Data Pipeline integrates really well with EMR, and it's easy to deploy pipelines via cloudformation making automation possible. We use it to manage complex map-reduce workflows and it usually works pretty smoothly.

I like that this is serverless. So we need not to worry about infra and we can run write the code to process huge amount of data within no time.

AWS Glue is not user friendly,the transformation components that we have are not useful in different scenarios and we need to use custom transformation for everything,including even very basic operations.
