Centralizing database tables enhances workflow efficiency for ease of use
I was looking for some content as part of a comparison analysis. However, one of the pain points is that it is way too free-flowing. I have to skim through all the security pages to get to the crux of it. I was looking for a table that suggests which facets such services address with proofs of reference from professional conferences. The document is a 63-page read, making it very difficult to navigate without a summary. I was looking for a summary at the start, however, if I have to do it myself, I might as well integrate from AWS Docs and then Informative Exchange. The current document contains a lot of information, which is great, but there needs to be a summary indicating the story's essence. Unless there's a correction, it is not present in the document.

Offers a very good development environment and supports the use of multiple programming languages
We are using a graphical tool called PowerDesigner to create logical and physical models. From that, we create code that can be run by Oracle Data Integrator, which then maps the data based on these models and sends it to its destination. It is currently very integrated with Oracle The Oracle…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I like that I can focus on the logic and I don't have to worry about the administration stuff. AWS handles that for me."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the one I use for report generation. The security risk is very low."
"DMS's architecture is highly beneficial, allowing for scalable migrations of large datasets."
"The product is cheaper than all platforms"
"One of the features, I find most valuable is its ability to apply rules and transformations to data during real-time integration. This includes changing schema names or table structures on AWS without delaying the data flow. Initially, full migrations can vary widely in time depending on the source system; for instance, a large Magento database might take up to six months, while smaller databases like IBM DB2 could migrate within hours. Once set up, AWS DMS ensures real-time synchronization using Change Data Capture (CDC), maintaining data integrity throughout the process."
"The tools are very user-friendly."
"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."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"The solution's initial setup is straightforward, especially compared to Mule, which our team has worked with before and found to be a bit more complex in terms of setup."
"It uses the power of the database system efficiently."
"The product has an ELT approach."
"In our DW/BI solution, ODI is the main tool to integrate the data in a daily batch way."
"What I found most valuable in Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) is that it integrates well with almost all technologies currently being used in my company."
"ODI's best features are customization, integration with other versioning tools, and the ability to define new knowledge modules."
"It is an ETL tool, which does the extract, transform, and load."
"Most of the functions are very straightforward, like the data model, mapping, package, and load plan. Thus, a new user could get started very fast."
 

Cons

"The initial setup can be difficult for beginners in AWS Database Migration Service. You will need the training to complete it."
"The solution’s scalability and performance could be improved."
"There could be enhancements in the product intelligently covering more scenarios to prevent crashes or failures."
"There is no connectivity to the source database or the target database."
"We would like to see some improvement in the performance of large scale procedures, such as when we migrate from Oracle to csSQL."
"Sometimes we encounter errors, and the error messages from DMS are very ambiguous and sometimes misleading."
"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."
"This solution can offer more tweaks where the latency can be brought down to fifteen seconds."
"The Oracle Data Integrator interface is extremely slow, especially when using remote desktop connections."
"Technical Support could be better."
"It has been very good. Just recently, I've faced an issue, but I solved it somehow. While integrating with a file, I faced an issue where I wanted output files, and I had used the text field limited quotations, but at the end of the file, there was a line breakage for the last column. So, we just removed the text field because it was not working correctly for us."
"Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) is already good as a solution. Still, it needs some editing of its preview package, or if the package is upgraded, that will make Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) even better."
"The resource management aspect of the solution could be improved."
"The initial setup is a bit complex compared to other tools."
"Oracle support services are not up to the mark."
"If there was an add-on tool to hide the performance issues and solve them for me, then I might be interested in that as it would provide me value."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution’s pricing is reasonable."
"The pricing is on the higher side."
"I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten."
"In terms of pricing, I'd rate it an eight out of ten, considering it's a well-priced solution."
"The pricing can be better and it should be more competitive."
"For Egypt, the product's prices are high, making it a specific problem in one region and not globally."
"AWS Database Migration Service is the least expensive solution, but is still expensive."
"Cost is the only factor that is challenging."
"The Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) pricing isn't expensive, but it's not cheap, so it's in the middle. I'd rate the pricing as three out of five."
"The license can be costly, but in certain complex cases, ODI proves to be the optimal solution."
"ODI comes included when buying the cloud version of the Oracle database license."
"Per user, it is $900 USD per year, though they will give some discount. However, even a 60% to 70% of discount for each won't help us much. On top of that, there is the perpetual license you must pay at the outset."
"We found that the cost compared to other integration tools is a little high, but the solution works great."
"Being an ODI developer, I never had to pay for this product. I know that the pricing/licensing is not really low, but the product is really good."
"There is a standard license to use the solution but there are other costs in addition, such as hardware and operating system."
"The solution is very expensive."
