We performed a comparison between AWS Database Migration Service and Informatica Cloud Data Integration 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."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."
"The initial setup is simple. Not that much complex."
"The Schema Conversion Tool helps to covert the convertible objects and define the non-convertible objects"
"It's pretty useful when we need to migrate something big from a different type of database that AWS Data Migration Services supports."
"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."
"As the solution is on the cloud, we don't have to worry about the maintenance of software."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"The product is cheaper than all platforms"
"It is a scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten."
"The solution is straightforward."
"Informatica Cloud Data Integration is stable."
"It is quite easy to use and flexible."
"It has become an easy way to exchange information through any cloud application."
"The user interface which is very easy to use if we have any problems to solve."
"It is one of the best tools available for data integration."
"The program is stable and scalable."
"The initial setup can be difficult for beginners in AWS Database Migration Service. You will need the training to complete it."
"The cost is a concern. We use DMS because of its simplicity, but the price could definitely be more competitive."
"The product's performance could be a little bit better."
"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."
"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."
"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 is compatible with only AWS."
"It needs to be a little more intuitive but it’s really not bad."
"The cloud version of the Informatica, it's a very substandard product. They might say it's enterprise-ready but it's not at all ready. They need to add more features, such as improved data replication features. If you look at other tools, such as Matillion they are now cloud-native and flexible. Additionally, Informatica Cloud Data Integration should have a good migration strategy from Informatica PowerCenter to Informatica Cloud Data Integration."
"One area that needs to improve is the user experience because it is very complex. The trial version is very complex so it's not easy to start using the program immediately. You must study the rules first."
"The current features are a bit complicated, and we need to write big scripts and test."
"There may be some types of limitations with the performance."
"It could be improved by including a buffer that saves data when there is a connectivity issue."
"The error information provided is not informative, as compared to Power Center."
"Informatica Cloud Data Integration could improve the price by making it less expensive."
