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."It's pretty useful when we need to migrate something big from a different type of database that AWS Data Migration Services supports."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the one I use for report generation. The security risk is very low."
"Scalable and stable solution for migrating databases to AWS, with valuable features such as parallel full load and continuous data replication."
"The product is cheaper than all platforms"
"The tools are very user-friendly."
"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 simple. Not that much complex."
"The solution is instantaneous. We can launch the service and reduce the end number of manpower."
"Quickly develops a data warehouse for our organization with documentation and can track back/forward features."
"WhereScape's deployment package is a fantastic feature. The application allows for selecting specific objects that you would like to deploy from one environment to another rather than deploying the entire database."
"The most valuable feature is the metadata generated code."
"Data transformations and rollups are easy to accomplish."
"WhereScape RED has improved our business's ability to generate needed reporting without requiring a large team of developers to manually code all of the necessary plumbing."
"I found the initial setup very easy."
"The tool supports multiple target update methods."
"Naturally produces a way to easily debug your DW data solutions."
"More endpoints need to be supported by AWS Database Migration Service. There's also a need for more control and transparency on the product, including better technical support."
"Sometimes, the migration processes are not manageable"
"There are a set of complexities and challenges when a user wants to integrate AWS products with Microsoft products."
"The server has limits on how many can connect to the database."
"Support could be more expedient. Right now I am waiting on support for an extension."
"This solution is compatible with only AWS."
"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."
"The solution’s scalability and performance could be improved."
"Improve the object renaming ability (it works, but it could be more automated)."
"No support for change data capture or delta detection - that must be custom coded ."
"The scheduled jobs which are run by the WhereScape scheduler seem to be a strangely separate animal. Unlike all other WhereScape objects, jobs cannot be added to WhereScape projects. Also, unlike all other objects, jobs also cannot be deleted using a WhereScape deployment application."
"Customization could be better."
"The solution can be a little more user-friendly on enterprise-level where people use it."
"Jobs cannot be deleted via the deployment package. When deploying from dev to QA or production, a job has to be retired. The job has to be manually removed from the target environment."
"The ability to execute SSIS projects within WhereScape would be nice because we have a lot of packages that are too cumbersome to recreate."
"They need a more robust support center. It has been a bit difficult to find solutions to problems that are out-of-the-box."
