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."
"The most valuable feature of AWS Glue is that it provides a GUI format with a drag-and-drop feature."
"Our entire use case was very easily handled or solved using this solution."
"It's very good to manage."
"The most valuable feature of AWS Glue is its ease of use and good documentation. Additionally, we can do all the transformations that we need."
"If I'm working with big data, common languages like Python work quite nicely, which is advantageous."
"AWS Glue's most valuable features are the data catalog, including crawlers and tables, and Glue Studio, which means you don't have to use custom code."
"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."
"Oracle Database generally guarantees a good response for customer use cases."
"GoldenGate's best features are the desktop security features."
"It provides a good response for external microservices applications."
"This has significantly eased the process of migration from on-premise to cloud, as instead of configuring everything from the ground up, the Oracle GoldenGate Cloud Service has made it seamless to build and render databases in cloud."
"GoldenGate can aggregate various data types from different sources."
"Oracle GoldenGate Cloud Service is valued for its ability to replicate data in real-time, offering significant benefits from a data perspective."
"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."
 

Cons

"It is not clear how the partition discovery would have been affected by more data coming in."
"AWS Glue should be more reliable and faster in processing. Enhancing the speed of data processing would be beneficial."
"While working on AWS Glue, I could not find any training material for it."
"The interface for AWS Glue could improve, they do not put a lot of details."
"When there is a need to configure connections to different database sources in respect of the target, it would be good if it were easier to deal with roles."
"The solution could be cheaper. The price of the solution is an area that needs improvement."
"The solution's visual ETL tool is of no use for actual implementation."
"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."
"Oracle is always adding new features. I can't think of anything that's urgent currently."
"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 GoldenGate Cloud Service lacks AI. If AI gets introduced in Oracle GoldenGate Cloud Service, it would be much easier to do analysis."
"With Oracle GoldenGate Cloud Service, we have usual cloud solution issues such as privacy and data security."
"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."
"The initial setup was a little complex, and we required support from Oracle to complete it."
"More technical documentation is needed, especially in terms of mapping and conversion of data, while integration would also be very helpful."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"AWS Glue is a high-priced solution that bills the client $150,000 to $250,000 annually."
"It is an expensive product. I rate its pricing a nine out of ten."
"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."
"I rate the tool an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is expensive, and ten is expensive."
"AWS Glue is a paid service that doesn't come under the free trial of AWS."
"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."
"Its price is good. We pay as we go or based on the usage, which is a good thing for us because it is simple to forecast for the tool. It is good in terms of the financial planning of the company, and it is a good way to estimate the cost. It is also simple for our clients. 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."
"This solution is affordable and there is an option to pay for the solution based on your usage."
"I rate the product price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
