We performed a comparison between AWS Glue and Oracle GoldenGate based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud Data Integration solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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."
"Glue is a NoSQL-based data ETL tool that has some advantages over IIS and ISAs."
"The facility to integrate with S3 and the possibility to use Jupyter Notebook inside the pipeline are the most valuable features."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"Data catalog and triggers are the two best features for me. AWS Glue has its own data catalog, which makes it great and really easy to use. Triggers are also really good for scheduling the ETL process."
"We no longer had to worry much about infrastructure management because AWS Glue is serverless, and Amazon takes care of the underlying infrastructure."
"AWS Glue is quite better than other tools, but you have to learn it properly before you start using it."
"The most valuable feature of AWS Glue is that it provides a GUI format with a drag-and-drop feature."
"Data migration is the most valuable feature of Oracle GoldenGate."
"We use the tool to pull on-prem data."
"You can put data together from a few databases into one database or the other way, from one database into several. It transforms data in real-time."
"We can replicate data across different data centers and different technologies."
"Since the world is going towards open source, the solution's heterogeneous data migration feature is very useful."
"One feature that stands out for me is the data center capability."
"With Oracle GoldenGate, you can easily sync the tables and put them into the ODS database."
"The product is reliable for data integrity."
"Only people who can code, either in Java or Python, can use the product freely. Those who don't know Java or Python might find using AWS Glue difficult."
"On occasion, the solution's dashboard reports that a project failed due to runtime but it actually succeeded."
"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."
"Glue could perform better. It sometimes takes too long to test a Glue job. Google Cloud Platform offers more Python scripts than AWS."
"The interface for AWS Glue could improve, they do not put a lot of details. You can write the code, in PySpark or in Scala, which is a big advantage, it is only easy to use for a developer. It will be difficult for new users to enter the cloud environment."
"The solution’s stability could be improved."
"I have encountered challenges with multi-region support."
"Overall, I consider the technical support to be fine, although the response time could be faster in certain cases."
"In some cases, expectations were not met, especially when specific tables were expected to be disabled, and changes were anticipated in the target environment. We had to take backups from the source and refresh the address to address this."
"Regarding improvements, the focus should be on addressing data quality issues and minimizing delays, particularly in Oracle databases. The technical support should be improved as well. Additionally, in terms of features, it would be great if the solution could support APIs. The support is not friendly. They don’t respond on time."
"Additional performance metrics should be added and visible in a dashboard, displayed in a detailed manner."
"Microservices Architecture is not user-friendly."
"It would be great if Oracle added some enhanced features or more functionalities to Oracle GoldenGate."
"The product lacks some features and it's expensive."
"You cannot put everything in Golden Gate for the license and large models."
"It would be better for Oracle Golden Gate Studio GUI to include other licensed products (i.e. Veridata or others)."
