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.

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 tools are very user-friendly."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is its ability to get all the changes in our data and store that in an S3 bucket."
"It's scalable."
"This solution is very good at mini-batch processing."
"DMS's architecture is highly beneficial, allowing for scalable migrations of large datasets."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"This efficient workflow has been particularly helpful."
"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."
"Great features available in one tool."
"The solution provides an end-to-end integrated tech stack that takes care of all utility/infrastructure topics for you."
"Live video sessions enhance the available documentation and allow you to ask questions directly."
"The solution offers very good end-to-end capabilities."
"It is easy to map out a workflow and run trigger-based scripts without having to deploy to another server."
"The AI engine that comes with Palantir Foundry is quite interesting."
 

Cons

"The cost is a concern. We use DMS because of its simplicity, but the price could definitely be more competitive."
"Migrating from here and pushing the data from on-premise to AWS cloud is a big challenge and a few more services from AWS would be helpful. For example, we are currently using ILDB internet tools which move data from on-premise to the AWS cloud. A few more services would be really helpful for me to move the master data."
"This solution can offer more tweaks where the latency can be brought down to fifteen seconds."
"Support could be more expedient. Right now I am waiting on support for an extension."
"This solution is compatible with only AWS."
"The initial setup can be difficult for beginners in AWS Database Migration Service. You will need the training to complete it."
"We would like to see some improvement in the performance of large scale procedures, such as when we migrate from Oracle to csSQL."
"Sometimes we encounter errors, and the error messages from DMS are very ambiguous and sometimes misleading."
"The solution’s data security could be improved."
"If you want to create new models on specific data sets, computing that is quite costly."
"Some error messages can be very cryptic."
"It would be helpful to build applications based on Azure functions or web apps in Palantir Foundry."
"The solution's visualization and analysis could be improved."
"They do not have a data center in Europe, and we have lots of personally identifiable information in our dataset that needs to be hosted by a third-party data center like Amazon or Microsoft Azure."
"The solution could use more online documentation for new users."
"Cost of this solution is quite high."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"AWS Database Migration Service is very inexpensive."
"Pricing can be improved."
"The pricing can be better and it should be more competitive."
"Pricing for the solution is reasonable, but could still be reduced."
"AWS Database Migration Service is the least expensive solution, but is still expensive."
"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."
"The pricing is on the higher side."
"Palantir Foundry is an expensive solution."
"Palantir Foundry has different pricing models that can be negotiated."
