We performed a comparison between AWS Database Migration Service and SAP Data Services 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 database migration services allow us to do real-time synchronization of on-premise and database to plan out our releases."
"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."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"It's scalable."
"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 simple. Not that much complex."
"The installation is easy."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the one I use for report generation. The security risk is very low."
"The maintenance of data services is the solution's most valuable feature."
"It is a powerful product with a broad range of features."
"The most valuable feature is the ETL functionality."
"Its integration capabilities and the data migration capabilities are the most valuable. It is very good for SAP and non-SAP tools. It has very good integration with SAP, but it also has the capabilities to connect to other systems. We find it very helpful and stable."
"You can always manipulate a lot of things as long as you have the skill level."
"The solution is easy to use since it's a graphical tool. It also requires only low-level coding."
"The user interface is ok."
"The solution offers very good integration capabilities."
"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."
"This solution can offer more tweaks where the latency can be brought down to fifteen seconds."
"Support could be more expedient. Right now I am waiting on support for an extension."
"This solution is compatible with only AWS."
"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."
"Whatever solution worked today can not be reused in the next migration."
"We would like to see some improvement in the performance of large scale procedures, such as when we migrate from Oracle to csSQL."
"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."
"Data Services SAP is lacking in sources and target databases compared to Informatica. SAP Data Services should have more connectivity."
"An area for improvement in SAP Data Services could involve making the product more accessible to non-technical end-users."
"It would be nice if this solution was a bit easier to move from development to production."
"The solution could improve the overall features. There is a lot that can be done in the solution, therefor there are areas where it can improve. Additionally, there is a need to make it easier for one to create connections to other non-SAP systems. The flexibility to connect to other non-SAP systems is needed."
"There needs to be multi-language support, however, my understanding is they are working on multi-language now."
"We would like the different tools offered within this solution to be available as standalone entities, rather than having to purchase the entire package when we only require a few features."
"It's an ETL that is very good with relational databases but not as good with files and semi-structured files."
"We encounter challenges while exporting implemented rules, such as those applied to objects like the material master, into a format like Excel for documentation and further analysis."
