Aims to lessen customer complaints, eliminate manual data extraction requests via SR from different data sources, and Increase accuracy, consistency and speed up reconciliation process. Incentivized SC Sonny Carlos Head of Cloud and Data Business Read full review	A very nice and easy to use interface. A great variety of analytics, from statistical calculation to data validation and predictive statistics. Has a steep learning curve.

Cons	It’s integration with other cloud vendors is bit difficult If it can support non SQL based databases as well, it would be powerful. Real time data synchronisation in data source is missing Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Some Analyses aren't there out of the box but can be added through open languages like R and Python. Graphs could be better. Unable to read data stored in OLAP databases Incentivized Jesús Quintana Gerente de Ventas Sector Gobierno Read full review
Usability	I personally found it very usable for a data engineer's day job, particularly for performing ETL and managing the data pipelines.

Support Rating	Amazon responds in good time once the ticket has been generated but needs to generate tickets frequent because very few sample codes are available, and it's not cover all the scenarios.

Alternatives Considered	The cataloging of data objects is the best in the case of AWS Glue.

Compared to SAS Data Miner, the SPSS Modeler is a good competitor. SAS probably is more integrated in the market for a visual-based code for data science activities.
