We performed a comparison between AWS Database Migration Service and webMethods Integration Server 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."AWS Database Migration Service is good for smaller workloads and provides compatibility."
"It's scalable."
"We particularly like that this solution has the facility to integrate with all ETL tools."
"The product is cheaper than all platforms"
"I like that I can focus on the logic and I don't have to worry about the administration stuff. AWS handles that for me."
"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 most valuable feature of the solution is the one I use for report generation. The security risk is very low."
"The process is now simplified because there won't be maintenance. Usually we can take a snapshot of the number I need. We can automate the backup snapshots and we can restore it very quickly. We get many benefits from the application."
"The ease of mapping... is the single largest feature. It gives us the ability to craft anything. A lot of single-purpose technologies, like Mirth, are good for healthcare messages, but we use webMethods not only for healthcare messages but for other business-related purposes, like integrations to Salesforce or integrations to Office 365. It's multi-purpose nature is very strong."
"The product is very stable."
"Segregation of deployment for the environments is the most valuable feature of the solution."
"It's obvious that the heart of the product lies here. It's comprised of all aspects of ESB (Enterprise Gateway, Adapter, TN, Java) and BPM (task, rules engine)."
"It frankly fills the gap between IT and business by having approval and policy enforcement on each state and cycle of the asset from the moment it gets created until it is retired."
"I feel comfortable using this product with its ease of building interfaces for developers. This is a better integration tool for integrating with various applications like Oracle, Salesforce, mainframes, etc. It works fine in the integration of legacy software as well."
"We have a reusable code that we can replicate for any new interfaces."
"The most valuable feature of the webMethods Integration Server is the built-in monitoring, auditing, RETS, and SOAP services."
"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."
"This solution can offer more tweaks where the latency can be brought down to fifteen seconds."
"It would be helpful if the bandwidth could be independent of the network or if we could have a dedicated bandwidth for this 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."
"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."
"There are a set of complexities and challenges when a user wants to integrate AWS products with Microsoft products."
"The solution’s scalability and performance could be improved."
"There is no connectivity to the source database or the target database."
"We need more dashboards and reporting engines that can provide detailed information for management. In short, we need better analytics."
"Technical support is an area where they can improve."
"Upgrades are complex. They typically take about five months from start to finish. There are many packages that plug into webMethods Integration Server, which is the central point for a vast majority of the transactions at my organization. Anytime we are upgrading that, there are complexities within each component that we must understand. That makes any upgrade very cumbersome and complicated. That has been my experience at this company. Because there are many different business units that we are touching, there are so many different components that we are touching. The amount of READMEs that you have to go through takes some time."
"For code version control, you need to use some external software."
"Rapid application development has to be considered, especially for UI, where user interference is crucial."
"The product needs to be improved in a few ways. First, they need to stabilize the components of the whole platform across versions. Also, they should stop replacing old components with brand new ones and, rather, improve by evolution."
"There should be better logging, or a better dashboard, to allow you to see see the logs of the services."
"Forced migration from MessageBroker to Universal Messaging requires large scale reimplementation for JMS."
