"The most valuable feature of AWS Glue is that it provides a GUI format with a drag-and-drop feature."

"The most valuable features are easy integration, quick tab to develop, quick tab to market, and interactive integration platform."
"It is very easy to use. It takes complex workloads away, and it provides very smooth integration. It has got a lot of out-of-the-box connectors. It has got a lot of out-of-the-box APIs, which makes it really easy to integrate with applications for different use cases, whether it is in finance, HR, or customer operations. It is by far our favorite integration product."

"There should be more connectors for different databases."
"I have encountered challenges with multi-region support."
"Currently, it supports only two languages in the background: Python and Scala. From our customization point of view, it would be helpful if it can also support Java in the background."
"The monitoring is not that good."
"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."
"A limitation is that their cloud presence is only in North America and Europe."

"It is tedious to make a tailor-fit function."
"From the deployment point of view, our customers encounter platform downtime where it does not serve the actual request on the systems."
"The management dashboard in the solution is an area with shortcomings that needs improvement."
