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

"The most valuable features of the AWS Database Migration Service are the ease of migration, beneficial storage system, security, and simple instance creation. Additionally, the cloud that is provided is more complete than other solutions."
"As the solution is on the cloud, we don't have to worry about the maintenance of software."
"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 database migration services allow us to do real-time synchronization of on-premise and database to plan out our releases."
"We particularly like that this solution has the facility to integrate with all ETL tools."
"It's scalable."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"The product's initial setup phase was very easy."
"The platform is user-friendly."
"The Salesforce and NetSuite Application specific “connectors” provide a layer of abstraction on top of the SOAP-based APIs to streamline integration development."
"The iPaaS functionality is very mature. The browser based IDE is also very mature and stable."
"Low-code development is the most valuable feature."
"It is easy to learn and implement."
"It's very user-friendly and designed to be easy to use for the end user."
"I have found the solution to be scalable."
"Very effective with its drag-and-drop feature."
 

Cons

"We would like to see some improvement in the performance of large scale procedures, such as when we migrate from Oracle to csSQL."
"When working with AWS GovCloud, we often did not get an answer in time because AWS seemed more focused on the commercial side."
"More endpoints need to be supported by AWS Database Migration Service. There's also a need for more control and transparency on the product, including better technical support."
"The server has limits on how many can connect to the database."
"The initial setup can be difficult for beginners in AWS Database Migration Service. You will need the training to complete it."
"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."
"This solution can offer more tweaks where the latency can be brought down to fifteen seconds."
"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."
"Boomi AtomSphere Integration should scale up on the migration area."
"In my experience, I haven't encountered any major issues with the tool. However, there could be a learning curve for new users, especially depending on which tool you're using. For example, I've used MuleSoft in the past, which is more code-oriented and requires knowledge of Java. Transitioning to Boomi AtomSphere Integration took me a couple of months because of differences in terminology."
"They should create a custom connector option. With this, they could improve where the user can create the connector, based on their usage."
"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."
"The deployment was simple, but the implementation is missing a lot of capabilities."
"The API can use some work to come up to speed with the competition but Dell has plans and is working on resolving that."
"They need to introduce more configurable functions to remove scripting or coding. Scripting should be minimized. It should have exhaustive functions. Currently, it lacks in this aspect."
"We encountered stability issues occasionally, one to two times a year."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing for the solution is reasonable, but could still be reduced."
"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."
"Pricing can be improved."
"The pricing is on the higher side."
"AWS Database Migration Service is very inexpensive."
"The solution’s pricing is reasonable."
"The pricing can be better and it should be more competitive."
"This solution is very economical (based on the connections)."
"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"
"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."
"The cost of the solution is in the neighborhood of $20,000 annually. There are no costs above the standard licensing fee."
"Boomi AtomSphere Integration is expensive. I rate its pricing an eight out of ten."
"Approximately 20k annually."
"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."
