Streamlines data migration across platforms with cost-effective and scalable solutions
We have the continuous data integration feature, but it does not work very well in our given ecosystem because we have huge data volume, and it reads from archive log rather than the redo sequence. That is where it lacks, so we are not able to do continuous streaming data injection. The ability to handle heterogeneous migrations for our organization is adequate. I do not see a major value add, or see it as a marquee feature. It is a good tool, but we do not have that sort of uses requirement. In my 10 plus years of experience, I do not see that kind of requirement where I have to replicate it in real time. I leverage AWS CloudWatch for addressing migration issues. The major challenges come across CDC. We have created latency filter and everything, but there is no way to control it. Due to the nature of our business, the transactions increase during month end and year end. My transactions are supposed to increase, my workloads on my core system increases, but my DMS is not able to keep up with them, even if I increase it to a higher side. Improvements could be made in AWS Database Migration Service. Because of that, I am moving out of DMS now to a STRIIM solution. DMS works within AWS ecosystem, but they also have to look for third party solutions. Now Snowflake is a bigger player, or Databricks. Something that could be possible as a connector, whether paid or free, but giving as a connector to that ecosystem as well.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The way it works is brilliant, and it's based on similar logic to Oracle's GoldenGate migration tool in that you can migrate everything from data tables to schemas from one database to another."
"The most valuable feature is its ability to get all the changes in our data and store that in an S3 bucket."
"From my point of view, it was the best option in this case."
"Saving the data that is in use is easy."
"We have an in-built tool provided by Amazon; it is a database migration tool that supports a smooth migration, is instantaneous, and lets us launch the service to reduce the number of manpower needed."
"Scalable and stable solution for migrating databases to AWS, with valuable features such as parallel full load and continuous data replication."
"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."
"Even if it does break down, it will automatically recover itself and resumes from where it stopped."
"DBMoto was very simple to set up and move our tables to the Oracle DB."
"The most valuable features are that is easy to install and it is user-friendly."
"It's a good product that is user-friendly and easy to manage, and I would recommend it to others."
 

Cons

"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."
"It would be helpful if the bandwidth could be independent of the network or if we could have a dedicated bandwidth for this product."
"It is a very expensive program and you pay a license fee based on the amount of users you have."
"One drawback I experienced was with balance and sync."
"Database Migration Service could be more integrated. I think that it makes sense to add integration to these functions. For example, AWS Glue has a feature called Orchestrator to create data flows, and that's more straightforward."
"Sometimes we encounter errors, and the error messages from DMS are very ambiguous and sometimes misleading."
"The most significant issue is the licensing costs, which sometimes make it difficult for AWS to compete with existing Microsoft pricing structures."
"We would like to see some improvement in the performance of large scale procedures, such as when we migrate from Oracle to csSQL."
"This product would be improved with additional built-in functions for simpler date conversion, as well as for data type transformations."
"Pricing is an area that needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution’s pricing is reasonable."
"Cost is the only factor that is challenging."
"AWS Database Migration Service is very inexpensive."
"The pricing can be better and it should be more competitive."
"I rate the product price a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is a high price, and ten is a low price."
"The pricing is per hour, though I do not have the exact figures. If you have specific questions about the service, a personal support team from Amazon is available, but this will bring in additional costs."
"AWS Database Migration Service is the least expensive solution, but is still expensive."
"Pricing can be improved."
"I found the price to be quite reasonable."
"Customers pay a license fee yearly."
