Straightforward to set up with easy of capturing database changes and secure storage
We are setting up CDT jobs to get database changes from AWS RDS. We are not really migrating anything, but we get the changes from our source RDS instance and save it as a file in an S3 bucket For our continuity planning, we need all the history happening in the source database because AWS source…

An integration platform that enables you to automate tasks by connecting apps and services
Follow best practices,engage in their professional services to help build your messaging system and to be PR have some PR emphasis and and blue Bluegreen deployment You could take half your your clusters out, upgrade them, and put them back in so you have a quick callback. And also patch quarterly, we got we got downbound. And and at that point, it's a little hard to get into the cycle when you're releasing software every every week, and you're trying to, go through an upgrade seven fifty servers, it's a little hard to get into the upgrade flow when when you're running that tight. I rate the overall solution an eight 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 database migration services allow us to do real-time synchronization of on-premise and database to plan out our releases."
"The product's initial setup phase was very easy."
"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 solution is stable and reliable."
"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."
"It's pretty useful when we need to migrate something big from a different type of database that AWS Data Migration Services supports."
"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."
"It has a good integration server, designer, and a very good API portal."
"EDI is robust and integration with SAP is good."
"This solution has given us a competitive advantage because we have better automation and insight."
"The product is very stable."
"They are the building blocks of EAI in SAG products, and they offer a very good platform."
"The solution has a very comprehensive and versatile set of connectors. I've been able to utilize it for multiple, different mechanisms. We do a lot of SaaS and we do have IoT devices and the solution is comprehensive in those areas."
"The comprehensiveness and depth of Integration Servers' connectors to packaged apps and custom apps is unlimited. They have a connector for everything. If they don't, you can build it yourself. Or oftentimes, if there is value for other customers as well, you can talk with webMethods about creating a new adapter for you."
"The most valuable feature of webMethods Integration Server is all the capabilities it provides. We leverage most of the features, that they have offered to us. Our vendor has made some additional features on top of the webMethods Integration Server and we use all the features together."
 

Cons

"The initial setup can be difficult for beginners in AWS Database Migration Service. You will need the training to complete it."
"The product's performance could be a little bit better."
"The cost is a concern. We use DMS because of its simplicity, but the price could definitely be more competitive."
"There is no connectivity to the source database or the target database."
"Sometimes, the migration processes are not manageable"
"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."
"This solution is compatible with only AWS."
"The solution’s scalability and performance could be improved."
"I would like to have a dashboard where I can see all of the communication between components and the configuration."
"Some things could be improved, especially how ActiveTransfer handles third-party file transfers. It would be nice to have a native file-watching mechanism for when you're scheduling jobs with a third-party scheduler. Currently, we are using an outside file watcher solution to check the files before the file transfer. It checks the location to see if the file is there. If the file is there, it will prepare it for transfer. If the file isn't available, it will send an email it can create a ticket send it now. We recommended adding this file watcher mechanism."
"Support is expensive."
"The logging capability has room for improvement. That way, we could keep a history of all the transactions. It would be helpful to be able to get to that without having to build a standalone solution to do so."
"It would be nice if they had a change management system offering. We built our own deployer application because the one built into webMethods couldn't enforce change management rules. Integration into a change management system, along with the version control system, would be a good offering; it's something that they're lacking."
"It could be more user-friendly."
"The installation process should be simplified for first time users and be made more user-friendly."
"The UI for the admin console is very old. It hasn't been updated for years and is pretty much the same one that we started with. This is something that could be refreshed and made more modern."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten."
"The pricing can be better and it should be more competitive."
"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."
"Cost is the only factor that is challenging."
"Pricing can be improved."
"The solution’s pricing is reasonable."
"AWS Database Migration Service is very inexpensive."
"For Egypt, the product's prices are high, making it a specific problem in one region and not globally."
"Most of my clients would like the price of the solution to be reduced."
"It is expensive, but we reached a good agreement with the company. It is still a little bit expensive, but we got a better deal than the previous one."
"It's a good deal for the money that we pay."
"There is a license needed to use the webMethods Integration Server."
"Always plan five years ahead and don’t jeopardize the quality of your project by dropping items from the bill of materials."
"I do think webMethods is coming under increasing pressure when it comes to their price-to-feature value proposition. It's probably the single biggest strategic risk they have. They're very expensive in their industry. They've been raising the price recently, especially when compared with their competitors."
"The price is high and I give it a five out of ten."
"It is an expensive tool. I rate the product price a nine out of ten, where ten means it is very expensive."
