We performed a comparison between AWS Database Migration Service and IBM InfoSphere DataStage 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."The initial setup is very straightforward."
"AWS Database Migration Service is good for smaller workloads and provides compatibility."
"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."
"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 product's initial setup phase was very easy."
"I am very impressed by the scalability of AWS Database Migration Service."
"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."
"It's pretty useful when we need to migrate something big from a different type of database that AWS Data Migration Services supports."
"It's a robust solution."
"We like the flexibility of modeling."
"The solution is very easy to use."
"IBM is stable and accurate to monitor. It's easy to understand to monitor the data lineage from source to target."
"The data lineage report can be filtered for reporting. The reports are user-friendly and take less time to find what you need."
"It is quite useful and powerful."
"I am impressed with the tool's ETL tracing."
"The most valuable feature for our data processing needs is IBM InfoSphere DataStage's capability to handle ETL tasks with large record volumes."
"It would be helpful if the bandwidth could be independent of the network or if we could have a dedicated bandwidth for this product."
"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 performance of data migration could be smoother."
"Support could be more expedient. Right now I am waiting on support for an extension."
"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."
"I think that Amazon needs to improve the migration scenarios after analytics"
"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."
"The response time from support is slow and needs to be improved."
"DataStage is quite expensive. It is too hard to find a consultant using DataStage in Turkey."
"I really like this tool, but the administration should be on the same client application because a lot of administration features are not on the client-side, and they usually need to have administrative access. It's quite complicated to force IT teams to have separate administrative access from the developers."
"The solution can be a bit more user-friendly, similar to Informatica."
"It doesn't have any big data connections. It would be good to have them because most of the systems are moving towards big data. There should also be a user-friendly way to interact with the cloud. Its loading process is very slow. It takes a lot of time for around 5 or 6 million records, and we are not able to provide real-time data to the vendors due to this delay. Its performance needs to be improved. It is also like a legacy system. It is not updated much. In higher versions, they only do small changes. We would like to have new features and new technologies."
"The troubleshooting guide is very bad."
"There are three things that could improve - the cloud, monitoring and cloud integration. It's a solid product but not a modern one and of course it depends what you're looking for."
"The setup is extremely difficult."
