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."The Schema Conversion Tool helps to covert the convertible objects and define the non-convertible objects"
"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."
"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."
"As the solution is on the cloud, we don't have to worry about the maintenance of software."
"The product's initial setup phase was very easy."
"The solution is instantaneous. We can launch the service and reduce the end number of manpower."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"The installation is easy."
"webMethods platform is used to build an EAI platform, enabling communication between many internal systems and third-party operators."
"It’s fairly easy to view, move, and mange access across different components. Different component types are categorized and can be viewed in a web based administration console."
"It has a good integration server, designer, and a very good API portal."
"Application integrations are offered out-of-the-box, and that is extremely important to us. This is one of the main use cases that we have for it. It is about 60 to 70 percent of the workload in our application today."
"It's very flexible and a good platform to use."
"webMethods Integration Server is an easy-to-use solution and does not require a lot of coding."
"The most valuable feature of the webMethods Integration Server is its reliability. It has a lot of great documentation from the service providers. Additionally, it is easy to use."
"The main assets are its flow language, debugging, and Broker. Flow language is far better and more flexible for debugging."
"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."
"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."
"We would like to see some improvement in the performance of large scale procedures, such as when we migrate from Oracle to csSQL."
"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."
"The performance of data migration could be smoother."
"The solution’s scalability and performance could be improved."
"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."
"Whatever solution worked today can not be reused in the next migration."
"I'd like to see the admin portal for managing the integration server go up a level, to have more capabilities and to be given a more modern web interface."
"The initial setup of the webMethods Integration Server is not easy but it gets easier once you know it. It is tiresome but not difficult."
"Technical support is an area where they can improve."
"It could be more user-friendly."
"The installation process should be simplified for first time users and be made more user-friendly."
"A while ago, they were hacked, and it took them a very long time to open their website again in order to download any service packs or any features. I don't know what they could do differently. I know that they were vulnerable, and there was some downtime, but because they were down, we were unable to download any potential service packs."
"In terms of scale, I would give it a four out of 10."
"I would like to have a dashboard where I can see all of the communication between components and the configuration."
