Find out in this report how the two Cloud Data Integration solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature of AWS Database Migration Service is it catches all the history changes, such as inset, observe, and delete. It tracks everything."
"The solution is instantaneous. We can launch the service and reduce the end number of manpower."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the one I use for report generation. The security risk is very low."
"The initial setup is simple. Not that much complex."
"If your infrastructure is already on Amazon, it simply makes the most sense to use a tool officially provided by them as an additional service, rather than having to rely on a third-party solution."
"Scalable and stable solution for migrating databases to AWS, with valuable features such as parallel full load and continuous data replication."
"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 installation is easy."
"The most valuable feature is the data integration for data warehousing."
"The solution is stable."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the ability to incorporate very complex business rules in Data Stage."

"We like the flexibility of modeling."
"It is quite useful and powerful."
"If they had some sort of functionality where, at a specific point in time, if I want to start a new job, it should automatically pick up from where it has been left rather than having people worry about the exact job number and the timing."
"Whatever solution worked today can not be reused in the next migration."
"It would be helpful if the bandwidth could be independent of the network or if we could have a dedicated bandwidth for this product."
"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."
"Support could be more expedient. Right now I am waiting on support for an extension."
"We would like to see some improvement in the performance of large scale procedures, such as when we migrate from Oracle to csSQL."
"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."
"There are a set of complexities and challenges when a user wants to integrate AWS products with Microsoft products."
"Working with some of the big data components is good, but I can see improvements are needed."
"I'd like to be able to do more with the data and metadata, including copy and pasting, et cetera."
