Provides serverless mechanism, easy data transformation and automated infrastructure management
We no longer had to worry much about infrastructure management because AWS Glue is serverless, and Amazon takes care of the underlying infrastructure. This allowed us to focus on the code and application logic without concerns about scaling, CPU management, or handling fluctuations in flow. The serverless nature of Glue jobs relieved us from these infrastructure-related worries.

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 quite better than other tools, but you have to learn it properly before you start using it."
"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."
"It is a very scalable solution."
"The solution integrates well with other AWS products or services."
"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 is a good solution for developers, they have the ability to write code in different languages and other software."
"I also like that you can add custom libraries like JAR files and use them. So, the ability to use a fast processing engine and embed basic jobs easily are significant advantages."
"The two features I find most valuable in AWS Glue are its user interface and ease of use."
"It is very easy to build integrations and processes to pull and push data."
"It is a scalable solution."
"Integrity, ease of use, user-friendly user interface, and errorless logs are the most valuable features."
"Easy integration with Salesforce"
"Jitterbit provides the ability to quickly map data between files and databases."
"We only use small parts of the solution, however, the parts that we use are quite adequate."
"The Cloud Console for monitoring and troubleshooting data operations."
"The fluid user interface (probably the most user friendly interface, when compared to its competitors)."
 

Cons

"The solution should offer features for streaming data in addition to batching data."
"It is not clear how the partition discovery would have been affected by more data coming in."
"The technical support for this solution could be improved. In future, we would like to connect more services like Athena or Kinesis to help control more loads of data."
"Overall, I consider the technical support to be fine, although the response time could be faster in certain cases."
"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."
"Currently, it supports only two languages in the background: Python and Scala. From our customization point of view, it would be helpful if it can also support Java in the background."
"There should be more connectors for different databases."
"AWS Glue is more costly compared to other tools like Airflow."
"Sometimes we experience disconnections and I have to close all Jitterbit programs."
"Sometimes additional connectors are needed."
"In the past few months, there have been some server downtimes during work hours that have affected some critical scheduled integrations."
"I know with Salesforce updating the UI like they did, it slowed it down a lot."
"You need to have some development skills or hire a Jitterbit engineer to make changes."
"Looping through complex data structures can be difficult."
"Its API management capabilities need improvement."
"There were some bugs in the product. For example if you run a delete query and test, it deletes the actual data."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 tool's pricing a four 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."
"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."
"If you are using the solution for an enterprise business, it will be expensive."
"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."
"AWS Glue is quite costly, especially for small organizations."
"The solution's cost is mid-ranged compared to other vendors."
"I do believe Jitterbit has one of the better pricing and licensing options out there compared to its competitors."
"Jitterbit was extremely cost effective for us compared to other options."
"The added bonus is that Jitterbit doesn't charge for any data volume/traffic."
"The Jitterbit price is based upon endpoints. They also offer ERP connectors with their Enterprise edition"
"Each business needs to determine if it is a mission critical aspect."
