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.

Accessible support with easy upgrades and helpful patch support
The process of upgrading the software is quite easy. For instance, upgrading the Studio is straightforward, especially if done automatically. However, I typically do it manually by downloading the patch and placing it in the dedicated folder before restarting the studio. I have successfully requested the necessary patch from Talend support multiple times to align different studio versions across the team of developers. It was not difficult, and having access to Talend support directly from TNC proved quite beneficial. Our business has been running smoothly for three and a half years.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"AWS Database Migration Service is affordable and cheaper."
"As the solution is on the cloud, we don't have to worry about the maintenance of software."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the one I use for report generation. The security risk is very low."
"I am very impressed by the scalability of AWS Database Migration Service."
"Support is helpful."
"AWS Database Migration Service is good for smaller workloads and provides compatibility."
"We particularly like that this solution has the facility to integrate with all ETL tools."
"The basic tools are easy to pick up and understand."
"We can develop our own code if we do not see the functionality we need."
"I like the way that you can use the context variables, and how you can work those context variables to give you values and settings for every development environment, such as PROD, TEST, and DEV."
"The process of upgrading the software is quite easy."
"I like everything about this product, but the biggest thing is the ease of use."
"Overall, the management and running environment are very stable, and I would rate it an eight out of ten."
"The solution is very user-friendly and easy to understand."
"The solution is connected to various phones. It retrieves the configuration from the system."
 

Cons

"This solution can offer more tweaks where the latency can be brought down to fifteen seconds."
"Support could be more expedient. Right now I am waiting on support for an extension."
"The product's performance could be a little bit better."
"The performance of data migration could be smoother."
"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 solution’s scalability and performance could be improved."
"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."
"Sometimes we encounter errors, and the error messages from DMS are very ambiguous and sometimes misleading."
"Performance and speed could be improved."
"The stability is good, but the performance is slower when I work on a huge amount of data."
"I would like to sync a project and do an upload from that current version, and then from GitLab, be able to download the latest one."
"Data management could also encompass APIs and real-time streaming data integration."
"I think they should drive toward AI and machine learning. They could include a machine-learning algorithm for the deduplication."
"They lack in memory capacity."
"The documentation from version to version could be more accurate."
"The biggest challenge with Talend was its performance."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution’s pricing is reasonable."
"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."
"AWS Database Migration Service is the least expensive solution, but is still expensive."
"Pricing can be improved."
"AWS Database Migration Service is very inexpensive."
"The pricing can be better and it should be more competitive."
"Cost is the only factor that is challenging."
"For Egypt, the product's prices are high, making it a specific problem in one region and not globally."
"The pricing is a little higher than what I had expected, but it's comparable with I-PASS competitors."
"The price is on a per-user basis. It's a little more expensive than other tools. There aren't any additional costs beyond the standard licensing fee."
"The price of the Talend Data Management Platform is reasonable. The other competing solutions are priced high. Gartner Magic Quadrant identified other solutions, such as Informatica, that are far more expensive."
"License renewal is on a yearly basis."
"The tool is cheap."
"The licensing cost is about 40,000 Euros a year."
"The solution's pricing is very reasonable and half the cost of Informatica."
