We performed a comparison between AWS Database Migration Service and Palantir Foundry 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."Even if it does break down, it will automatically recover itself and resumes from where it stopped."
"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 solution is stable and reliable."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"The Schema Conversion Tool helps to covert the convertible objects and define the non-convertible objects"
"We particularly like that this solution has the facility to integrate with all ETL tools."
"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."
"This solution is very good at mini-batch processing."
"It is easy to map out a workflow and run trigger-based scripts without having to deploy to another server."
"It's scalable."
"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."
"Great features available in one tool."
"Live video sessions enhance the available documentation and allow you to ask questions directly."
"The solution provides an end-to-end integrated tech stack that takes care of all utility/infrastructure topics for you."
"The solution offers very good end-to-end capabilities."
"There is no connectivity to the source database or the target database."
"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."
"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."
"The server has limits on how many can connect to the database."
"This solution is compatible with only AWS."
"The cost is a concern. We use DMS because of its simplicity, but the price could definitely be more competitive."
"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."
"The names of the services need improvement since AWS doesn't indicate what the function of the product is presently. You need to read a lot to find the service that you want in the product."
"The frontend capabilities of Palantir Foundry could be improved."
"The workflow could be improved."
"Difficult to receive data from external sources."
"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."
"It would be helpful to build applications based on Azure functions or web apps in Palantir Foundry."
"Some error messages can be very cryptic."
"It requires a lot of manual work and is very time-consuming to get to a functional point."
"The solution could use more online documentation for new users."
