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 main reason clients come to us to do these migrations to AWS is that it's self-managed."
"What I like about AWS Database Migration Service is that it's a good product that allows you to migrate terabytes of data. My team was able to migrate almost 16TB of data using AWS Database Migration Service. The solution works fine for my use case."
"The solution makes it very simple to migrate the database."
"I was very impressed by the scalability of AWS Database Migration Service."
"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."
"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."
"We have the ability to bring data for all tables of a database in one go, as long as the tables follow a particular naming convention."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"The most valuable features are that is easy to install and it is user-friendly."
"DBMoto was very simple to set up and move our tables to the Oracle DB."
"It's a good product that is user-friendly and easy to manage, and I would recommend it to others."
 

Cons

"The product's performance could be a little bit better."
"One drawback I experienced was with balance and sync."
"The server has limits on how many can connect to the database."
"This solution is compatible with only AWS."
"It is a very expensive program and you pay a license fee based on the amount of users you have."
"AWS Database Migration Service can become complex when testing. Other solutions, such as Microsoft Azure makes it easy to do. There are more steps to complete tasks in AWS Database Migration Service than in Microsoft Azure."
"As a solution, the better thing is if more platforms come with direct compatibility, like connecting to different data sources. The basic problem I faced the most was while transferring and reading data from Excel. So, one time, I found that all the components I had declared in my scripts were able to take it. And after some patching happens, it is not able to support that. Again, we need to update the version of Excel. So, it's not like a plug-in type place where you have done the solution and are confident that it will work. So, this is an area of improvement."
"The initial setup can be difficult for beginners in AWS Database Migration Service. You will need the training to complete it."
"Pricing is an area that needs improvement."
"This product would be improved with additional built-in functions for simpler date conversion, as well as for data type transformations."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution’s pricing is reasonable."
"Pricing for the solution is reasonable, but could still be reduced."
"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."
"The pricing is on the higher side."
"AWS Database Migration Service is the least expensive solution, but is still expensive."
"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."
"For Egypt, the product's prices are high, making it a specific problem in one region and not globally."
"AWS Database Migration Service is very inexpensive."
"Customers pay a license fee yearly."
"I found the price to be quite reasonable."
