We performed a comparison between AWS Database Migration Service and Informatica PowerExchange 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 most valuable feature of the solution is the one I use for report generation. The security risk is very low."
"This solution is very good at mini-batch processing."
"Scalable and stable solution for migrating databases to AWS, with valuable features such as parallel full load and continuous data replication."
"The product is cheaper than all platforms"
"As the solution is on the cloud, we don't have to worry about the maintenance of software."
"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."
"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."
"Even if it does break down, it will automatically recover itself and resumes from where it stopped."
"From the product feature or product capability perspective, the aspects around integration, transformation, and standardization are valuable. It's fairly easy to use. It has a GUI-based interface."
"Provides a significant amount of control over the landscape and overall implementation."
"Overall, it's a good tool. It's currently number one on the market. It pretty much has all the necessary capabilities to pull the incremental data from the source system, technically speaking."
"The user interface and user experience are perfectly all right."
"It is a scalable and versatile solution."
"The scalability is excellent."
"It is easy to integrate the solution with other tools."
"The agentless RCDC enablement through PowerExchange is a great idea and has worked very well so far."
"There is no connectivity to the source database or the target database."
"Whatever solution worked today can not be reused in the next migration."
"The initial setup can be difficult for beginners in AWS Database Migration Service. You will need the training to complete it."
"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 server has limits on how many can connect to the database."
"Support could be more expedient. Right now I am waiting on support for an extension."
"The live duplication has a delay of two minutes, which can be an issue."
"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 would like the stability to improve."
"Informatica is very expensive in all aspects, so the pricing is something that could be improved."
"I would like to have easier integration with cloud platforms."
"The product's high costs can be an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Apache Spark has a machine learning algorithm, an area where Informatica PowerExchange lacks."
"The solution needs better integration with other tools."
"V10.2 is very stable, but we are still struggling to make V10.5 stable. We found services that were down, and PowerExchange stopped working."
"Real-time has not been enhanced that much over the past few years. There has not been as many features added like they did before."
