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.

Provides users with an initial setup phase, which is fairly simple to manage
I don't know what could be improved in terms of what my company was used to previously or after moving over to Rivery. I have not had much experience with platforms other than Rivery. For me, Rivalry was a way to step up from what we used. To be honest, I am not really sure what improvements could be made in Rivery. Pricing is a little steep for smaller organizations, I would say. The product's pricing model could be a little bit better. I am not aware if there are additional packages for smaller organizations, but if there are no packages available, then maybe that would be a good way to introduce something new in the tool.

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 stable and reliable."
"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 most valuable feature of AWS Glue is that it provides a GUI format with a drag-and-drop feature."
"If I'm working with big data, common languages like Python work quite nicely, which is advantageous."
"AWS Glue has reduced efforts by 60%, which is the main benefit."
"Its user interface is quite good. You just need to choose some options to create a job in AWS Glue. The code-generation feature is also useful. If you don't want to customize it and simply want to read a file and store the data in the database, it can generate the code for you."
"We have found it beneficial when moving data from one source to another."
"AWS Glue is quite better than other tools, but you have to learn it properly before you start using it."
"Connects to many APIs in the market and new ones are being added all the time."
"The solution's most valuable features are that it is quick to connect and simple to use."
 

Cons

"There could be an enhanced way of managing pure metadata management or data cataloging."
"On occasion, the solution's dashboard reports that a project failed due to runtime but it actually succeeded."
"There is a learning curve to this tool."
"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."
"The drawbacks associated with the product stem from the fact that, based on the data volume, it can become very costly."
"Beginners need additional support as it currently lacks some features required for complex transformations, often necessitating custom Python coding."
"I have encountered challenges with multi-region support."
"The point for improvement in AWS Glue would be the dynamic allocation of resources while utilizing Lambda functions."
"Pricing is a little steep for smaller organizations, I would say. The product's pricing model could be a little bit better."
"Lineage and an impact analysis or logic dependency are lacking."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This solution is affordable and there is an option to pay for the solution based on your usage."
"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."
"I rate the tool an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is expensive, and ten is 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."
"If you are using the solution for an enterprise business, it will be expensive."
"The current cost is around forty to fifty thousand a month."
"AWS Glue is quite costly, especially for small organizations."
"I rate the tool's price as six out of ten if I consider the lowest price to be one and the highest price to be ten."
