Provides serverless mechanism, easy data transformation and automated infrastructure management
I had the source data, which was unstructured and non-fixable, and my responsibility was to convert it into structured data. For this task, I used PySpark as the programming language. With Python, I implemented the creation of a data frame using Glue jobs. Since Glue jobs are a serverless…

Performs real-time replication without data loss, but we cannot do much automation
The setup with the classic GoldenGate architecture was easy. Oracle has now moved to Microservices Architecture. It is a real pain. There are a lot of new things we have to learn. I rate the ease of setup of the classic architecture a seven out of ten. For Microservices, I rate the ease of setup a three out of ten. The deployment takes a couple of hours. We need one system administrator to deploy the tool. We need to maintain the tool. We are a team of four people. We need at least three people for maintenance. The time taken for maintenance depends on how big the environment is. We spend a lot of time on maintenance because our environment is big.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of AWS Glue is its ease of use and good documentation. Additionally, we can do all the transformations that we need."
"The solution is serverless so it allows us to transform data while optimizing the cost and performance of Spark jobs."
"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 quite better than other tools, but you have to learn it properly before you start using it."
"AWS Glue is a good solution for developers, they have the ability to write code in different languages and other software."
"Transformations are valuable because you can modify or override complex data logic from an open source or Spark to solve issues."
"It is a stable and scalable solution."
"I like its integration and ability to handle all data-related tasks."
"GoldenGate can connect and collect data from multiple sources, such as SQL Server."
"They've recently improved the ease of implementation."
"It scales well. You can either have it working in with the databases, or you can move it outside. It's got the ability to parallelize up, so you can certainly extract and replay the data from your databases in parallel. So it does have horizontal scalability. That is probably one of its stronger features, the ability just to automatically parallelize the replay and playing of data to allow to scale to large volumes."
"It allows us to migrate from one system to another, from one server to another, with no downtime, no outage. We can get the data synchronized with multiple databases and then switch the connectivity across to the new servers."
"One feature that stands out for me is the data center capability."
"You can use Oracle GoldenGate as a DR for your system."
"Since the world is going towards open source, the solution's heterogeneous data migration feature is very useful."
"This solution provides us with real-time replication and it does not affect the performance of other operations, which is very important to us."
 

Cons

"The product is expensive for data streaming. This area needs improvement."
"The setup and installation is a bit complex without advanced knowledge or training."
"There is a learning curve to this tool."
"Overall, I consider the technical support to be fine, although the response time could be faster in certain cases."
"The price of the solution could improve."
"The product has only a few built-in transformations."
"AWS Glue should be more reliable and faster in processing. Enhancing the speed of data processing would be beneficial."
"There should be more connectors for different databases."
"There are a lot of bugs in the solution."
"You cannot put everything in Golden Gate for the license and large models."
"The solution sometimes has issues with long transactions and replication delays. Its pricing needs improvement."
"The tool's connections are disconnected at times. The tool needs to integrate other databases."
"The solution, in general, should be easier to use, with less need to perform workarounds within the system."
"The GoldenGate license is very costly."
"The solution's licensing price is very expensive and could be made more competitive."
"We struggle with memory. It's limited. However, it may be because of our unique business case and how we use it that it's limiting for us."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate pricing an eight out of ten."
"AWS Glue is quite costly, especially for small organizations."
"It is an expensive product. I rate its pricing a nine out of ten."
"The solution's pricing is based on DPUs so it is a good idea to optimize use or it can get expensive."
"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."
"This solution is affordable and there is an option to pay for the solution based on your usage."
"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."
"The current cost is around forty to fifty thousand a month."
"The solution would be costly for a small organization."
"The price is high. Consequently, when clients or customers acquire the solution, they tend to utilize it to its maximum extent due to this factor."
"The price of Oracle GoldenGate should be lowered. It is expensive compared to other solutions."
"The price of this solution is good."
"The tool needs to improve its pricing."
"It is an expensive product."
"We do like the price of this solution."
"Pricing is based on anual licensing with additional costs for support packages."
