Straightforward to set up with easy of capturing database changes and secure storage
We are setting up CDT jobs to get database changes from AWS RDS. We are not really migrating anything, but we get the changes from our source RDS instance and save it as a file in an S3 bucket For our continuity planning, we need all the history happening in the source database because AWS source…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Ab Initio reaches the highest performance and is very flexible in processing huge amounts of data."
"Co>Operating System's most valuable feature is its ability to process bulk data effectively."
"The Schema Conversion Tool helps to covert the convertible objects and define the non-convertible objects"
"If your infrastructure is already on Amazon, it simply makes the most sense to use a tool officially provided by them as an additional service, rather than having to rely on a third-party solution."
"What I like about AWS Database Migration Service is that it's a good product that allows you to migrate terabytes of data. My team was able to migrate almost 16TB of data using AWS Database Migration Service. The solution works fine for my use case."
"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."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"This solution is very good at mini-batch processing."
"The solution is instantaneous. We can launch the service and reduce the end number of manpower."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
 

Cons

"An awesome improvement would be big data solutions, for example, implementing some kind of business intelligence or neural networks for artificial intelligence."
"Co>Operating System would be improved with more integrations for less well-known technologies."
"The server has limits on how many can connect to the database."
"There could be enhancements in the product intelligently covering more scenarios to prevent crashes or failures."
"I think that Amazon needs to improve the migration scenarios after analytics"
"The performance of data migration could be smoother."
"Support could be more expedient. Right now I am waiting on support for an extension."
"In my experience, AWS Database Migration Service performs well for its primary purpose of data migration. One area that could be improved is its support for non-AWS file formats, particularly when integrating data from sources stored outside of AWS. For example, handling AWS Data Lakes, Delta Lake, or Hadoop file formats stored in S3 requires extensive configuration and isn't always straightforward. It would be beneficial to streamline this process to ensure smoother migrations from non-AWS environments to AWS. As for additional functionality, I think enhancing support for these external file formats and simplifying configuration steps would be valuable improvements for the service."
"One area that AWS DMS can improve on is its conversion of data types. For example, in Oracle, you have a data type called RAW, but in PostgreSQL there is no such thing. Thus, AWS DMS doesn't know what type I want to use when migrating from Oracle to PostgreSQL, and when performing the migration, AWS DMS changed the RAW data type to the byte data type, which isn't what I wanted."
"If they had some sort of functionality where, at a specific point in time, if I want to start a new job, it should automatically pick up from where it has been left rather than having people worry about the exact job number and the timing."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Co>Operating System's pricing is on the expensive end since it tends to be used by big enterprises."
"The product is pretty expensive"
"AWS Database Migration Service is the least expensive solution, but is still expensive."
"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."
"For Egypt, the product's prices are high, making it a specific problem in one region and not globally."
"Cost is the only factor that is challenging."
"In terms of pricing, I'd rate it an eight out of ten, considering it's a well-priced solution."
"Pricing for the solution is reasonable, but could still be reduced."
"The solution’s pricing is reasonable."
