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 feature of the solution is the one I use for report generation. The security risk is very low."
"AWS Database Migration Service is good for smaller workloads and provides compatibility."
"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 most valuable feature of AWS Database Migration Service is it catches all the history changes, such as inset, observe, and delete. It tracks everything."
"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."
"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."
"Scalable and stable solution for migrating databases to AWS, with valuable features such as parallel full load and continuous data replication."
"The tools are very user-friendly."
"The loading of data is the most valuable feature of Matillion ETL."
"The product has a good user interface."
"The technical support treats us well. They already have a support portal, and they are responsive, which helps."
"We allow non-technical people to use Matillion to load data into our data warehouse for reporting. Thus, it is easy enough to use that we don't always have to get a technical person involved in setting up a data movement (ETL)."
"It takes less than five minutes to set up and delivers results. It is much quicker than traditional ETL technologies."
"It's been able to do everything we require."
"Matillion ETL is one hundred percent stable."
"It is an incredibly user-friendly and intuitive tool, making the learning curve quite smooth"
"The initial setup can be difficult for beginners in AWS Database Migration Service. You will need the training to complete it."
"This solution is compatible with only AWS."
"We would like to see some improvement in the performance of large scale procedures, such as when we migrate from Oracle to csSQL."
"What needs improvement in AWS Database Migration Service is that it lacks a log file validation feature. If the solution could provide more details about a particular transaction, that would be helpful. The stability of AWS Database Migration Service for online CDC records also needs to be improved."
"AWS Database Migration Service can become complex when testing. Other solutions, such as Microsoft Azure makes it easy to do. There are more steps to complete tasks in AWS Database Migration Service than in Microsoft Azure."
"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."
"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."
"There are a set of complexities and challenges when a user wants to integrate AWS products with Microsoft products."
"Sometimes, we have issues with the solution's stability and need to restart it for three weeks or more."
"Our main challenge currently is that Matillion runs on an EC2 instance, limiting us to running only two processes simultaneously at the entry level."
"I am looking forward to seeing the expansion of the source range for their data loader product."
"Ideally, I would like it to integrate with Secrets Manager as well as the AWS."
"While the UI is good, it could be improved in its efficiency and made easier to use."
"It needs integration with more data sources."
"The current version is a bit more limited because it's on a virtual machine, and everything executes on that one virtual machine."
"There are certain functions that are available in other ETL tools which are still not present in Matillion ETL. It would be good to have more features."
