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.

Real-time integration and seamless data synchronization enhance user experience
The stability of Oracle GoldenGate Cloud Service is one of its most useful features, although its performance is not too steady. It excels with bidirectional data synchronization. It supports diverse databases and platforms. We link the ODS with numerous source systems, including Oracle, Tarek Data, and Microsoft, with no integration issues. The solution caters to enterprise needs, fitting any organizational requirement, apart from data security issues common to cloud solutions. The cloud data security challenge is notable, necessitating solutions such as private cloud offerings to allay security concerns.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The key role for Glue is that it hosts our metadata before rolling out our actual data. This is the major advantage of using this solution and our clients client have been very satisfied with it."
"AWS Glue's most valuable features are the data catalog, including crawlers and tables, and Glue Studio, which means you don't have to use custom code."
"The most valuable feature of AWS Glue is scalability."
"AWS Glue is a highly stable solution."
"It is a stable and scalable solution."
"Its ease of use, cost-effectiveness, and highly secure architecture are some of the most valuable features."
"We are seeing a very good return on our investment."
"AWS Glue's best features are scalability and cloud-based features."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"It provides a good response for external microservices applications."
"Oracle GoldenGate Cloud Service is valued for its ability to replicate data in real-time, offering significant benefits from a data perspective."
"This has significantly eased the process of migration from on-premise to cloud, as instead of configuring everything from the ground up, the Oracle GoldenGate Cloud Service has made it seamless to build and render databases in cloud."
"We are heavily involved with GitHub for managing repositories, automatic deployments, and inner source projects."
"GoldenGate is a good solution to implement in terms of scalability and flexibility."
"GoldenGate's best features are the desktop security features."
"GoldenGate can aggregate various data types from different sources."
 

Cons

"I have encountered challenges with multi-region support."
"The price of the solution could improve."
"It needs improvements in terms of Java support and the turnaround time for our problems."
"In terms of performance, if they can further optimize the execution time for serverless jobs, it would be a welcome improvement."
"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 could be cheaper. The price of the solution is an area that needs improvement."
"It would be better if it were more user-friendly."
"The process of entering environment variables in AWS Glue requires navigating to a different page, which could be streamlined."
"Pricing is rather expensive. Oracle typically prices on the higher side, and there is scope for them to reconsider the price, especially since it is a cloud service."
"Support could be improved. They lack knowledge."
"Oracle is always adding new features. I can't think of anything that's urgent currently."
"The initial setup was a little complex, and we required support from Oracle to complete it."
"Oracle GoldenGate Cloud Service lacks AI. If AI gets introduced in Oracle GoldenGate Cloud Service, it would be much easier to do analysis."
"With Oracle GoldenGate Cloud Service, we have usual cloud solution issues such as privacy and data security."
"I am not very happy with Oracle Support. Over the past four to five years, I have experienced many problems when opening support requests."
"More technical documentation is needed, especially in terms of mapping and conversion of data, while integration would also be very helpful."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The current cost is around forty to fifty thousand a month."
"AWS Glue is a high-priced solution that bills the client $150,000 to $250,000 annually."
"I rate the tool an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is expensive, and ten is expensive."
"It is an expensive product. I rate its pricing a nine out of ten."
"AWS Glue is quite costly, especially for small organizations."
"The solution's pricing is based on DPUs so it is a good idea to optimize use or it can get expensive."
"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."
"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 the product price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
