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.

Cons

"There are some features in the Migration Factory that could be integrated directly into AWS Application Migration Service."
"One drawback to using CloudEndure is that the default is to give one small, lightweight server, which is created in the cloud."
"Live Migration has some issues with target setups."
"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."
"The schema conversion is not included in the document management services itself. Complex formations require additional steps."
"We would like to have a disaster recovery feature included in this solution."
"I do not see any improvements required for the CloudEndure."
"It is not easy to navigate, especially with the numerous reports available."
"The physical server backups and direct storage connectivity need improvement."
"They need to support more platforms."
"The solution could improve by having more user-friendly dashboards."
"The price can be better."
"OpenStack is something Veeam Data Platform doesn't support, and they haven't indicated that they will support it in the future."
"It would be better if the solution presented the number of servers and the success rate on the dashboard."
"The orchestration feature can be improved. They can improve the virtual machine orchestration to make it similar to VMware. They can also provide an option to automate the backup and recovery and schedule a backup."
 

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."

"I understand from management that the DR component is too expensive."
