We performed a comparison between AWS Database Migration Service, Informatica Cloud Data Integration, and Quest SharePlex based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Amazon Web Services (AWS), MuleSoft, Matillion and others in Cloud Data Integration."The solution is instantaneous. We can launch the service and reduce the end number of manpower."
"The product's initial setup phase was very easy."
"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."
"Even if it does break down, it will automatically recover itself and resumes from where it stopped."
"As the solution is on the cloud, we don't have to worry about the maintenance of software."
"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."
"It's scalable."
"It has all the advantages of the Cloud in that you can use it without worrying about infrastructure, upkeep, or upgrades."
"The serverless capability and the packaging application of the solution are valuable."
"The Mapping Designer allows for declarative ETL development (visual scripting) that leverages a wide array of different transformations."
"It has a more UI-based tool, and the scripting is good."
"The program is stable and scalable."
"It is one of the best tools available for data integration."
"The product improves data quality."
"The solution is straightforward."
"Because of the volume of the transactions, we heavily use a feature that allows SharePlex to replicate thousands of transactions. It's called PEP, Post Enhancement Performance, and that has helped us scale tremendously."
"The core replication and its performance. Performance is crucial, and SharePlex is by far the fastest. The way it handles replication to multiple targets along with basic filtering, as well as from multiple sources to a single target, is very efficient."
"There are some capabilities within SharePlex where you can see how the data is migrating and if it still maintains good data integrity. For example, if there are some tables that get out of sync, there are ways to find them and fix the problem on the spot. Since these are very common issues, we can easily fix these types of problems using utilities, like compare and repair. So, if you find something is out of sync, then you can just repair that table. It basically syncs that table from source to target to see if there are any differences. It will then replicate those differences to the target."
"The core features of the solution we like are the reliability of the data transfer and the accuracy of data read and write. The stability of the solution is also excellent."
"I like SharePlex's Compare and Repair tool."
"The way that the task settings work, specifically for logging, is really poor."
"The initial setup can be difficult for beginners in AWS Database Migration Service. You will need the training to complete it."
"This solution can offer more tweaks where the latency can be brought down to fifteen seconds."
"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."
"The names of the services need improvement since AWS doesn't indicate what the function of the product is presently. You need to read a lot to find the service that you want in the product."
"I think that Amazon needs to improve the migration scenarios after analytics"
"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."
"Support could be more expedient. Right now I am waiting on support for an extension."
"There are a small number of UI bugs that occur on occasion."
"Its pricing model can be improved. The response time from technical support can also be improved."
"Informatica Cloud Data Integration can improve by being more user-friendly. When you're working with the solution a lot of technical knowledge is required. It's not a solution that anyone can use properly, you need knowledge of what's happening at the back end, such as SQL. When you get stuck, you need to look into your logic. For other tools, such as Dell Boomi, anyone can use them."
"Certain shortcomings in the product's UI make it an area where improvements are required."
"With the solution, we had some issues, and we have every day, and we used to open a ticket. Sometimes, there are data issues and transformation issues."
"The biggest challenge I see is the IDE's for the cloud and automization are different."
"The cloud version could be better in terms of pricing."
"The price modeling could be more flexible."
"I would like more ability to automate installation and configuration in line with some of the DevOps processes that are more mature in the market. That would be a considerable improvement."
"I don't know how easy it would be to change the architecture in an already implemented replication. For example, if we have a certain way of architecting for a particular database migration and want to change that during a period of time, is that an easy or difficult change? There was a need for us to change the architecture in-between the migration, but we didn't do it. We thought, "This is possibly complicated. Let's not change it in the middle because we were approaching our cutover date." That was one thing that we should have checked with support about for training."
"The reporting features need improvement. It would be very good for users to have a clear understanding of the status of replication."
"For its function in relation to replication (i.e. filtering), I'd give it a six or seven out of 10. GoldenGate has much more functionality by comparison."
"I would like the solution to have some kind of machine learning and AI capabilities. Often, if we want to improve the performance of posting, we have to bump up a parameter. That means we need to stop the process, come up with a figure that we want to bump the parameter up to, and then start SharePlex. Machine learning and AI capabilities for these kinds of improvement would tremendously help boost productivity for us."
