We performed a comparison between AWS Database Migration Service and SnapLogic 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."The most valuable feature of the solution is the one I use for report generation. The security risk is very low."
"The solution is instantaneous. We can launch the service and reduce the end number of manpower."
"It's pretty useful when we need to migrate something big from a different type of database that AWS Data Migration Services supports."
"We particularly like that this solution has the facility to integrate with all ETL tools."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"Scalable and stable solution for migrating databases to AWS, with valuable features such as parallel full load and continuous data replication."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"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 feature I found most valuable in SnapLogic is low-code development. Low-code development has been very useful for simple processes, which is required for business users such as extracting details from a file or getting things reported by calling your web service. Calling your web service also becomes easier with SnapLogic because of the snaps available, so if you have the documentation, you can call an API. You don't have to write all those clients to call an API, so that is another feature I found very easy in SnapLogic. Configuring and managing all the file systems also become very handy with the solution."
"By using snaps instead of functions in code, you can see the building blocks of the integration visually. This helps a lot."
"They are very good at building out new aspects according to customer requirements."
"It is a stable solution."
"The solution is easy to implement and easy to use. It's basically just drag and drop."
"SnapLogic is an IPA tool that leverages a low code environment to connect to multiple sources, extract data, and store it in Azure data lake."
"You can use other languages, such as Python, and easily connect to other systems."
"SnapLogic is a great platform for establishing integrations among various systems or patterns by using any kind of interface. If something is not supported by predefined snaps – snaps are connectors in SnapLogic – you can create them (custom snaps) or write a script."
"The live duplication has a delay of two minutes, which can be an issue."
"This solution is compatible with only AWS."
"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."
"The initial setup can be difficult for beginners in AWS Database Migration Service. You will need the training to complete it."
"We would like to see some improvement in the performance of large scale procedures, such as when we migrate from Oracle to csSQL."
"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."
"This solution can offer more tweaks where the latency can be brought down to fifteen seconds."
"Whatever solution worked today can not be reused in the next migration."
"SnapLogic doesn't provide any on-premises software, so users have only cloud-based software to use."
"What could be improved in SnapLogic is that it was not capable in terms of processing a large number of datasets, but at that point, SnapLogic was evolving. It didn't give a lot of Snaps. I heard recently there are a lot of Snaps getting added and the solution was being enhanced, particularly to connect different data sources. When I was working with SnapLogic six months to one year back, I faced the issue of it not being capable of handling a huge volume of datasets or didn't have much of Snaps, and that was the drawback. If there is any large number of data sets, that's based on or depends on your configuration. If it is a huge volume of data, other traditional ETL tools such as Informatica and Talend can process millions and billions of records, while in SnapLogic, the Snaplex fails or it returns an error in terms of processing that huge volume of data. Informatica, Talend, or any other ETL tool can run for hours in terms of jobs, while SnapLogic jobs fail when the threshold is reached. SnapLogic isn't able to withstand processing, but I don't know if that's still an issue at present, because the solution is getting enhanced and it's been more than six months to one year since I last worked with SnapLogic. There are now a lot of Snaps getting added to the solution, and if it can overcome the limitations I mentioned, SnapLogic could be the go-to tool because currently, it's not being used as much in organizations. It's being used comparatively less compared to other retail tools."
"We'd like there to be more ways for users to get more comfortable and have more experience with the solution to make it easier to use."
"We'd like zero downtime in the future."
"I don't think the support has better knowledge about technologies and tool support. There were lots of times when we had an issue, and it took me quite a long time to explain the problem. I feel like some of the support staff don't know their product well."
"The support is the most important improvement they could make."
"Ultra Pipelines provides real-time ingestion but it needs some adjustment."
"I am looking for more scheduling options. When it comes to scheduling, there are different tools in the market."
