Find out what your peers are saying about Amazon Web Services (AWS), MuleSoft, Matillion and others in Cloud Data Integration."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."
"Support is helpful."
"The solution is instantaneous. We can launch the service and reduce the end number of manpower."
"The most valuable feature of AWS Database Migration Service is it catches all the history changes, such as inset, observe, and delete. It tracks everything."
"The installation is easy."
"It's pretty useful when we need to migrate something big from a different type of database that AWS Data Migration Services supports."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"Even if it does break down, it will automatically recover itself and resumes from where it stopped."
"I have worked with DB2's great features in the last five years. The IDAA feature transformed the vision of warehousing, business analytics, and big data at my bank. Besides the mainframe, I saw that this solution was evolutionary. It gives real-time information."
"BMC Data Management improved our data recovery process by simplifying it."
"The solution’s scalability and performance could be improved."
"The initial setup can be difficult for beginners in AWS Database Migration Service. You will need the training to complete it."
"This solution can offer more tweaks where the latency can be brought down to fifteen seconds."
"The way that the task settings work, specifically for logging, is really poor."
"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 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."
"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."
"It would be helpful if the bandwidth could be independent of the network or if we could have a dedicated bandwidth for this product."
"DB2 is a hard tool to grasp. It's hard for users to learn how to use it. It's not easy to see how it works."
"One area for improvement with this product could be in providing clearer guidance and tools for disaster recovery planning and execution."
