"I like that it's flexible, powerful, and allows you to write your own queries and scripts to get the needed transformations."
"The product has a valuable feature for data catalog."
"AWS Glue is a good solution for developers, they have the ability to write code in different languages and other software."
"The solution is serverless so it allows us to transform data while optimizing the cost and performance of Spark jobs."
"We have found it beneficial when moving data from one source to another."
"Data catalog and triggers are the two best features for me. AWS Glue has its own data catalog, which makes it great and really easy to use. Triggers are also really good for scheduling the ETL process."
"Transformations are valuable because you can modify or override complex data logic from an open source or Spark to solve issues."
"What I like best about AWS Glue is its real-time data backup feature. Last week, there was a production push, and what used to take almost ten days to send out around fifty-six thousand emails now takes only two hours."
"The initial setup was quite straightforward. The deployment took between two and three days."
"Open Studio's best features are that it's user-friendly, even for beginners, and very easy to implement."
"This is a user-friendly solution that is easy to use."
"The initial setup of the product was very easy."

"Talend can connect to multiple data sources, including relational data sources, ERP, CRM, and others."
"I didn't have many problems installing it. It seemed very straightforward to me."
"We're sold on the customization part of the solution."
"It fails to handle massive databases acquired from various sources."
"Only people who can code, either in Java or Python, can use the product freely. Those who don't know Java or Python might find using AWS Glue difficult."
"AWS Glue is more costly compared to other tools like Airflow."
"The solution could be cheaper. The price of the solution is an area that needs improvement."
"There should be more connectors for different databases."
"While working on AWS Glue, I could not find any training material for it."
"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 price of the solution could improve."
"It is not as visually appealing as some of the other tools."
"Having additional training materials, such as a video tutorial, would be an improvement."
"The security features could be improved."
"The technical support and documentation need a lot of work to come up to standard."
"There used to be many Youtube channels that offered Talend training, but now there don't seem to be any. The solution should offer more online training resources."
"As for improvement or additional features, I would like to know how to use Java in Talend and also how to use Talend in the cloud or in big data. I would prefer to have storage directly on Talend."
"The high price of the solution is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The product could be more intuitive."
