A cloud solution for live replication but has stability issues
We have Kafka, Informatica, and Snowflake in our data pipeline. Sometimes, it's just a PySpark application running from Hadoop clusters or similar setups. Using a JDBC connection, this application connects to the source database, such as Oracle or another source. We switched to AWS because it offers better infrastructure maintainability. Another advantage is that it utilizes behind-the-scenes MPP processing, providing all the benefits of a Spark application. So, to add or remove tables from the ingestion process, you make changes in the AWS console, and the PySpark application automatically adapts. With PieSpot, we had to maintain the infrastructure and manually deploy code updates. This involved several additional steps.

Transparent with good reliability and good data visibility
The initial setup had a medium level of difficulty. If we go through the documentation, we can learn about what to do. In Palantir, they had a section called Academy, and that Academy was quite useful. If you go through that as a new user, it makes the process easier as you learn what to do. Initially, we didn't have many sources that would help us learn things, so we struggled a bit. In contrast, with Azure and Amazon Cloud, you have many sources from where you would be easily able to learn. You could just Google what you needed with them, as there's so much available documentation online. What was easy was the fact that everything was in one place. With AWS Cloud, there are many applications to support. You can use Glue or Athena, and you have all these other applications. However, with Palantir, everything is easy due to the fact that it is centralized. It's drag and drop and everything is very transparent.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This solution is very good at mini-batch processing."
"The Schema Conversion Tool helps to covert the convertible objects and define the non-convertible objects"
"The initial setup is simple. Not that much complex."
"The product is cheaper than all platforms"
"As the solution is on the cloud, we don't have to worry about the maintenance of software."
"The most valuable features of the AWS Database Migration Service are the ease of migration, beneficial storage system, security, and simple instance creation. Additionally, the cloud that is provided is more complete than other solutions."
"The product's initial setup phase was very easy."
"The tools are very user-friendly."
"The data lineage is great."
"Live video sessions enhance the available documentation and allow you to ask questions directly."
"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."
"The solution provides an end-to-end integrated tech stack that takes care of all utility/infrastructure topics for you."
"The virtualization tool is useful."
"The solution offers very good end-to-end capabilities."
"The AI engine that comes with Palantir Foundry is quite interesting."
 

Cons

"We would like to see some improvement in the performance of large scale procedures, such as when we migrate from Oracle to csSQL."
"This solution can offer more tweaks where the latency can be brought down to fifteen seconds."
"The solution’s scalability and performance could be improved."
"The product's performance could be a little bit better."
"One area that AWS DMS can improve on is its conversion of data types. For example, in Oracle, you have a data type called RAW, but in PostgreSQL there is no such thing. Thus, AWS DMS doesn't know what type I want to use when migrating from Oracle to PostgreSQL, and when performing the migration, AWS DMS changed the RAW data type to the byte data type, which isn't what I wanted."
"It would be helpful if the bandwidth could be independent of the network or if we could have a dedicated bandwidth for this product."
"What needs improvement in AWS Database Migration Service is that it lacks a log file validation feature. If the solution could provide more details about a particular transaction, that would be helpful. The stability of AWS Database Migration Service for online CDC records also needs to be improved."
"The performance of data migration could be smoother."
"Cost of this solution is quite high."
"The frontend capabilities of Palantir Foundry could be improved."
"The solution could use more online documentation for new users."
"Some error messages can be very cryptic."
"The data lineage was challenging. It's hard to track data from the sources as it moves through stages. Informatica EDC can easily capture and report it because it talks to the metadata. This is generated across those various staging points."
"There is not a wide user base for the solution's online documentation so it is sometimes difficult to find answers."
"Difficult to receive data from external sources."
"The workflow could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"AWS Database Migration Service is very inexpensive."
"The pricing can be better and it should be more competitive."
"For Egypt, the product's prices are high, making it a specific problem in one region and not globally."
"The product is pretty expensive"
"AWS Database Migration Service is the least expensive solution, but is still expensive."
"Pricing for the solution is reasonable, but could still be reduced."
"The pricing is on the higher side."
"Pricing can be improved."
"Palantir Foundry has different pricing models that can be negotiated."
"The solution’s pricing is high."
"It's expensive."
