Featured Reviews

Saurabh Jaiswal - PeerSpot reviewer
Enables seamless integration and data preparation with robust transformation capabilities
AWS Glue's most valuable features include its transformation capabilities, which provide data quality and shape for processing in ML or AI models. It offers transformation options on canvas or through ETL pipelines, notebooks, and code. Additionally, it supports data preparation, cleaning, and filtering seamlessly. AWS Glue also enhances job scheduling and orchestration capabilities, integrating with AWS Glue Studio for comprehensive data workflow management.
Mohamed Moustafa - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers good scalability, strong stability and seamless integration
The user interface is really user-friendly and intuitive. It was a major plus. The integration process was smooth. Oracle's security is good and significantly better than that of other solutions I've encountered. Previously, we had separate data interfaces for 15 concrete mixing plants, requiring manual document creation in Oracle. Now, with integrated automation, production has become much easier and more efficient over the past three years.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is AWS-integrated. There is end-to-end integration with the other AWS services. It is also user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature for me is the visual interface of AWS Glue."
"The solution is highly user-friendly, and its features are easy to use. The new addition of AWS Glue Data Catalog is also very beneficial, making the tool even more helpful for its users."
"One of the best features of the solution is its ability to easily integrate with other AWS services."
"If I'm working with big data, common languages like Python work quite nicely, which is advantageous."
"AWS Glue is quite better than other tools, but you have to learn it properly before you start using it."
"It's very good to manage."
"The best thing about AWS Glue is its scalability and how easy it is to process a large amount of data."
"The user interface is really user-friendly and intuitive."
"This solution can maintain a large volume of data and is flexible to what data it can handle. The performance is very good."
 

Cons

"The drawbacks associated with the product stem from the fact that, based on the data volume, it can become very costly."
"If there's a cluster-related configuration, we have to make worker notes, which is quite a headache when processing a large amount of data."
"Overall, I consider the technical support to be fine, although the response time could be faster in certain cases."
"AWS Glue should be more reliable and faster in processing. Enhancing the speed of data processing would be beneficial."
"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 price of the solution could improve."
"I haven't looked into Glue in terms of seeking out flaws. I've not come across missing features."
"While working on AWS Glue, I could not find any training material for it."
"The solution could improve by adding more advanced features."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"I rate the tool's pricing a four out of ten."
"It is not expensive. AWS Glue works on the serverless architecture. We get charged for the time the server is up. For our use case, we have to use it once in a day, and it is not expensive for us."
"AWS Glue uses a pay-as-you-go approach which is helpful. The price of the overall solution is low and is a great advantage."
"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 pricing an eight out of ten."
"If you are using the solution for an enterprise business, it will be expensive."
"Technical support is a paid service, and which subscription you have is dependent on that. You must pay one of them, and it ranges from $15,000 to $25,000 per year."
