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."Support is helpful."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"The Schema Conversion Tool helps to covert the convertible objects and define the non-convertible objects"
"I am very impressed by the scalability of AWS Database Migration Service."
"We particularly like that this solution has the facility to integrate with all ETL tools."
"The solution is instantaneous. We can launch the service and reduce the end number of manpower."
"Scalable and stable solution for migrating databases to AWS, with valuable features such as parallel full load and continuous data replication."
"The database migration services allow us to do real-time synchronization of on-premise and database to plan out our releases."
"Fivetran's most valuable feature is replication."
"The most valuable feature of Fivetran is that it only synchronizes what needs to be synchronized."
"Making the decision to implement Fivetran was supported by the fact that they have better connectors than other competitors."
"The ease of usability is the most valuable feature. It's very easy and quick to set up. It also has a central hub as opposed to GoldenGate which is one direct interface. For GoldenGate I would have needed three interfaces whereas with HVR I have a central interface that manages everything."
"The product has some seamless connectors, which are readily available."
"Its arrays are powerful enough to handle migrations even when the replication is happening in the background, without causing any trouble with the ongoing traffic."
"Fivetran is remarkably easy to use; I haven't encountered any other data integration tool that is as user-friendly."
"The product is very easy to use and very easy to configure."
"Whatever solution worked today can not be reused in the next migration."
"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."
"I think that Amazon needs to improve the migration scenarios after analytics"
"Sometimes, the migration processes are not manageable"
"It would be helpful if the bandwidth could be independent of the network or if we could have a dedicated bandwidth for this product."
"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."
"If they had some sort of functionality where, at a specific point in time, if I want to start a new job, it should automatically pick up from where it has been left rather than having people worry about the exact job number and the timing."
"The server has limits on how many can connect to the database."
"I would like for them to incorporate additional transformations. A valuable aspect of the product is that it does inflight transformations and that could be expanded."
"HVR Software's technical support could be improved. Whenever we log a case, the response that we get from the support is a bit delayed."
"Fivetran would be improved by adding the ability to integrate the data from third-party APIs."
"The documentation can be laid out better to make it easier to find things, and I really wish there was built-in support for changing passwords. Some features don't work as advertised for the platform/repository database, and HVR is not always the fastest at getting results."
"I would like Fivetran to implement additional resource monitoring and restriction policies."
"Fivetran is very expensive for data sources with a lot of rows, such as email data. I would like to see cheaper pricing for data sources like that."
"We experience cost issues because Fivetran is charged on a usage basis. When you reach a certain level, the tool should focus on reducing the costs. The solution is expensive when you are moving gigabytes and petabytes of data. It should also focus more on REST APIs and webhooks."
"The environment must be more development-friendly."
