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 installation is easy."
"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."
"We particularly like that this solution has the facility to integrate with all ETL tools."
"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 simple. Not that much complex."
"AWS Database Migration Service enabled me to migrate an on-premises database to AWS with minimal downtime, which is a great offering from AWS."
"From my point of view, it was the best option in this case."
"The most valuable feature is its ability to get all the changes in our data and store that in an S3 bucket."
"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 solution’s scalability and performance could be improved."
"The server has limits on how many can connect to the database."
"I think that Amazon needs to improve the migration scenarios after analytics. We need more migration tools or more specific tools for migration and licenses."
"The price is expensive for a person or student who wants to learn how to use the solution."
"This solution is compatible with only AWS. I cannot use this solution with AWS and other cloud services like Azure or Google Cloud."
"This solution can offer more tweaks where the latency can be brought down to fifteen seconds."
"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."
"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."
"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

"In terms of pricing, I'd rate it an eight out of ten, considering it's a well-priced solution."
"AWS Database Migration Service is the least expensive solution, but is still expensive."
"I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten."
"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 solution’s pricing is reasonable."
"Cost is the only factor that is challenging."
"Pricing can be improved."
"AWS Database Migration Service is very inexpensive."
"Customers pay a license fee yearly."
"I found the price to be quite reasonable."
