Find out what your peers are saying about Amazon Web Services (AWS), MuleSoft, Matillion and others in Cloud Data Integration."The product is cheaper than all platforms"
"AWS Database Migration Service is good for smaller workloads and provides compatibility."
"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 most valuable feature of the solution is the one I use for report generation. The security risk is very low."
"The product's initial setup phase was very easy."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"The initial setup is simple. Not that much complex."
"This solution is very good at mini-batch processing."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its amazing capabilities in regard to data handling."
"The solution is very stable."
"The solution offers very good data manipulation and loading."
"We would like to see some improvement in the performance of large scale procedures, such as when we migrate from Oracle to csSQL."
"The performance of data migration could be smoother."
"The initial setup can be difficult for beginners in AWS Database Migration Service. You will need the training to complete it."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Support could be more expedient. Right now I am waiting on support for an extension."
"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 transform tool has limited access. They should make it more flexible."
"The initial setup of SAS Data Integration Server was complex."
"So I would like to see improved integration with other software."
