"I like its integration and ability to handle all data-related tasks."
"The product has a valuable feature for data catalog."

"I haven't looked into Glue in terms of seeking out flaws. I've not come across missing features."
"AWS Glue would be improved by making it easier to switch from single to multi-cloud."

"They need a more robust support center. It has been a bit difficult to find solutions to problems that are out-of-the-box."
"Technical support isn't the best."
"Jobs cannot be deleted via the deployment package. When deploying from dev to QA or production, a job has to be retired. The job has to be manually removed from the target environment."
"The scheduled jobs which are run by the WhereScape scheduler seem to be a strangely separate animal. Unlike all other WhereScape objects, jobs cannot be added to WhereScape projects. Also, unlike all other objects, jobs also cannot be deleted using a WhereScape deployment application."
