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.
Tarek Diab - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"AWS Glue is very quick to start without cold starts, unlike AWS Lambda."
"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."
"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."
"AWS Glue's best features are scalability and cloud-based features."
"AWS Glue is a good solution for developers, they have the ability to write code in different languages and other software."
"It is AWS-integrated. There is end-to-end integration with the other AWS services. It is also user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature of AWS Glue is that it provides a GUI format with a drag-and-drop feature."
"The AWS Glue Data Catalog provides metadata management and schema discovery. AWS Glue simplifies data transformation with automatic schema detection, incremental data updates, and integration with other AWS services."
"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 and supports diverse databases and platforms."
"It provides a good response for external microservices applications."
"We are heavily involved with GitHub for managing repositories, automatic deployments, and inner source projects."
"GoldenGate's best features are the desktop security features."
"Oracle GoldenGate Cloud Service is valued for its ability to replicate data in real-time, offering significant benefits from a data perspective."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"This has significantly eased the process of migration from on-premise to cloud. Instead of configuring everything from the ground up, the Oracle GoldenGate Cloud Service has made it seamless to build and render databases in cloud."
"Oracle Database generally guarantees a good response for customer use cases."
 

Cons

"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."
"I would like to see stable libraries at the moment they are not there."
"It is very difficult to learn the tool and remember the syntaxes comparatively."
"The setup and installation is a bit complex without advanced knowledge or training."
"I haven't looked into Glue in terms of seeking out flaws. I've not come across missing features."
"Beginners need additional support as it currently lacks some features required for complex transformations, often necessitating custom Python coding."
"The interface for AWS Glue could improve, they do not put a lot of details. You can write the code, in PySpark or in Scala, which is a big advantage, it is only easy to use for a developer. It will be difficult for new users to enter the cloud environment."
"In terms of performance, if they can further optimize the execution time for serverless jobs, it would be a welcome improvement."
"Over the past four to five years, I have experienced many problems when opening support requests."
"Oracle GoldenGate Cloud Service lacks AI. If AI gets introduced in Oracle GoldenGate Cloud Service, it would be much easier to do analysis."
"Oracle is always adding new features. I can't think of anything that's urgent currently."
"With Oracle GoldenGate Cloud Service, we have usual cloud solution issues such as privacy and data security."
"More technical documentation is needed, especially in terms of mapping and conversion of data, while integration would also be very helpful."
"Support could be improved. They lack knowledge."
"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."
"The initial setup was a little complex, and we required support from Oracle to complete it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the tool's pricing a four 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."
"I rate pricing an eight 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."
"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."
"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 an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is expensive, and ten is expensive."
"The current cost is around forty to fifty thousand a month."
"I rate the product price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
