We performed a comparison between AWS Database Migration Service and Oracle GoldenGate based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."Support is helpful."
"As the solution is on the cloud, we don't have to worry about the maintenance of software."
"Even if it does break down, it will automatically recover itself and resumes from where it stopped."
"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 tools are very user-friendly."
"The solution is instantaneous. We can launch the service and reduce the end number of manpower."
"The database migration services allow us to do real-time synchronization of on-premise and database to plan out our releases."
"The product's initial setup phase was very easy."
"The product's initial setup phase was very simple."
"The product is reliable for data integrity."
"It works best with Oracle."
"Many of the features of Oracle GoldenGate are valuable. We use Oracle databases and this tool is from Oracle, making it have superior compatibility."
"I like that the product transforms data and provides real-time applications."
"One feature that stands out for me is the data center capability."
"This solution provides us with real-time replication and it does not affect the performance of other operations, which is very important to us."
"It scales well. You can either have it working in with the databases, or you can move it outside. It's got the ability to parallelize up, so you can certainly extract and replay the data from your databases in parallel. So it does have horizontal scalability. That is probably one of its stronger features, the ability just to automatically parallelize the replay and playing of data to allow to scale to large volumes."
"Support could be more expedient. Right now I am waiting on support for an extension."
"There are a set of complexities and challenges when a user wants to integrate AWS products with Microsoft products."
"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."
"More endpoints need to be supported by AWS Database Migration Service. There's also a need for more control and transparency on the product, including better technical support."
"What needs improvement in AWS Database Migration Service is that it lacks a log file validation feature. If the solution could provide more details about a particular transaction, that would be helpful. The stability of AWS Database Migration Service for online CDC records also needs to be improved."
"One area that AWS DMS can improve on is its conversion of data types. For example, in Oracle, you have a data type called RAW, but in PostgreSQL there is no such thing. Thus, AWS DMS doesn't know what type I want to use when migrating from Oracle to PostgreSQL, and when performing the migration, AWS DMS changed the RAW data type to the byte data type, which isn't what I wanted."
"The server has limits on how many can connect to the database."
"The solution’s scalability and performance could be improved."
"I would like to see the interface more graphical and easier to use."
"There are a lot of bugs in the solution."
"The solution's performance needs improvement."
"In some cases, expectations were not met, especially when specific tables were expected to be disabled, and changes were anticipated in the target environment. We had to take backups from the source and refresh the address to address this."
"We struggle with memory. It's limited. However, it may be because of our unique business case and how we use it that it's limiting for us."
"It would be great if Oracle added some enhanced features or more functionalities to Oracle GoldenGate."
"Lacks the ability to become a full-scale ETL tool."
"The solution, in general, should be easier to use, with less need to perform workarounds within the system."
