Find out what your peers are saying about Amazon, MuleSoft, Matillion and others in Cloud Data Integration."Support for multiple data sources and formats is a fantastic feature."
"I appreciate AWS Glue for its cost-effectiveness."
"The most valuable features currently are glue studio, jobs, and triggers."
"We have found it beneficial when moving data from one source to another."
"I also like that you can add custom libraries like JAR files and use them. So, the ability to use a fast processing engine and embed basic jobs easily are significant advantages."
"It's fairly straightforward as a product; it's not very complicated."
"The solution's technical support is good. Whenever we raise a use case where we face an issue in our company, we get a response from the solution's technical team."
"The product has a valuable feature for data catalog."
"I like its integration and ability to handle all data-related tasks."
"Moving to other clouds is impossible without significantly rearchitecting your applications."
"The mapping area and the use of the data catalog from Glue could be better."
"The solution should offer features for streaming data in addition to batching data."
"The monitoring is not that good."
"AWS Glue would be improved by making it easier to switch from single to multi-cloud."
"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."
"Cost-wise, AWS Glue is expensive, so that's an area for improvement. The process for setting up the solution was also complex, which is another area for improvement."
"The crucial problem with AWS Glue is that it only works with AWS. It is not an agnostic tool like Pentaho. In PowerCenter, we can install the forms from Google and other vendors, but in the case of AWS Glue, we can only use AWS."
"It is not clear how the partition discovery would have been affected by more data coming in."
