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.

Senior Software Engineer at Tiger Analytics

Transparent with good reliability and good data visibility

The initial setup had a medium level of difficulty. If we go through the documentation, we can learn about what to do. In Palantir, they had a section called Academy, and that Academy was quite useful. If you go through that as a new user, it makes the process easier as you learn what to do. Initially, we didn't have many sources that would help us learn things, so we struggled a bit. In contrast, with Azure and Amazon Cloud, you have many sources from where you would be easily able to learn. You could just Google what you needed with them, as there's so much available documentation online. What was easy was the fact that everything was in one place. With AWS Cloud, there are many applications to support. You can use Glue or Athena, and you have all these other applications. However, with Palantir, everything is easy due to the fact that it is centralized. It's drag and drop and everything is very transparent.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The process is now simplified because there won't be maintenance. Usually we can take a snapshot of the number I need. We can automate the backup snapshots and we can restore it very quickly. We get many benefits from the application."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is the one I use for report generation. The security risk is very low."

"The Schema Conversion Tool helps to covert the convertible objects and define the non-convertible objects"

"The most valuable feature is its ability to get all the changes in our data and store that in an S3 bucket."

"The initial setup is very straightforward."

"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 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."

"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."

More AWS Database Migration Service pros

"The virtualization tool is useful."

"The solution offers very good end-to-end capabilities."

"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."

"The security is also excellent. It's highly granular, so the admins have a high degree of control, and there are many levels of security. That worked well. You won't have an EDC unless you put everything onto the platform because it is its own isolated thing."

"The interface is really user-friendly."

"It's scalable."

"Palantir Foundry is a robust platform that has really strong plugin connectors and provides features for real-time integration."

"Encapsulates all the components without the requirement to integrate or check compatibility."

More Palantir Foundry pros

Cons

"The live duplication has a delay of two minutes, which can be an issue."

"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."

"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."

"Sometimes we encounter errors, and the error messages from DMS are very ambiguous and sometimes misleading."

"There are a set of complexities and challenges when a user wants to integrate AWS products with Microsoft products."

"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."

"Support could be more expedient. Right now I am waiting on support for an extension."

"There is no connectivity to the source database or the target database."

More AWS Database Migration Service cons

"The data lineage was challenging. It's hard to track data from the sources as it moves through stages. Informatica EDC can easily capture and report it because it talks to the metadata. This is generated across those various staging points."

"The solution’s data security could be improved."

"Difficult to receive data from external sources."

"Cost of this solution is quite high."

"The workflow could be improved."

"It requires a lot of manual work and is very time-consuming to get to a functional point."

"If you want to create new models on specific data sets, computing that is quite costly."

"Compared to other hyperscalers, Palantir Foundry is complex and not so user-intuitive."

More Palantir Foundry cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution’s pricing is reasonable."

"The pricing can be better and it should be more competitive."

"The pricing is on the higher side."

"AWS Database Migration Service is very inexpensive."

"Pricing for the solution is reasonable, but could still be reduced."

"Pricing can be improved."

"In terms of pricing, I'd rate it an eight out of ten, considering it's a well-priced solution."

"The product is pretty expensive"

Overview

AWS Database Migration Service, also known as AWS DMS, is a cloud service that facilitates the migration of relational databases, NoSQL databases, data warehouses, and other types of data stores. The product can be used to migrate users' data into the AWS Cloud or between combinations of on-premises and cloud setups. The solution allows migration between a wide variety of sources and target endpoints; the only requirement is that one of the endpoints has to be an AWS service. AWS DMS cannot be used to migrate from an on-premises database to another on-premises database.

AWS Database Migration Service allows users to perform one-time migrations, as well as replications of ongoing changes to keep sources and targets in sync. Organizations can utilize the AWS Schema Conversion Tool to translate their database schema to a new platform and then use AWS DMS to migrate the data. The product offers cost efficiency as a part of the AWS Cloud, as well as speed to market, flexibility, and security.

The main use cases of AWS Database Migration Service include:

Migrating from legacy or on-premises databases to managed cloud services through a simplified migration process.
Reliable replication of backup files to minimize downtime and data loss.
Improvement of integration through building of data lakes and performing real-time processing on change data from users' data stores.

AWS Database Migration Service Components

AWS Database Migration Service consists of various components which function together to achieve users’ data migration. A migration on AWS DMS is structured in three levels: a replication instance, source and target endpoints, and a replication task. The components include the following actions:

Replication instance: AWS Database Migration Service provides users with a variety of replication instances, allowing them to select the optimal configuration for their use case. Depending on the instance class an organization selects, their replication instance provides a different amount of data storage.
Endpoint: AWS DMS uses an endpoint to access users' source or target data stores. The connection information is different and depends on the specific data store, but it usually consists of the following information: endpoint type, engine type, server name, port, encryption, and credentials. This information can easily be managed through the AWS DMS console.
Replication tasks: AWS Database Migration Service replication tasks can be used to move a set of data from the source endpoint to the target endpoint. The creation of a replication task is the last required step before starting a migration. Each replication task requires the following settings to be set: replication instance, source endpoint, target endpoint, and migration type options.
Ongoing replication or change data capture (CDC): AWS DMS also has the capacity to capture ongoing changes to the source that is stored while users migrate their data to a target.
Schema and code migration: The product requires assistance from tools such as MySQL Workbench, pgAdmin III, and Oracle SQL Developer to perform schema or code conversion, as it cannot do it on its own.

AWS Database Migration Service Benefits

AWS Database Migration Service offers its users a wide range of benefits. Among them are the following:

The solution ensures minimal downtime, as it continuously replicates the changes to the user’s source database during migration.
AWS DMS provides users with flexibility, as it supports many commonly used databases, including commercial and open-source ones.
The product is user friendly, as it offers an easy set of tasks in the AWS Management Console.
Users of Aurora, Redshift, DocumentDB, and DynamoDB can benefit from the free use of AWS DMS.
AWS Database Migration Service is very reliable because it is a self-healing service that automatically restarts in cases of interruptions.
The product supports both homogenous migrations and heterogenous migrations.
AWS DMS accelerates business growth, as it scales businesses at an affordable price.
