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."
"I am very impressed by the scalability of AWS Database Migration Service."
"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 product is cheaper than all platforms"
"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."
"This solution is very good at mini-batch processing."
"AWS Database Migration Service is good for smaller workloads and provides compatibility."
"As the solution is on the cloud, we don't have to worry about the maintenance of software."
"It has the ability to be deployed into the cloud through Data Factory, and run completely as a software as a service in the cloud."
"The most valuable features of SSIS are that it works with the query language and it can import data from different sources."
"It is easy to set up. The deployment is also very quick."
"The initial setup was easy."
"Overall, it's a good product."
"The setup is straightforward. It's very easy to install."
"The setup was easy. All Microsoft products are easy to set up."
"The ability of SSIS to transform and transport data is extremely valuable to me. It allows for intelligent extraction and manipulation of data during the process. Improved error handling would enhance ETL processes further. I haven't directly utilized the data flow components but they seem capable of supporting complex data integration needs."
"There are a set of complexities and challenges when a user wants to integrate AWS products with Microsoft products."
"The live duplication has a delay of two minutes, which can be an issue."
"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 way that the task settings work, specifically for logging, is really poor."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"I would like to see more standard components out of the box, such as SFTP, and Data Compression components."
"The solution could improve by having quicker release updates."
"Improvement as per customer requirements."
"A change in the metadata source cripples the whole ETL process, requiring each module to be manually reopened."
"It hangs a lot of the time."
"It's difficult to refactor SSIS. It gets cumbersome to reuse the solution."
"The debugging could be improved because when it came to solving the errors that I've experienced in the past, I've had to look at the documentation for more information."
"Options for scaling could be improved."
