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

"Even if it does break down, it will automatically recover itself and resumes from where it stopped."
"This efficient workflow has been particularly helpful."
"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."
"The product is cheaper than all platforms"
"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 product's initial setup phase was very easy."
"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 tools are very user-friendly."
"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."
"I really appreciate the on-the-go access through the browser and the B2B integration."
"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."
"The connection configuration part and the drag-and-drop integration module are the most valuable features for me."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"AtomSphere Integration will suit those looking for small automation and simple integrations."
"Boomi AtomSphere Integration is stable."
"The platform is user-friendly."
 

Cons

"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."
"The server has limits on how many can connect to the database."
"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."
"When working with AWS GovCloud, we often did not get an answer in time because AWS seemed more focused on the commercial side."
"The initial setup can be difficult for beginners in AWS Database Migration Service. You will need the training to complete it."
"The names of the services need improvement since AWS doesn't indicate what the function of the product is presently. You need to read a lot to find the service that you want in the product."
"The live duplication has a delay of two minutes, which can be an issue."
"AWS Database Migration Service can become complex when testing. Other solutions, such as Microsoft Azure makes it easy to do. There are more steps to complete tasks in AWS Database Migration Service than in Microsoft Azure."
"It is a costly platform. Its pricing could be better."
"The API can use some work to come up to speed with the competition but Dell has plans and is working on resolving that."
"We encountered stability issues occasionally, one to two times a year."
"They should create a custom connector option. With this, they could improve where the user can create the connector, based on their usage."
"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."
"There should be more scripting possibilities."
"We would like to see more involvement between Dell Boomi and the end-users to help improve the customer experience."
"Documentation could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"For Egypt, the product's prices are high, making it a specific problem in one region and not globally."
"The pricing can be better and it should be more competitive."
"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."
"In terms of pricing, I'd rate it an eight out of ten, considering it's a well-priced solution."
"The pricing is on the higher side."
"AWS Database Migration Service is the least expensive solution, but is still expensive."
"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."
"AtomSphere Integration's pricing is competitive, and I would rate it seven out of ten."
"The licensing model of Dell Boomi is based on a ‘pay-per-use’ model."
"Boomi AtomSphere Integration is a relatively cheap and cost-effective product compared to other products like SAP or Oracle."
"The pricing is not reasonable at all. It's very high."
"Boomi AtomSphere Integration is expensive. I rate its pricing an eight out of ten."
"There could be an easy-to-understand licensing model."
"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."
"Approximately 20k annually."
