Centralizing database tables enhances workflow efficiency for ease of use
I was looking for some content as part of a comparison analysis. However, one of the pain points is that it is way too free-flowing. I have to skim through all the security pages to get to the crux of it. I was looking for a table that suggests which facets such services address with proofs of reference from professional conferences. The document is a 63-page read, making it very difficult to navigate without a summary. I was looking for a summary at the start, however, if I have to do it myself, I might as well integrate from AWS Docs and then Informative Exchange. The current document contains a lot of information, which is great, but there needs to be a summary indicating the story's essence. Unless there's a correction, it is not present in the document.

Integration solution proves maturity and drives productivity
There are many features we're using. We're starting to do AI now regarding integration with other platforms, focusing on creating integrations. A significant area for improvement is version control. Currently, you develop and cannot properly roll back to a previous version unless you create different versions. With proper version control, you could know which version to revert to and test other versions.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"DMS's architecture is highly beneficial, allowing for scalable migrations of large datasets."
"We have the ability to bring data for all tables of a database in one go, as long as the tables follow a particular naming convention."
"Scalable and stable solution for migrating databases to AWS, with valuable features such as parallel full load and continuous data replication."
"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."
"This efficient workflow has been particularly helpful."
"One of the features, I find most valuable is its ability to apply rules and transformations to data during real-time integration. This includes changing schema names or table structures on AWS without delaying the data flow. Initially, full migrations can vary widely in time depending on the source system; for instance, a large Magento database might take up to six months, while smaller databases like IBM DB2 could migrate within hours. Once set up, AWS DMS ensures real-time synchronization using Change Data Capture (CDC), maintaining data integrity throughout the process."
"The product's initial setup phase was very easy."
"It's very user-friendly and designed to be easy to use for the end user."
"We work on the flow between systems and the most valuable features for that purpose are the mapping of data, interface mapping, and data integration."
"The maturity of the product is significant."
"The integration landscape has become complex, and having a data strategy with unified data models would make integration easier for any platform, including Boomi."
"I like the tool's optimization feature."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its monitoring part to debug certain issues and find problems."
"The product's integration features are quite rich and low code. It is easy to use."
"Very effective with its drag-and-drop feature."
 

Cons

"This solution can offer more tweaks where the latency can be brought down to fifteen seconds."
"The product's performance could be a little bit better."
"There could be enhancements in the product intelligently covering more scenarios to prevent crashes or failures."
"The cost is a concern. We use DMS because of its simplicity, but the price could definitely be more competitive."
"As a solution, the better thing is if more platforms come with direct compatibility, like connecting to different data sources. The basic problem I faced the most was while transferring and reading data from Excel. So, one time, I found that all the components I had declared in my scripts were able to take it. And after some patching happens, it is not able to support that. Again, we need to update the version of Excel. So, it's not like a plug-in type place where you have done the solution and are confident that it will work. So, this is an area of improvement."
"There are a set of complexities and challenges when a user wants to integrate AWS products with Microsoft products."
"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."
"I was looking for a table that suggests which facets such services address with proofs of reference from professional conferences."
"The solution is complex. There's a few items and features that are hard to understand. They should work to simplify the functionality so new users don't struggle."
"There are more mature (dedicated) API management and master data management (MDM) solutions available in the market."
"There are very few string handling functions and few mathematical functions are available."
"Documentation could be improved."
"It crashes if we run high-volume integration."
"The API can use some work to come up to speed with the competition but Dell has plans and is working on resolving that."
"The product's UI could be more convenient."
"We encountered stability issues occasionally, one to two times a year."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"AWS Database Migration Service is the least expensive solution, but is still expensive."
"The pricing is on the higher side."
"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."
"For Egypt, the product's prices are high, making it a specific problem in one region and not globally."
"The solution’s pricing is reasonable."
"Pricing can be improved."
"The cost of the solution is in the neighborhood of $20,000 annually. There are no costs above the standard licensing fee."
"I rate the product's price an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"Approximately 20k annually."
"It is an expensive platform."
"The pricing is a bit complex. While the entry fee may be lower than other solutions, it could be expensive depending on your usage."
"They do not charge by the number of people using the software (client-server model), but rather they charge based on the number of connections used. This makes it very cost effective."
"The pricing is not reasonable at all. It's very high."
"When it comes to pricing, it's not so much about being less expensive as it is about how they don't tie to the hardware on the underlined VMware that you run on, as other vendors do"
