The solution improves ETL performance but faces challenges with version upgrades
For ETL, I feel the performance is excellent. If I create jobs in a standard way, the performance is great, and maintenance is also seamless. It is serverless, so I do not need to worry about other integrations. It runs on a serverless VM. Glue services from AWS are regularly upgraded with new properties and functions. We use PySpark and other frameworks, which help customize our ETL process in a standard way. During our process, we utilized the typical SQL ITIL process standard in Glue-oriented ETL services, which helped us improve performance and time. AWS running time, mostly during the morning, saved us time compared to the old ETL method. There are many email notifications once a job is successful or fails, and we get notifications using SES or AWS's Simple Notification Service. Glue is integrated with both email alerts, and we are responsible for managing the full data journey from end to end.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"AWS Glue's best features are scalability and cloud-based features."
"Our entire use case was very easily handled or solved using this solution."
"The best thing about AWS Glue is its scalability and how easy it is to process a large amount of data."
"Its user interface is quite good; you just need to choose some options to create a job in AWS Glue, and the code-generation feature is also useful because if you don't want to customize it and simply want to read a file and store the data in the database, it can generate the code for you."
"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 most valuable features currently are glue studio, jobs, and triggers."
"It's fairly straightforward as a product; it's not very complicated."
"I like that it's flexible, powerful, and allows you to write your own queries and scripts to get the needed transformations."
"DBMoto was very simple to set up and move our tables to the Oracle DB."
"It's a good product that is user-friendly and easy to manage, and I would recommend it to others."
"The most valuable features are that is easy to install and it is user-friendly."
 

Cons

"AWS Glue's error handling is difficult."
"The drawbacks associated with the product stem from the fact that, based on the data volume, it can become very costly."
"There could be an enhanced way of managing pure metadata management or data cataloging."
"While working on AWS Glue, I could not find any training material for it."
"It fails to handle massive databases acquired from various sources."
"There is a learning curve to this tool."
"The setup and installation is a bit complex without advanced knowledge or training."
"The solution’s stability could be improved."
"This product would be improved with additional built-in functions for simpler date conversion, as well as for data type transformations."
"Pricing is an area that needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is an expensive product. I rate its pricing a nine out of ten."
"I rate the product's pricing a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is a high price, and ten is a low price."
"AWS Glue is a high-priced solution that bills the client $150,000 to $250,000 annually."
"AWS Glue follows a pay-as-you-go model, wherein the cost of the data you use will be counted as a monthly bill."
"I rate the tool's pricing a four out of ten."
"I would rate the solution a six or seven on a scale of one to ten, with ten being very expensive. Specifically, I rate its pricing a six out of ten."
"Its price is good. We pay as we go or based on the usage, which is a good thing for us because it is simple to forecast for the tool. It is good in terms of the financial planning of the company, and it is a good way to estimate the cost. It is also simple for our clients. In my opinion, it is one of the best tools in the market for ETL processes because of the fact that you pay as you use, which separates it from other big tools such as PowerCenter, Pentaho Data Integration, and Talend."
"I rate pricing an eight out of ten."
"Customers pay a license fee yearly."
"I found the price to be quite reasonable."
