## Reviews

### "Powerful ETL tool in AWS" — 4.0/5

> **Haniel** | *March 24, 2022* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It is an ETL tool in AWS that you can use for moving the data between different databases and services like S3, data archiving, and transformation. It has got an inbuilt spark code editor where you can write your own customized code.
> 
> **Cons**: It gets complicated very quickly and the whole process of using this tool for complex tasks requires immense effort and time. In terms of pricing, it can get expensive based on the performance you are expecting. Debugging the issues that are related to permissions while using this service is a nightmare and you end up giving full permissions.

-----

### "Seamless Data Integration Tool" — 5.0/5

> **Mia** | *July 30, 2024* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I appreciate its ability to effortlessly integrate various data sources. I used it to transform and move data from S3 to Redshift without any hassle.
> 
> **Cons**: The initial setup can be quite complex. It took me a while to configure all the necessary permissions for data integration.

### "Powerful, but complex" — 3.0/5

> **David** | *April 10, 2022* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: AWS Glue offers a lot of functionality and fits in well with other AWS products. In our case, we wanted to migrate data from a bunch of different AWS RDS databases and products to a data warehouse. AWS DMS got us only so far, whereas Glue looked like it would help us take deltas in S3 buckets and merge them together and transform them. So, in that regard, it's great as an all-in-AWS solution that can work with AWS S3, DMS, QuickSight, IAM, etc.
> 
> **Cons**: It's not easy to set up or debug. In fact, you'll end up scratching your head many times as you try and work out why things aren't working. You need to really look at it hard and implement logging if you're going to work it out. However, frustratingly, only a small amount of its power is available within the GUI. For instance, you can do parquet file formats in the GUI and need to use JSON or the CLI.
> 
> We ultimately found AWS Glue quite complex to achieve the things we wanted, and ended up switching to a different product.

### "The Complete ETL Service" — 4.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *March 15, 2023* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: A good thing about it is that you don't have to worry about managing the servers, scaling or anything related to the infrastructure.
> 
> **Cons**: The good thing can sometimes be bad too, AWS Glue provides pre-built templates, there are limits to the customization that can be done.

### "Execute python code more efficiently using Glue \!" — 5.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *February 22, 2023* | Telecommunications | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The AWS glue give you the power to integrate/migrate any data sources and build the semantic layer for reporting and other data analytical purposes . The crawler of Glue works brilliantly well to scan the source files to perform initial validations to move the data across the next stage .
> 
> **Cons**: The scheduler of the glue could have been better , Since its currently misses out in lot of features . Even the job dependencies cannot be set at present .
> 
> The entire ETL jobs written in python are currently scheduled in Glue with the s3 trigger attached , I should say it works so seamlessly \!
