While scalability is good, latency exists due to our business nature.
Delivery Head Data Engineering at BAGIC
AWS's scalable nature involves a human approach, meaning it is not auto-scalable.
Lead Architect at Fracral
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
7.2
AWS Database Migration Service is reliable and stable, with occasional manual interventions needed for large data volumes or constant migrations.
Sentiment score
7.7
Tungsten RPA is generally stable and reliable, though legacy integration issues and lack of insights tools present challenges.
For DMS version upgrades, we schedule downtime during business hours so that midnight workloads are not interrupted and morning business can run smoothly.

Room For Improvement

AWS Database Migration Service needs improved functionality, compatibility, monitoring, and documentation to enhance user experience and platform support.
Tungsten RPA requires better support, documentation, scalability, integration, intuitive interface, expanded browser support, and enhanced community and features.
DMS works within AWS ecosystem, but they also have to look for third party solutions. Now Snowflake is a bigger player, or Databricks.
Delivery Head Data Engineering at BAGIC
Sometimes, those who implement the service face problems and resolve it, but I may not even know what problems they faced.
Owner at a outsourcing company with 1,001-5,000 employees
The lack of a developer community in Tungsten RPA is a red flag for us and for customers.

Setup Cost

AWS Database Migration Service is cost-effective long-term, with pricing varying by usage, migration complexity, and regional differences.
Tungsten RPA offers subscription pricing with varied costs, competitive yet more expensive than UiPath, plus a 10% annual support fee.
 

Valuable Features

AWS Database Migration Service offers scalable, cost-effective migration with easy administration, real-time synchronization, and high data security.
Tungsten RPA excels in integration, security, and flexibility with highlights in email preservation, automation, and comprehensive technical support.
You can copy the database at first without impacting your current database, and then use CDC to copy incremental changes.
Owner at a outsourcing company with 1,001-5,000 employees
AWS offers a way to build jobs that are scalable, expandable for new and current tables, and can be deployed quickly.
Lead Architect at Fracral
The scalability option is another valuable feature because AWS provides its own compute behind it, so I can scale up and scale down at any given point.
Delivery Head Data Engineering at BAGIC
If you don't have a computer science background, you can easily use Tungsten RPA because this is a low-code platform and it is easier than other RPA tools.

Delivery Head Data Engineering at BAGIC
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.

Automates browsing tasks without needing a server connection
I have worked with Microsoft Power Platform and UiPath. Kofax RPA offers a comprehensive solution with built-in capabilities for executing tasks like running Excel files and web automation without additional servers. They provide their browsers and extensions. For functions such as OCR, image processing, and data extraction, Kofax has built-in features powered by their engine, eliminating the need for subscriptions to external technologies like Microsoft Cognitive Services or Google Search. One of Kofax RPA's strongest features is its on-premise solution, which is particularly beneficial for organizations operating in regions with data regulations, such as the UAE.
