"The installation is easy."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"The process is now simplified because there won't be maintenance. Usually we can take a snapshot of the number I need. We can automate the backup snapshots and we can restore it very quickly. We get many benefits from the application."
"Even if it does break down, it will automatically recover itself and resumes from where it stopped."
"I am very impressed by the scalability of AWS Database Migration Service."
"For our simple requirement of migration, DMS is just a typical AWS RDS with an IPSec tunnel to Oracle. The most valuable features for us are the networking capabilities like VPCs and VPNs."
"The simplicity of the solution is its valuable feature."
"There's the general feature of the platform where it just makes it very easy to integrate different things, but I would say a specific difference is their integration of DBT,."
"The general data ingestion is valuable. It's used for a lot of data. It provides about 90% of the data we use in our data warehouse without needing data engineering."
"The product has some seamless connectors, which are readily available."
"Fivetran can perform data migration incredibly fast, depending on the source and target."
"Fivetran is remarkably easy to use; I haven't encountered any other data integration tool that is as user-friendly."
"Making the decision to implement Fivetran was supported by the fact that they have better connectors than other competitors."
"Fivetran's most valuable feature is replication."
"Migrating from here and pushing the data from on-premise to AWS cloud is a big challenge and a few more services from AWS would be helpful. For example, we are currently using ILDB internet tools which move data from on-premise to the AWS cloud. A few more services would be really helpful for me to move the master data."
"Support could be more expedient. Right now I am waiting on support for an extension."
"The initial setup can be difficult for beginners in AWS Database Migration Service. You will need the training to complete it."
"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."
"This solution can offer more tweaks where the latency can be brought down to fifteen seconds."
"This solution is compatible with only AWS."
"I think that Amazon needs to improve the migration scenarios after analytics"
"We would like to see some improvement in the performance of large scale procedures, such as when we migrate from Oracle to csSQL."
"The documentation is decent, but it's hard to find information online about Fivetran. For example, if you try to search for an error code, you won't find much information about it in forums."
"I would like for them to incorporate additional transformations. A valuable aspect of the product is that it does inflight transformations and that could be expanded."
"There was a random change to our contract in a unilateral manner after the first year. The overall cost of using Fivetran was then unclear and this is the reason I would not recommend this solution."
"Fivetran should add more connectors because its competitors, like Airbyte, have more connectors."
"Fivetran would be improved by adding the ability to integrate the data from third-party APIs."
"The connections with SAP must be improved."
"I would like Fivetran to implement additional resource monitoring and restriction policies."
"HVR Software's technical support could be improved. Whenever we log a case, the response that we get from the support is a bit delayed."
