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.
SumitTiwary - PeerSpot reviewer
A cost-effective and easy-to-use tool that needs to introduce AI features
Oracle GoldenGate Cloud Service is easy to use, and currently, it has become more easy to understand compared to its previous version. Opting for an on-premises tool is something for which we have to spend money, but Oracle GoldenGate Cloud Service offers services in a very cost-effective manner. Features like getting the backup of a system or making any updates are areas that are much easier to handle. It is a tool that you can directly move from production to UAT, after which you can make your changes and move it back to production if everything is fine, and that too without any downtime.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product is cheaper than all platforms"
"Support is helpful."
"As the solution is on the cloud, we don't have to worry about the maintenance of software."
"The initial setup is simple. Not that much complex."
"What I like about AWS Database Migration Service is that it's a good product that allows you to migrate terabytes of data. My team was able to migrate almost 16TB of data using AWS Database Migration Service. The solution works fine for my use case."
"We particularly like that this solution has the facility to integrate with all ETL tools."
"The Schema Conversion Tool helps to covert the convertible objects and define the non-convertible objects"
"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."
"This has significantly eased the process of migration from on-premise to cloud. Instead of configuring everything from the ground up, the Oracle GoldenGate Cloud Service has made it seamless to build and render databases in cloud."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"We are heavily involved with GitHub for managing repositories, automatic deployments, and inner source projects."
"GoldenGate can aggregate various data types from different sources."
"GoldenGate's best features are the desktop security features."
 

Cons

"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."
"The solution’s scalability and performance could be improved."
"Support could be more expedient. Right now I am waiting on support for an extension."
"I think that Amazon needs to improve the migration scenarios after analytics"
"It would be helpful if the bandwidth could be independent of the network or if we could have a dedicated bandwidth for this product."
"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."
"The initial setup was a little complex, and we required support from Oracle to complete it."
"Oracle is always adding new features. I can't think of anything that's urgent currently."
"More technical documentation is needed, especially in terms of mapping and conversion of data, while integration would also be very helpful."
"Support could be improved. They lack knowledge."
"Oracle GoldenGate Cloud Service lacks AI. If AI gets introduced in Oracle GoldenGate Cloud Service, it would be much easier to do analysis."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing can be improved."
"Pricing for the solution is reasonable, but could still be reduced."
"Cost is the only factor that is challenging."
"I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten."
"For Egypt, the product's prices are high, making it a specific problem in one region and not globally."
"The pricing is on the higher side."
"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."
"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."
"I rate the product price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
