We performed a comparison between AWS Database Migration Service and Oracle GoldenGate Cloud Service based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud Data Integration solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The initial setup is simple. Not that much complex."
"The database migration services allow us to do real-time synchronization of on-premise and database to plan out our releases."
"The Schema Conversion Tool helps to covert the convertible objects and define the non-convertible objects"
"AWS Database Migration Service is good for smaller workloads and provides compatibility."
"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 initial setup is very straightforward."
"As the solution is on the cloud, we don't have to worry about the maintenance of software."
"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."
"GoldenGate can aggregate various data types from different sources."
"GoldenGate's best features are the desktop security features."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"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."
"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."
"The cost is a concern. We use DMS because of its simplicity, but the price could definitely be more competitive."
"Whatever solution worked today can not be reused in the next migration."
"This solution is compatible with only AWS."
"There is no connectivity to the source database or the target database."
"As a solution, the better thing is if more platforms come with direct compatibility, like connecting to different data sources. The basic problem I faced the most was while transferring and reading data from Excel. So, one time, I found that all the components I had declared in my scripts were able to take it. And after some patching happens, it is not able to support that. Again, we need to update the version of Excel. So, it's not like a plug-in type place where you have done the solution and are confident that it will work. So, this is an area of improvement."
"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."
"AWS Database Migration Service can become complex when testing. Other solutions, such as Microsoft Azure makes it easy to do. There are more steps to complete tasks in AWS Database Migration Service than in Microsoft Azure."
"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."
"Oracle GoldenGate Cloud Service lacks AI. If AI gets introduced in Oracle GoldenGate Cloud Service, it would be much easier to do analysis."
"More technical documentation is needed, especially in terms of mapping and conversion of data, while integration would also be very helpful."
