A stable, scalable, and reliable solution for moving and processing data
We're only considering enhancing the presentation layer to give a more multidimensional OLAP view that AWS seems to have decided on. Redshift with the data mart structure is like an OLAP cube. Oracle Analytics Cloud is an over-code killer and is not what we need. I was looking at Mondrian, which used to be part of the open-source stack from another vendor that works. Still, I am also looking at some of the other OLAP environments like Kaiser and perhaps decided to go to Azure with Microsoft Azure analysis cloud, but that's not multidimensional either as SSAS used to be. We tried the Mondrian, and that didn't perform how we expected. So, we are looking at resetting something to perform as an OLAP in the cloud, particularly AWS, so that we might consider an Azure solution.

Straightforward to set up with easy of capturing database changes and secure storage
Sometimes we encounter errors, and the error messages from DMS are very ambiguous and sometimes misleading. For example, if we connect to an incorrect instance with incorrect setups, it will not say the connection failed. Instead, it says the DMS task failed with an unclear error message like 'subtask AWS failed', which does not help. The connection should fail if we are connecting to the wrong instance, but the endpoint connection still succeeds.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that orchestration and development capabilities are easier with the tool."
"The process is now simplified because there won't be maintenance. Usually we can take a snapshot of the number I need. We can automate the backup snapshots and we can restore it very quickly. We get many benefits from the application."
"It's pretty useful when we need to migrate something big from a different type of database that AWS Data Migration Services supports."
"AWS Database Migration Service is good for smaller workloads and provides compatibility."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the one I use for report generation. The security risk is very low."
"The most valuable feature of AWS Database Migration Service is it catches all the history changes, such as inset, observe, and delete. It tracks everything."
"The database migration services allow us to do real-time synchronization of on-premise and database to plan out our releases."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
 

Cons

"It's almost semi-automatic because you must review and approve code push, which works well. Still, we had many problems getting there during the deployment process, but we got there."
"The user-defined functions have shortcomings in AWS Data Pipeline."
"The solution’s scalability and performance could be improved."
"It would be helpful if the bandwidth could be independent of the network or if we could have a dedicated bandwidth for this product."
"There are a set of complexities and challenges when a user wants to integrate AWS products with Microsoft products."
"We would like to see some improvement in the performance of large scale procedures, such as when we migrate from Oracle to csSQL."
"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."
"The server has limits on how many can connect to the database."
"The performance of data migration could be smoother."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the pricing between six to eight on a scale from one to ten, where one is low price, and ten is high price."
"The way we use it, I think it is fair as we're getting a good value for money compared to having a server or some other data pipeline."
"The product is pretty expensive"
"For Egypt, the product's prices are high, making it a specific problem in one region and not globally."
"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."
"I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten."
"The pricing is per hour, though I do not have the exact figures. If you have specific questions about the service, a personal support team from Amazon is available, but this will bring in additional costs."
"Cost is the only factor that is challenging."
"Pricing for the solution is reasonable, but could still be reduced."
"The pricing is on the higher side."
