Advaneo DataMarketplace vs AWS Data Exchange

Advaneo DataMarketplace catalogs data offers and provides a portal for discovering, licensing, and exchanging data. It stores descriptions rather than providers’ raw data; after a buyer accepts a license and payment is confirmed, the raw data transfers directly from provider to buyer. Discovery includes text search, visual navigation, and machine-learning-based metadata recommendations. Metadata follows a standard based on IDSA standards, and the site says the platform and search support 16 languages. Providers can offer data free or commercially, set license terms and prices, and supply raw data after acceptance and payment. Payments currently support Mastercard and Visa credit cards. An IDS Connector can link file systems, databases, and sensor streams, while authenticated connectors exchange data with one another. Its cloud Workbench provides Jupyter Notebook and lists Python 3, Julia 1.0.1, R, and Ruby 2.5.1 support; common data science libraries are preinstalled and can be extended. The Free plan costs nothing and includes 15 MB of Workbench space and an IDS-Connector trial. Premium is listed at €2,950 a month, with an advanced yearly payment of 25 € monthly. Advaneo was founded in 2002 and is based in Düsseldorf, Germany.

AWS Data Exchange is a marketplace for finding, subscribing to, and sharing data products. It has more than 3,500 products from over 300 providers, including over 1,000 free data products and custom data products. Offerings can be delivered as files, through APIs, or as Amazon Redshift, Amazon S3, and AWS Lake Formation data sets; Lake Formation is marked Preview. Data can be exported to S3 and analyzed with Athena or Redshift, or used with SageMaker, EMR, Glue, and Lake Formation. CloudWatch Events can retrieve new data-set revisions to S3 automatically. The service encrypts data in transit with SSL/TLS and at rest with server-side encryption, and CloudTrail integration supports API-call auditing. Providers can offer free or paid subscriptions lasting 1 to 36 months, with private offers allowing customized terms. Prices for paid products are set by providers, and subscribers may also incur standard S3 transfer charges and costs for AWS services used to store, process, or analyze data. Public Open Data on AWS products can be accessed with or without an AWS account.
