With Amazon Athena you’re limited in scope when it comes to doing joins across other data sources like relational data systems and more. You have to set up a Lambda, which then connects with your database in the back, which is an additional piece you have to manage on your own.
With Ahana Cloud, you can directly connect to many different types of data sources including S3, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Redshift, Elastic, and more with a few clicks, and you’re ready to integrate with any cluster.
