Two of us are sufficient for the solution’s maintenance. The solution is easy to set up and starts with a lot of standard data analytical use cases where we extract data. If you want something customizable, then look at other solutions because cost might be a factor for more advanced solutions. Overall, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.

I would recommend that new users refer to the AWS documentation. The documentation is very well-written and easy to understand. Even new users with no prior experience with AWS should be able to get up and running quickly. I would also recommend that new users learn Python. Overall, I would rate the solution a nine out of ten.

Based on the customer scenario, I have previously recommended AWS Glue. Sometimes, customers directly request either Azure RapidAPI or AWS Glue. It depends on the specific business use case. Both tools have limitations, so it's hard to say which is best. If a customer already uses Microsoft products, I suggest going with Azure. As for a general rating, I would give AWS Glue a seven out of ten. Overall, I would rate AWS Glue a seven out of ten because it's not about performance. It's because of how the tool is used.

I'm using the latest version of AWS Glue. I'm not the end-user, as I work for a company that implements AWS Glue for clients. My company has one client using AWS Glue, but that client has three hundred million users. I recommend AWS Glue to others because it's an excellent solution. However, it lacks documentation. There's only a little documentation available. Even certified AWS practitioners struggle with the lack of documentation for AWS Glue. You'll find complicated processes or features, such as time series tables. Even if there's documentation, implementing the solution requires many trial and error methods, and revamping becomes a nightmare if you're using the old infrastructure. My rating for AWS Glue is seven out of ten because of the complexity of the deployment, and the lack of information and documentation, that my company had to do some R&D. If AWS had complete documentation, or sent more than one person to assist my company, then it could have saved more time.

We are using one of the latest versions of the solution. It's about two years old. Depending on the number of data sources, the variety of data sources, and the variety of targets they will have, I might recommend the solution. What they have and plan to do will dictate whether Glue is a good solution or whether they would require something more sophisticated - such as Databricks. For example, if you have big data, then Databricks is probably a better solution to do ETL. I'd rate the solution seven out of ten.

Before you start using it, you need to know PySpark. I would rate it a nine out of ten. It is good for what we are using it for.

In that environment, there is a lot going on. There are some things that you can get for free, and there are some add-ons that you can develop or use that have been tested. It's all about convenience and service. You will get what you pay for if you pay for what you want. I'm not a fan of any tools; it all depends on the organization I work for, where their data is, what they want to do with it, how quickly they want to get there, and what their budget is, and you work around that. For me, I would not choose one over the other, unless I know the details of the project. I would rate AWS Glue a nine out of ten.

We have just recently started to use this solution. We haven't used all features properly. It is good for the features we are using. We did not find any drawbacks or limitations so far. We are already getting whatever we want from it. I would rate AWS Glue a seven out of ten. It needs improvements in terms of Java support and the turnaround time for our problems.
