Avinash Gangu - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Rama Subba Reddy Thavva - PeerSpot reviewer
A low-code/no-code platform with a user-friendly UI
We couldn't implement or use some of the latest functionalities, like Spark. Palantir Foundry is scalable, but it is costly compared to other cloud providers. The solution is more suitable for small and medium businesses. It might be difficult for large enterprises. I rate the solution’s scalability a seven out of ten.

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"
"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."
"The initial setup is simple. Not that much complex."
"AWS Database Migration Service is good for smaller workloads and provides compatibility."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the one I use for report generation. The security risk is very low."
"Even if it does break down, it will automatically recover itself and resumes from where it stopped."
"The ease of use is my favorite feature. We're able to build different models and projects or combine different projects to build one use case."
"Live video sessions enhance the available documentation and allow you to ask questions directly."
"Encapsulates all the components without the requirement to integrate or check compatibility."
"Palantir Foundry is a robust platform that has really strong plugin connectors and provides features for real-time integration."
"I like the data onboarding to Palantir Foundry and ETL creation."
"It is easy to map out a workflow and run trigger-based scripts without having to deploy to another server."
"The virtualization tool is useful."
"Great features available in one tool."
 

Cons

"The live duplication has a delay of two minutes, which can be an issue."
"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."
"There are a set of complexities and challenges when a user wants to integrate AWS products with Microsoft products."
"The cost is a concern. We use DMS because of its simplicity, but the price could definitely be more competitive."
"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."
"The initial setup can be difficult for beginners in AWS Database Migration Service. You will need the training to complete it."
"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."
"Support could be more expedient. Right now I am waiting on support for an extension."
"It would be helpful to build applications based on Azure functions or web apps in Palantir Foundry."
"The major hindrance with Palantir Foundry is that being a very closed product, the cost optimization and costing are not exposed to the end users."
"Difficult to receive data from external sources."
"The frontend capabilities of Palantir Foundry could be improved."
"The startup pricing is high, causing concern despite being cost-effective in terms of total cost of ownership."
"Cost of this solution is quite high."
"The workflow could be improved."
"The solution could use more online documentation for new users."
 

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."
"Cost is the only factor that is challenging."
"The solution’s pricing is reasonable."
"Pricing can be improved."
"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."
"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 the least expensive solution, but is still expensive."
"The pricing can be better and it should be more competitive."
"Palantir Foundry is an expensive solution."
"It's expensive."
"Palantir Foundry has different pricing models that can be negotiated."
