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.

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

Pros

"The CloudEndure feature is most valuable because it is user friendly and very simple."

"The product is reasonably priced."

"I rate AWS Application Migration Service a nine out of ten overall."

"The most valuable feature is the live, block-to-block replication."

"AWS Application Migration Service allows us to perform migrations with minimal downtime, which is crucial for our operations."

"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 speed and the footprint the solution uses regarding storage are great."

"It is a very simple tool to use and offers flexibility in using the tool for recovery and transitioning from one state to another."

"One of the standout features of Dell RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines is its real-time data protection capability."

"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."

"The speed and the footprint the solution uses regarding storage are great."

Cons

"Live Migration has some issues with target setups."

"One drawback to using CloudEndure is that the default is to give one small, lightweight server, which is created in the cloud."

"The schema conversion is not included in the document management services itself. Complex formations require additional steps."

"I do not see any improvements required for the CloudEndure."

"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."

"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 configuration process seems a bit challenging, and the installation takes a bit longer than expected."

"The biggest challenge we faced was attempting replication between two different kinds of storage systems, like IBM on one side and Dell EMC storage systems on the other, before opting for VPLEX."

"I would like to see integration with EMC NetWorker in the next release."

"It should have features for recovering a group of virtual machines and full-scale security. For recovering all the VMs at once, they don't have a GUI option, and we have to use the command line."

"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 some cases, the response times could improve, but we haven't had issues with their support."

"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."

"It can have better integration. It would be good if, in addition to VMware VM, it can also support other hypervisors. I also want to see support for Oracle databases. As of now, it supports only SQL and Exchange. It would be good to also support other databases."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"For me, the price of the tool is cheap and very good. It is flexible pricing since you pay just for what you use."

"Live Migration's price is good."

"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."

"This is an expensive product."

"It was a part of a backup solution. So, it was free for us."

"There is a license required for this solution and the pricing depends on how many virtual machines you have."

"This is not a very cheap solution and compared to others, it is expensive."

"The tool is expensive. If one means cheaply priced and ten means expensive, I rate the tool's price as a seven."
