Efficient data integration reduces operational time and enhances metadata management
For the initial setup with AWS Glue, I find it easy to set up the data catalog and create Glue jobs using the visual editor or the visual code. Setting permission sets via IAM rules can be a bit tricky at the start, but we ensure Glue has access to AWS S3, Redshift, and other services. Once the role is configured, it runs smoothly. For advanced configurations, connecting to VPCs and setting up connections with JDBC sources takes more time compared to my cloud experience, but overall, for someone with cloud and ETL experience, the setup is manageable and well done.

"The most valuable features are that is easy to install and it is user-friendly."
 

Cons

"There could be an enhanced way of managing pure metadata management or data cataloging."
"In terms of performance, if they can further optimize the execution time for serverless jobs, it would be a welcome improvement."
"There is a learning curve to this tool."
"The product has only a few built-in transformations."
"We face performance issues when using AWS Glue for data transformation and integration."
"AWS Glue's error handling is difficult."
"AWS Glue should be more reliable and faster in processing. Enhancing the speed of data processing would be beneficial."
"The point for improvement in AWS Glue would be the dynamic allocation of resources while utilizing Lambda functions."
"Pricing is an area that needs improvement."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate pricing an eight out of ten."
"The overall cost of AWS Glue could be better. It cost approximately $1,000 a month. There is paid support available from AWS Glue."
"I rate the tool an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is expensive, and ten is expensive."
"I rate the tool's pricing a four out of ten."
"The pricing is a bit higher than other solutions like Athena and EC2. If the pricing becomes more scaled or flexible, it will be good because you have to pay 44 cents just for one DPU for an hour. If you increase DPUs to 5 or 10, the pricing gets multiplied. There are also some time limits like 0 to 10 minutes or 10 to 20 minutes. If the pricing is according to the minutes, it would be better because you have to limit your job to 10 minutes or 20 minutes."
"If you are using the solution for an enterprise business, it will be expensive."
"AWS Glue is a paid service that doesn't come under the free trial of AWS."
"AWS Glue is a high-priced solution that bills the client $150,000 to $250,000 annually."
"Customers pay a license fee yearly."
"I found the price to be quite reasonable."
