"It's scalable."
"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 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."
"AWS Database Migration Service is good for smaller workloads and provides compatibility."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the one I use for report generation. The security risk is very low."
"As the solution is on the cloud, we don't have to worry about the maintenance of software."
"This solution is very good at mini-batch processing."
"I have worked with DB2's great features in the last five years. The IDAA feature transformed the vision of warehousing, business analytics, and big data at my bank. Besides the mainframe, I saw that this solution was evolutionary. It gives real-time information."
"BMC Data Management improved our data recovery process by simplifying it."
"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."
"The solution’s scalability and performance could be improved."
"The live duplication has a delay of two minutes, which can be an issue."
"Support could be more expedient. Right now I am waiting on support for an extension."

If the solution could provide more details about a particular transaction, that would be helpful. The stability of AWS Database Migration Service for online CDC records also needs to be improved."
"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."
"There are a set of complexities and challenges when a user wants to integrate AWS products with Microsoft products."
"This solution can offer more tweaks where the latency can be brought down to fifteen seconds."
"One area for improvement with this product could be in providing clearer guidance and tools for disaster recovery planning and execution."
"DB2 is a hard tool to grasp. It's hard for users to learn how to use it. It's not easy to see how it works."
