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

"I am very impressed by the scalability of AWS Database Migration Service."
"Support is helpful."
"The solution is instantaneous. We can launch the service and reduce the end number of manpower."
"DMS's architecture is highly beneficial, allowing for scalable migrations of large datasets."
"The initial setup is simple. Not that much complex."
"This efficient workflow has been particularly helpful."
"I like that I can focus on the logic and I don't have to worry about the administration stuff. AWS handles that for me."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"Extremely flexible for any kind of integration between systems."
"The Salesforce and NetSuite Application specific “connectors” provide a layer of abstraction on top of the SOAP-based APIs to streamline integration development."
"The integration landscape has become complex, and having a data strategy with unified data models would make integration easier for any platform, including Boomi."
"It is a low-code and high-configuration platform, which is very valuable. Develop once and run anywhere is another useful feature. It also has connectors for more than 200 applications. It provides value for money. Our customers who have implemented this solution have a very high ROI."
"Boomi iPaaS has significantly impacted our ROI. We have automated complete order-to-cash processes for multiple customers, saving over 90 million dollars."
"The tool's most valuable features I've found are related to debugging and testing. It makes it easy to track execution, documents, and process history. This functionality is particularly useful for identifying issues with data and providing insights to the business."
"It's very user-friendly and designed to be easy to use for the end user."
"The product's integration features are quite rich and low code. It is easy to use."
 

Cons

"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."
"I think that Amazon needs to improve the migration scenarios after analytics"
"What needs improvement in AWS Database Migration Service is that it lacks a log file validation feature. If the solution could provide more details about a particular transaction, that would be helpful. The stability of AWS Database Migration Service for online CDC records also needs to be improved."
"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."
"The performance of data migration could be smoother."
"We would like to see some improvement in the performance of large scale procedures, such as when we migrate from Oracle to csSQL."
"Whatever solution worked today can not be reused in the next migration."
"The cost is a concern. We use DMS because of its simplicity, but the price could definitely be more competitive."
"There is no validation in the mapping profile custom scripting, such as IntelliSense or advanced error checking."
"There are very few string handling functions and few mathematical functions are available."
"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."
"In day-to-day operations, tracking transactions is a major challenge. It takes hours to track a single transaction. It is not a straightforward process."
"There are still some areas that need improvement. For example, when updates are going on, the product becomes very slow."
"Have to create some of our own pre-built connectors."
"Although Boomi iPaaS is top in the market, there might be room for improvement in the ETL aspect, which was recently integrated as another module. This aspect of Boomi iPaaS is not mature enough at the moment."
"Lots of enhancements are needed in the API portal so that the developers can view the definitions, try out the APIs, etc."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"In terms of pricing, I'd rate it an eight out of ten, considering it's a well-priced solution."
"AWS Database Migration Service is very inexpensive."
"The pricing is on the higher side."
"I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten."
"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."
"Cost is the only factor that is challenging."
"Pricing for the solution is reasonable, but could still be reduced."
"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."
"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."
"There could be an easy-to-understand licensing model."
"The Platinum package is good for licensing, but I’m not sure about the cost and improvements."
"It is an expensive platform."
"Boomi AtomSphere Integration is a relatively cheap and cost-effective product compared to other products like SAP or Oracle."
"This solution is very economical (based on the connections)."
"The pricing is not reasonable at all. It's very high."
"The licensing model of Dell Boomi is based on a ‘pay-per-use’ model."
