We performed a comparison between AWS Database Migration Service and SnapLogic 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 features of the AWS Database Migration Service are the ease of migration, beneficial storage system, security, and simple instance creation. Additionally, the cloud that is provided is more complete than other solutions."
"Scalable and stable solution for migrating databases to AWS, with valuable features such as parallel full load and continuous data replication."
"I am very impressed by the scalability of AWS Database Migration Service."
"If your infrastructure is already on Amazon, it simply makes the most sense to use a tool officially provided by them as an additional service, rather than having to rely on a third-party solution."
"The tools are very user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the one I use for report generation. The security risk is very low."
"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 initial setup is very straightforward."
"It's more developer-friendly, and development can be done at a faster phase."
"You can use other languages, such as Python, and easily connect to other systems."
"The solutions ability to connect "snaps" or components to the graphic user interface is very intuitive, prevents errors, and makes implementations easy."
"The solution could improve its API management."
"By using snaps instead of functions in code, you can see the building blocks of the integration visually. This helps a lot."
"The API architecture makes it easy for orchestration."
"The product is easy to use and has many connectivity options."
"The solution is easy to implement and easy to use. It's basically just drag and drop."
"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 solution’s scalability and performance could be improved."
"The performance of data migration could be smoother."
"The live duplication has a delay of two minutes, which can be an issue."
"This solution can offer more tweaks where the latency can be brought down to fifteen seconds."
"The cost is a concern. We use DMS because of its simplicity, but the price could definitely be more competitive."
"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."
"This solution is compatible with only AWS."
"It needs some more snaps. I would like to see some of the features be changed in some of the snaps."
"The dashboards regarding scheduled tasks need further improvement."
"Connecting to data behind enterprise firewalls has been tricky."
"I am looking for more scheduling options. When it comes to scheduling, there are different tools in the market."
"The problem is that SnapLogic doesn't offer a wide variety of connectors. For example, integrating with Salesforce is not that easy."
"I don't think the support has better knowledge about technologies and tool support. There were lots of times when we had an issue, and it took me quite a long time to explain the problem. I feel like some of the support staff don't know their product well."
"SnapLogic sits somewhere in the middle. It doesn’t offer enough easy canned integrations for its users like some of the easier to use integration apps."
"What could be improved in SnapLogic is that it was not capable in terms of processing a large number of datasets, but at that point, SnapLogic was evolving. It didn't give a lot of Snaps. I heard recently there are a lot of Snaps getting added and the solution was being enhanced, particularly to connect different data sources. When I was working with SnapLogic six months to one year back, I faced the issue of it not being capable of handling a huge volume of datasets or didn't have much of Snaps, and that was the drawback. If there is any large number of data sets, that's based on or depends on your configuration. If it is a huge volume of data, other traditional ETL tools such as Informatica and Talend can process millions and billions of records, while in SnapLogic, the Snaplex fails or it returns an error in terms of processing that huge volume of data. Informatica, Talend, or any other ETL tool can run for hours in terms of jobs, while SnapLogic jobs fail when the threshold is reached. SnapLogic isn't able to withstand processing, but I don't know if that's still an issue at present, because the solution is getting enhanced and it's been more than six months to one year since I last worked with SnapLogic. There are now a lot of Snaps getting added to the solution, and if it can overcome the limitations I mentioned, SnapLogic could be the go-to tool because currently, it's not being used as much in organizations. It's being used comparatively less compared to other retail tools."
