Find out what your peers are saying about Amazon Web Services (AWS), MuleSoft, Matillion and others in Cloud Data Integration."AWS Glue is fast and managed by AWS. Hence, you don't have to worry about capacity and the performance of Glue jobs. It has integrations with other data stores of AWS. The product offers metadata management, logging, and ETL processing capabilities. It comes with a powerful feature, Glue Studio, which helps to do queries interactively within the community. It is a managed service and very secure. Another popular and mature service is S3."
"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."
"We have found it beneficial when moving data from one source to another."
"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."
"I like that it's flexible, powerful, and allows you to write your own queries and scripts to get the needed transformations."
"AWS Glue is a good solution for developers, they have the ability to write code in different languages and other software."
"It's fairly straightforward as a product; it's not very complicated."
"Glue is a NoSQL-based data ETL tool that has some advantages over IIS and ISAs."
"The connection configuration part and the drag-and-drop integration module are the most valuable features for me."
"It has been a stable product."
"I have found the solution to be scalable."
"Extremely flexible for any kind of integration between systems."
"This solution has a user-friendly interface and very good documentation with solutions that helped us in working with the tool efficiently."
"This is a fairly easy-to-use tool for integration which can be self-taught for those with a bit of a technical background."
"It's very user-friendly and designed to be easy to use for the end user."
"Low-code development is the most valuable feature."
"The mapping area and the use of the data catalog from Glue could be better."
"The crucial problem with AWS Glue is that it only works with AWS. It is not an agnostic tool like Pentaho. In PowerCenter, we can install the forms from Google and other vendors, but in the case of AWS Glue, we can only use AWS."
"The solution's visual ETL tool is of no use for actual implementation."
"The solution could be cheaper. The price of the solution is an area that needs improvement."
"We face performance issues when using AWS Glue for data transformation and integration."
"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."
"The product is expensive for data streaming. This area needs improvement."
"The product has only a few built-in transformations."
"There should be more scripting possibilities."
"There are still some areas that need improvement. For example, when updates are going on, the product becomes very slow."
"There is no validation in the mapping profile custom scripting, such as IntelliSense or advanced error checking."
"It crashes if we run high-volume integration."
"The solution is complex. There's a few items and features that are hard to understand. They should work to simplify the functionality so new users don't struggle."
"Have to create some of our own pre-built connectors."
"Boomi AtomSphere Integration is not yet exposed to the world as a good product owing to certain shortcomings in the area of marketing where improvements are required."
"They should create a custom connector option. With this, they could improve where the user can create the connector, based on their usage."
