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.
Divya Prakash - PeerSpot reviewer
An integration tool that is highly compatible and easy to maintain
Dealing with the large file sizes has occasionally been a challenge, though we have found workarounds. But dealing with large file sizes could be easy in integrations. I have also come across schema files where headers, footers, and bodies are there, but it's not a valid schema. None of the MSCAs are defined properly. In such cases, we have to think of multiple workarounds, such as splitting or merging. But this is a standard requirement for organizations, so custom solutions should be provided. There are cases when the systems don't expect additional MSCAs, or they expect headers, footers, or tags with different values. But this is not a proper XML. So if we are dealing with XML conversions, mapping, and integrations, we have to do some custom work. These are solutions that Oracle can provide.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"It is a stable and scalable solution."
"I like that it's flexible, powerful, and allows you to write your own queries and scripts to get the needed transformations."
"One aspect that I would like to highlight is the Glue Crawler, which we utilize when working with large datasets to ensure the schema updates seamlessly without requiring end-team knowledge."
"The solution’s most valuable feature is the ETL job."
"The best thing about AWS Glue is its scalability and how easy it is to process a large amount of data."
"Glue is a NoSQL-based data ETL tool that has some advantages over IIS and ISAs."
"The most valuable feature of AWS Glue is scalability."
"Provides various ways to secure services as well as providing extensive support."
"The lack of features in something like Oracle Integration Cloud leaves some room for leads implementation partners like us"
"The most valuable feature is the ease of customization."
"The solution is scalable."
"Oracle Integration Cloud Service offers a lot of adaptors."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The dashboard provided by Oracle Integration Cloud for monitoring and error handling is very intuitive."
 

Cons

"I haven't looked into Glue in terms of seeking out flaws. I've not come across missing features."
"The start-up time is really high right now. For instance, when you start up a new job, you have to wait for five or eight minutes before it starts. If the start-up time is reduced to one or two minutes, it will be great. It will be better to have a direct linkage to Redshift in AWS. If we can use data catalogs from Redshift, it will be so easy to create some data catalogs. Currently, we can only use data catalogs from S3."
"There should be more connectors for different databases."
"The setup and installation is a bit complex without advanced knowledge or training."
"The monitoring is not that good."
"AWS Glue is more costly compared to other tools like Airflow."
"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."
"The product has only a few built-in transformations."
"Oracle-based automation blueprints for the majority of the integrations would be helpful to have in a future release."
"In designer mode, sometimes the browser closure or other unknown issues can cause strange behavior, which requires a restart."
"The support and resources were lacking — they weren't there."
"Lacks features for more complex integrations."
"It has lengthy documentation, making the process of building applications more time-consuming."
"The solution's customer service could be better."
"Make it more similar to the on-premises features. For example, if you can edit the code directly rather than just dragging and dropping, or if you can edit the examples by going into the background, and one-click migration, I'd like to see included in the next release."
"They need to make tools framework available for implementation partners"
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the tool's pricing a four out of ten."
"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's pricing a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is a high price, and ten is a low price."
"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."
"The current cost is around forty to fifty thousand a month."
"It is not expensive. AWS Glue works on the serverless architecture. We get charged for the time the server is up. For our use case, we have to use it once in a day, and it is not expensive for us."
"The solution's pricing is based on DPUs so it is a good idea to optimize use or it can get expensive."
"AWS Glue is a high-priced solution that bills the client $150,000 to $250,000 annually."
"The solution is cost-effective."
"The price of Oracle Integration Cloud Service is good. It is reasonable and is priced well for the market segment. The model they use is on a per-package unit and we have a two-year subscription."
"It specifies how much data you use and how much storage you require, among other things."
"The price of Oracle Integration Cloud Service is reasonable to start with, but when you scale it becomes expensive."
"The price is cheaper than all other cloud integration providers."
"Its pricing is relatively lower than other vendors."
"In the case of Oracle Integration Cloud, costs can be "predictable" as far as the platform and infrastructure are concerned."
"Oracle uses a universal credit model for OCI. Clients commit to an annual budget and can choose which products to use and build during their contract period. Billing is based on consumption - you're only billed for the products you use."
