Avinash Gangu - PeerSpot reviewer
Centralizing database tables enhances workflow efficiency for ease of use
I was looking for some content as part of a comparison analysis. However, one of the pain points is that it is way too free-flowing. I have to skim through all the security pages to get to the crux of it. I was looking for a table that suggests which facets such services address with proofs of reference from professional conferences. The document is a 63-page read, making it very difficult to navigate without a summary. I was looking for a summary at the start, however, if I have to do it myself, I might as well integrate from AWS Docs and then Informative Exchange. The current document contains a lot of information, which is great, but there needs to be a summary indicating the story's essence. Unless there's a correction, it is not present in the document.
Rama Subba Reddy Thavva - PeerSpot reviewer
A low-code/no-code platform with a user-friendly UI
We couldn't implement or use some of the latest functionalities, like Spark. Palantir Foundry is scalable, but it is costly compared to other cloud providers. The solution is more suitable for small and medium businesses. It might be difficult for large enterprises. I rate the solution’s scalability a seven out of ten.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"AWS Database Migration Service is affordable and cheaper."
"Even if it does break down, it will automatically recover itself and resumes from where it stopped."
"If your infrastructure is already on Amazon, it simply makes the most sense to use a tool officially provided by them as an additional service, rather than having to rely on a third-party solution."
"The tools are very user-friendly."
"DMS's architecture is highly beneficial, allowing for scalable migrations of large datasets."
"The initial setup is simple. Not that much complex."
"Support is helpful."
"AWS Database Migration Service is good for smaller workloads and provides compatibility."
"The ease of use is my favorite feature. We're able to build different models and projects or combine different projects to build one use case."
"The security is also excellent. It's highly granular, so the admins have a high degree of control, and there are many levels of security. That worked well. You won't have an EDC unless you put everything onto the platform because it is its own isolated thing."
"The interface is really user-friendly."
"It's scalable."
"Great features available in one tool."
"Live video sessions enhance the available documentation and allow you to ask questions directly."
"Palantir Foundry is a robust platform that has really strong plugin connectors and provides features for real-time integration."
"I like the data onboarding to Palantir Foundry and ETL creation."
 

Cons

"It would be helpful if the bandwidth could be independent of the network or if we could have a dedicated bandwidth for this product."
"I was looking for a table that suggests which facets such services address with proofs of reference from professional conferences. The document is a 63 page read, making it very difficult to navigate without a summary."
"Whatever solution worked today can not be reused in the next migration."
"The names of the services need improvement since AWS doesn't indicate what the function of the product is presently. You need to read a lot to find the service that you want in the product."
"I think that Amazon needs to improve the migration scenarios after analytics"
"Sometimes we encounter errors, and the error messages from DMS are very ambiguous and sometimes misleading."
"I was looking for a table that suggests which facets such services address with proofs of reference from professional conferences."
"The performance of data migration could be smoother."
"Cost of this solution is quite high."
"Difficult to receive data from external sources."
"It would be helpful to build applications based on Azure functions or web apps in Palantir Foundry."
"Some error messages can be very cryptic."
"The workflow could be improved."
"It requires a lot of manual work and is very time-consuming to get to a functional point."
"The frontend capabilities of Palantir Foundry could be improved."
"The solution’s data security could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"For Egypt, the product's prices are high, making it a specific problem in one region and not globally."
