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.

Simplified integrations bring flexibility and efficiency to diverse industries through comprehensive features and robust support
SAP is already trying to make improvements for SAP Process Orchestration by releasing updates every quarter, including patches and modules, and from a security standpoint, while it's a tightly coupled tool, they are introducing a lot of enhancements aligned with current market trends. There are standard contents readily available for starting integrations, which suit around 90% of every industry across verticals including pharma, manufacturing, and employee data central with SuccessFactors integration. Regarding functionality-wise improvements in SAP Process Orchestration, they are now incorporating the Salesforce system. Previously, we needed to rely on a third-party adapter for integration within SAP, but now they are building their own adapters to connect with Salesforce. Additionally, there are options like data connectors using Ariba coming up with SAP Process Orchestration. There's much more to explore, especially as they release new patches, enhancements, and adapters each quarter.

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."
"AWS Database Migration Service enabled me to migrate an on-premises database to AWS with minimal downtime, which is a great offering from AWS."
"The initial setup is very simple and straightforward."
"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."
"This solution is very good at mini-batch processing."
"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."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the one I use for report generation. The security risk is very low."
"It provides essential features such as continuous monitoring of all interfaces are crucial for our needs."
"Orchestration is beneficial for us."
"The solution's technical support is good."
"The initial setup is easy."
"SAP Process Orchestration has all the features that are necessary."
"Someone who has to work on a PO should at least have a basic understanding of Java because as it is an integration tool, the way SAP provides to transform the messages from one structure to another is very good."
"The most valuable features of SAP Process Orchestration are the standard APIs that we can use."
"The monitoring is one of the greatest features in Process Orchestration because it is user-friendly and easy for somebody who is not experienced."
 

Cons

"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."
"One drawback I experienced was with balance and sync."
"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."
"It would be helpful if the bandwidth could be independent of the network or if we could have a dedicated bandwidth for this product."
"Sometimes we encounter errors, and the error messages from DMS are very ambiguous and sometimes misleading."
"Database Migration Service could be more integrated. I think that it makes sense to add integration to these functions. For example, AWS Glue has a feature called Orchestrator to create data flows, and that's more straightforward."
"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."
"It is a very expensive program and you pay a license fee based on the amount of users you have."
"The monitoring governance offered by SAP is too technical and needs to be geared more toward business users."
"There are two main areas for improvement: performance and cost."
"Data modeling is an area of concern in the product where improvements are required."
"This is an on-premise platform and one area they can improve on is having the ability to work with SaaS solutions."
"The cloud capability features need improvement."
"The usability, for example, is an area where it can be improved upon."
"SAP needs to improve a lot in terms of the orchestration part so that more adapters can be provided to users, which are areas where the solution has downsides."
"We encounter challenges while connecting to MQTT and MQDD adapters."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"For Egypt, the product's prices are high, making it a specific problem in one region and not globally."
"Pricing can be improved."
"AWS Database Migration Service is very inexpensive."
"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."
"The pricing can be better and it should be more competitive."
"There are fees in addition to the licensing."
"It's not an expensive solution."
"The pricing for this solution is fine."
"The cost of SAP products is quite high but the quality is really good."
"We subscribe to annual licenses, and the competitive license cost is reasonable."
"The fee for maintenance is costly."
"Looking at market conditions, vendors nowadays are giving products at very low price levels. However, SAP Process Orchestration have not yet reduced their prices. The prices could be reduced a lot to stay competitive."
"The pricing depends on what type of client you are with SAP and the contract you have. There is a licensing cost that needs to be paid."
