The solution improves ETL performance but faces challenges with version upgrades
For ETL, I feel the performance is excellent. If I create jobs in a standard way, the performance is great, and maintenance is also seamless. It is serverless, so I do not need to worry about other integrations. It runs on a serverless VM. Glue services from AWS are regularly upgraded with new properties and functions. We use PySpark and other frameworks, which help customize our ETL process in a standard way. During our process, we utilized the typical SQL ITIL process standard in Glue-oriented ETL services, which helped us improve performance and time. AWS running time, mostly during the morning, saved us time compared to the old ETL method. There are many email notifications once a job is successful or fails, and we get notifications using SES or AWS's Simple Notification Service. Glue is integrated with both email alerts, and we are responsible for managing the full data journey from end to end.

Real-time integration and seamless data synchronization enhance user experience
The stability of Oracle GoldenGate Cloud Service is one of its most useful features, although its performance is not too steady. It excels with bidirectional data synchronization. It supports diverse databases and platforms. We link the ODS with numerous source systems, including Oracle, Tarek Data, and Microsoft, with no integration issues. The solution caters to enterprise needs, fitting any organizational requirement, apart from data security issues common to cloud solutions. The cloud data security challenge is notable, necessitating solutions such as private cloud offerings to allay security concerns.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Transformations are valuable because you can modify or override complex data logic from an open source or Spark to solve issues."
"We have found it beneficial when moving data from one source to another."
"The best thing about AWS Glue is its scalability and how easy it is to process a large amount of data."
"The solution helps organizations gain flexibility in defining the structure of the data."
"It's very good to manage."
"It is AWS-integrated, there is end-to-end integration with the other AWS services, and it is also user-friendly."
"In my opinion, it is one of the best tools in the market for ETL processes because of the fact that you pay as you use, which separates it from other big tools such as PowerCenter, Pentaho Data Integration, and Talend."
"The two features I find most valuable in AWS Glue are its user interface and ease of use."
"Oracle Database generally guarantees a good response for customer use cases."
"Oracle GoldenGate Cloud Service is valued for its ability to replicate data in real-time, offering significant benefits from a data perspective."
"GoldenGate can aggregate various data types from different sources."
"GoldenGate's best features are the desktop security features."
"GoldenGate is a good solution to implement in terms of scalability and flexibility."
"We are heavily involved with GitHub for managing repositories, automatic deployments, and inner source projects."
"The stability of Oracle GoldenGate Cloud Service is one of its most useful features, although its performance is not too steady; it excels with bidirectional data synchronization and supports diverse databases and platforms."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
 

Cons

"The overall cost of AWS Glue could be better. It cost approximately $1,000 a month."
"When comparing to tools such as Airflow, Glue workflows are still relatively basic in terms of flexibility and complex branching."
"One area that could be improved is the ETL view. The drag-and-drop interface is not as user-friendly as some other ETL tools."
"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 monitoring is not that good. We'd like to see job progress be more clear."
"AWS Glue should be more reliable and faster in processing. Enhancing the speed of data processing would be beneficial."
"The process of entering environment variables in AWS Glue requires navigating to a different page, which could be streamlined."
"The solution’s stability could be improved."
"With Oracle GoldenGate Cloud Service, we have usual cloud solution issues such as privacy and data security."
"Oracle GoldenGate Cloud Service lacks AI. If AI gets introduced in Oracle GoldenGate Cloud Service, it would be much easier to do analysis."
"More technical documentation is needed, especially in terms of mapping and conversion of data, while integration would also be very helpful."
"The initial setup was a little complex, and we required support from Oracle to complete it."
"Support could be improved. They lack knowledge."
"I am not very happy with Oracle Support. Over the past four to five years, I have experienced many problems when opening support requests."
"Pricing is rather expensive. Oracle typically prices on the higher side, and there is scope for them to reconsider the price, especially since it is a cloud service."
"Oracle is always adding new features. I can't think of anything that's urgent currently."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The current cost is around forty to fifty thousand a month."
"AWS Glue is a high-priced solution that bills the client $150,000 to $250,000 annually."
"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."
"This solution is affordable and there is an option to pay for the solution based on your usage."
"I rate the tool's pricing a four out of ten."
"If you are using the solution for an enterprise business, it will be expensive."
"I rate the product's pricing a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is a high price, and ten is a low price."
"The overall cost of AWS Glue could be better. It cost approximately $1,000 a month. There is paid support available from AWS Glue."
"I rate the product price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
