Integration with other services has improved migration efficiency

A valuable feature is the schema conversion tool, which allows me to migrate databases, for example, from Oracle to Postgres. The service is fully managed by AWS, which makes it better to use the migration services. It is beneficial to enable phased migration, and the service offers easy integration with other AWS services. The integration of AWS Application Migration Service with AWS makes it a good tool for working with AWS services.

"Live Migration's best feature is that it's free."

"The most valuable feature is the live, block-to-block replication."

"The speed and the footprint the solution uses regarding storage are great."

"It is a very simple tool to use and offers flexibility in using the tool for recovery and transitioning from one state to another."

"The solution is quite stable. We haven't experienced any kind of bug or glitch. We haven't experienced crashes."

"Continuous replication with lower RTO and RPO is the most innovative feature. Its tight integration with VMware for VMware VMs is also valuable."

"The speed and the footprint the solution uses regarding storage are great."

Cons

"One drawback to using CloudEndure is that the default is to give one small, lightweight server, which is created in the cloud."

"There are some features in the Migration Factory that could be integrated directly into AWS Application Migration Service."

"We would like to have a disaster recovery feature included in this solution."

"I think it is important to have more logs, and more details would be great because we have just logged on the client's side, but there weren't many details on the cloud."

"I do not see any improvements required for the CloudEndure."

"Live Migration has some issues with target setups."

"The schema conversion is not included in the document management services itself. Complex formations require additional steps."

"The solution could improve by being more easier to use. However, once you have used it for a while it becomes easier. Additionally, there could be better support and compatibility with management by having a command-line interface. This would be beneficial for the customers."

"It can have better integration. It would be good if, in addition to VMware VM, it can also support other hypervisors. I also want to see support for Oracle databases. As of now, it supports only SQL and Exchange. It would be good to also support other databases."

"Although we can change the IP address, it would be good to have some other sort of orchestration to make life easier to manage when we failover."

"The solution is not easy to use. It's actually quite hard. If it could be simplified it might be better for the end user."

"The biggest challenge we faced was attempting replication between two different kinds of storage systems, like IBM on one side and Dell EMC storage systems on the other, before opting for VPLEX."

"In the next release of this software, I would like to see options that help to decrease the bandwidth required, such as compressing the data."

"The solution currently supports only VMware. There is increasing demand for compatibility with other hypervisors, such as Hyper V and KVM Proxmox. Additionally, licensing has become less flexible and more expensive."

"Maybe integration with Kubernetes for OpenShift would be helpful."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"For me, the price of the tool is cheap and very good. It is flexible pricing since you pay just for what you use."

"Live Migration's price is good."

"The tool is expensive. If one means cheaply priced and ten means expensive, I rate the tool's price as a seven."

"This is not a very cheap solution and compared to others, it is expensive."

"This is an expensive product."

"Pricing-wise, it is pretty much fair for any customer who only has a VMware environment. Licensing is based on the number of VMs that you want to protect at any given point in time. Licensing is not based on size."

"There is a license required for this solution and the pricing depends on how many virtual machines you have."

"It was a part of a backup solution. So, it was free for us."
