Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Even if it does break down, it will automatically recover itself and resumes from where it stopped.""The initial setup is simple. Not that much complex.""It's pretty useful when we need to migrate something big from a different type of database that AWS Data Migration Services supports.""This solution is very good at mini-batch processing.""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.""The installation is easy.""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."

More AWS Database Migration Service Pros →

"I really appreciate the on-the-go access through the browser and the B2B integration.""We work on the flow between systems and the most valuable features for that purpose are the mapping of data, interface mapping, and data integration.""AtomSphere Integration will suit those looking for small automation and simple integrations.""It is easy to learn and implement.""It is a low-code and high-configuration platform, which is very valuable. Develop once and run anywhere is another useful feature. It also has connectors for more than 200 applications. It provides value for money. Our customers who have implemented this solution have a very high ROI.""Very effective with its drag-and-drop feature.""The platform is user-friendly.""I have found the solution to be scalable."

More Boomi AtomSphere Integration Pros →

"It has good integrations with Amazon Redshift and other AWS services.""It's highly scalable. It takes upon itself the Redshift scalability, so it's very good.""The most valuable feature of Matillion ETL is its ease of use. If you have had some experience with other solutions, such as Snowflake, the use of this solution will be simple.""It takes less than five minutes to set up and delivers results. It is much quicker than traditional ETL technologies.""The most valuable feature of Matillion ETL is its user-friendly graphical interface.""It is pretty user-friendly, even for people who aren't super technical.""Matillion ETL is one hundred percent stable.""The new version with the Productivity Cloud is very simple. It's easy to use, navigate, and understand."

Cons
"This solution is compatible with only AWS.""Support could be more expedient. Right now I am waiting on support for an extension.""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 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.""There is no connectivity to the source database or the target database.""The performance of data migration could be smoother.""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.""The solution’s scalability and performance could be improved."

More AWS Database Migration Service Cons →

"The API can use some work to come up to speed with the competition but Dell has plans and is working on resolving that.""There is no validation in the mapping profile custom scripting, such as IntelliSense or advanced error checking.""We encountered stability issues occasionally, one to two times a year.""There are very few string handling functions and few mathematical functions are available.""The product could be a little bit more user-friendly.""We would like to see more involvement between Dell Boomi and the end-users to help improve the customer experience.""Have to create some of our own pre-built connectors.""In day-to-day operations, tracking transactions is a major challenge. It takes hours to track a single transaction. It is not a straightforward process."

More Boomi AtomSphere Integration Cons →

"Matillion’s on-premises capabilities don’t allow you to build something customized.""The product must enhance its near-real-time data capture feature.""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.""When using the SQL loader type there were not a lot of pre-processing features for the data. For example, if there is a table with twenty columns, but we only want to load ten columns. In that case, we can use a security script to select the specific columns needed. However, if we want to perform extensive pre-processing of the data, I faced some challenges with Matillion ETL. I did not encounter many challenges, but my overall experience is limited as I only have three years of experience.""It needs integration with more data sources.""In the next release, we would like to have connections to more databases.""Ideally, I would like it to integrate with Secrets Manager as well as the AWS.""Our main challenge currently is that Matillion runs on an EC2 instance, limiting us to running only two processes simultaneously at the entry level."

  • "AWS Database Migration Service is very inexpensive."
  • More AWS Database Migration Service Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The Platinum package is good for licensing, but I’m not sure about the cost and improvements."
  • "They do not charge by the number of people using the software (client-server model), but rather they charge based on the number of connections used. This makes it very cost effective."
  • "The licensing model of Dell Boomi is based on a ‘pay-per-use’ model."
  • "This solution is very economical (based on the connections)."
  • "The pricing is a bit complex. While the entry fee may be lower than other solutions, it could be expensive depending on your usage."
  • "When it comes to pricing, it's not so much about being less expensive as it is about how they don't tie to the hardware on the underlined VMware that you run on, as other vendors do"

    Overview

    AWS Database Migration Service, also known as AWS DMS, is a cloud service that facilitates the migration of relational databases, NoSQL databases, data warehouses, and other types of data stores. The product can be used to migrate users' data into the AWS Cloud or between combinations of on-premises and cloud setups. The solution allows migration between a wide variety of sources and target endpoints; the only requirement is that one of the endpoints has to be an AWS service. AWS DMS cannot be used to migrate from an on-premises database to another on-premises database.

    AWS Database Migration Service allows users to perform one-time migrations, as well as replications of ongoing changes to keep sources and targets in sync. Organizations can utilize the AWS Schema Conversion Tool to translate their database schema to a new platform and then use AWS DMS to migrate the data. The product offers cost efficiency as a part of the AWS Cloud, as well as speed to market, flexibility, and security.

    The main use cases of AWS Database Migration Service include:

    • Migrating from legacy or on-premises databases to managed cloud services through a simplified migration process.

    • Reliable replication of backup files to minimize downtime and data loss.

    • Improvement of integration through building of data lakes and performing real-time processing on change data from users' data stores.

    AWS Database Migration Service Components

    AWS Database Migration Service consists of various components which function together to achieve users’ data migration. A migration on AWS DMS is structured in three levels: a replication instance, source and target endpoints, and a replication task. The components include the following actions:

    • Replication instance: AWS Database Migration Service provides users with a variety of replication instances, allowing them to select the optimal configuration for their use case. Depending on the instance class an organization selects, their replication instance provides a different amount of data storage.

    • Endpoint: AWS DMS uses an endpoint to access users' source or target data stores. The connection information is different and depends on the specific data store, but it usually consists of the following information: endpoint type, engine type, server name, port, encryption, and credentials. This information can easily be managed through the AWS DMS console.

    • Replication tasks: AWS Database Migration Service replication tasks can be used to move a set of data from the source endpoint to the target endpoint. The creation of a replication task is the last required step before starting a migration. Each replication task requires the following settings to be set: replication instance, source endpoint, target endpoint, and migration type options.

    • Ongoing replication or change data capture (CDC): AWS DMS also has the capacity to capture ongoing changes to the source that is stored while users migrate their data to a target.

    • Schema and code migration: The product requires assistance from tools such as MySQL Workbench, pgAdmin III, and Oracle SQL Developer to perform schema or code conversion, as it cannot do it on its own.

    AWS Database Migration Service Benefits

    AWS Database Migration Service offers its users a wide range of benefits. Among them are the following:

    • The solution ensures minimal downtime, as it continuously replicates the changes to the user’s source database during migration.

    • AWS DMS provides users with flexibility, as it supports many commonly used databases, including commercial and open-source ones.

    • The product is user friendly, as it offers an easy set of tasks in the AWS Management Console.

    • Users of Aurora, Redshift, DocumentDB, and DynamoDB can benefit from the free use of AWS DMS.

    • AWS Database Migration Service is very reliable because it is a self-healing service that automatically restarts in cases of interruptions.

    • The product supports both homogenous migrations and heterogenous migrations.

    • AWS DMS accelerates business growth, as it scales businesses at an affordable price.

    Reviews from Real Users

    Vishal S., an infrastructure lead at a computer software company, likes AWS Database Migration Service because it is easy to use and set up.

    Vinod K., a data analyst at AIMLEAP, describes AWS DMS as an easy solution to save and extract data.

    The Boomi AtomSphere integration platform as a service (iPaaS) supports all your application integration processes – between cloud platforms, software-as-a-service applications, and on-premises systems. Your entire team has online access to a powerful range of integration and data management capabilities, that can be realized in a fraction of the time of legacy middleware technologies.

    Matillion ETL is a powerful tool for extracting, transforming, and loading large amounts of data from various sources into cloud data warehouses like Snowflake. Its ability to load data dynamically and efficiently using metadata is a standout feature, as is its open-source ETL with good performance and high efficiency. 

    The solution has a graphical interface for jobs, is easily adjustable and extensible, and allows for scheduling and error reporting. Matillion ETL has helped organizations move to a cloud-based solution, bridge the gap between on-premises and on-cloud, and perform complex migration projects.
