Integration with other services has improved migration efficiency
A valuable feature is the schema conversion tool, which allows me to migrate databases, for example, from Oracle to Postgres. The service is fully managed by AWS, which makes it better to use the migration services. It is beneficial to enable phased migration, and the service offers easy integration with other AWS services. The integration of AWS Application Migration Service with AWS makes it a good tool for working with AWS services.
ClaudioSalgado - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers replication flexibility across multiple environments, including local centers and secondary sites
It offers key features like any point-in-time recovery without needing scheduled snapshots. It allows for automated VM protection during processes like failover and testing, and it offers replication flexibility across multiple environments, including local centers and secondary sites. It also provides IP address management when network configurations differ across sites.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature is the live, block-to-block replication."
"The CloudEndure feature is most valuable because it is user friendly and very simple."
"Live Migration's best feature is that it's free."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten...Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten...I rate the solution's support a ten out of ten."
"The product is reasonably priced."
"I rate AWS Application Migration Service a nine out of ten overall."
"AWS Application Migration Service allows us to perform migrations with minimal downtime, which is crucial for our operations."
"One of the standout features of Dell RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines is its real-time data protection capability."
"The speed and the footprint the solution uses regarding storage are great."
"Point-in-time recovery and ease of deployment are valuable."
"The generalization of the journals allows us to go back in time and choose the snapshot suitable for us. We can grab it as needed."
"RecoverPoint replicates workloads fast."
"It is a very simple tool to use and offers flexibility in using the tool for recovery and transitioning from one state to another."
"The installation is straightforward if the version you have is compatible with your infrastructure."
"The solution is quite stable. We haven't experienced any kind of bug or glitch. We haven't experienced crashes."
 

Cons

"One drawback to using CloudEndure is that the default is to give one small, lightweight server, which is created in the cloud."
"I think it is important to have more logs, and more details would be great because we have just logged on the client's side, but there weren't many details on the cloud."
"The schema conversion is not included in the document management services itself. Complex formations require additional steps."
"There are some features in the Migration Factory that could be integrated directly into AWS Application Migration Service."
"We would like to have a disaster recovery feature included in this solution."
"Live Migration has some issues with target setups."
"I do not see any improvements required for the CloudEndure."
"I would like to see integration with EMC NetWorker in the next release."
"The solution's technical team has enough skills, but the process can get complicated with the time you get connected with the L3 support."
"The solution could improve by being more easier to use. However, once you have used it for a while it becomes easier. Additionally, there could be better support and compatibility with management by having a command-line interface. This would be beneficial for the customers."
"In the next release of this software, I would like to see options that help to decrease the bandwidth required, such as compressing the data."
"The configuration process seems a bit challenging, and the installation takes a bit longer than expected."
"Maybe integration with Kubernetes for OpenShift would be helpful."
"The solution is not easy to use. It's actually quite hard. If it could be simplified it might be better for the end user."
"In some cases, the response times could improve, but we haven't had issues with their support."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Live Migration's price is good."
"For me, the price of the tool is cheap and very good. It is flexible pricing since you pay just for what you use."
"Pricing-wise, it is pretty much fair for any customer who only has a VMware environment. Licensing is based on the number of VMs that you want to protect at any given point in time. Licensing is not based on size."
"There is a license required for this solution and the pricing depends on how many virtual machines you have."
"It was a part of a backup solution. So, it was free for us."
"The tool is expensive. If one means cheaply priced and ten means expensive, I rate the tool's price as a seven."
"This is not a very cheap solution and compared to others, it is expensive."
"This is an expensive product."
