AWS Lake Formation Reviews & Product Details

AWS Lake Formation provides a hassle-free data lake service, which helps users to keep all types of data in one data lake in an original or prepared-for-analysis format. This reduces planning time development time and lets users quickly perform ad-hoc reporting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

AWS Lake Formation lacks an integration facility with tools outside the AWS environment. It also requires good knowledge of AWS glue, which requires an expert and is very difficult for non-technical users. AWS Athena and Redshift users can only access those tables and databases of AWS Lake Formation on which AWS glue has permission, which is a bottleneck in itself.

What I like best about AWS Lake Formation is how it simplifies data lake setup, governance, and access control across AWS and analytics services. It helps centralize permissions and reduces the complexity of managing large-scale data lake environments very easily. The centralized governance model is really good for managing access more consistently from a single layer, which is much better than configuring permissions separately across multiple analytics services.

Yeah. Understanding permission model then, account access configurations can sometimes be complicated, especially in large enterprise environments. Troubleshooting access-related issues may also require navigating multiple AWS services and policies. It is not easy. Basic setup is manageable, but designing scalable governance models and fine-grained access controls requires experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
