We performed a comparison between AWS Database Migration Service and IBM Cloud Pak for Integration 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 fact that it's well-integrated into multiple targets that are good for different use cases is pretty good."
"The database migration services allow us to do real-time synchronization of on-premise and database to plan out our releases."
"Even if it does break down, it will automatically recover itself and resumes from where it stopped."
"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 initial setup is very straightforward."
"The tools are very user-friendly."
"AWS Database Migration Service is good for smaller workloads and provides compatibility."
"The installation is easy."
"The most preferable aspect would be the elimination of the command, which was a significant improvement. In the past, it was a challenge, but now we can proceed smoothly with the implementation of our policies and everything is managed through JCP. It's still among the positive aspects, and it's a valuable feature."
"It is a stable solution."
"The most valuable aspect of the Cloud Pak, in general, is the flexibility that you have to use the product."
"Cloud Pak for Integration is definitely scalable. That is the most important criteria."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"We would like to see some improvement in the performance of large scale procedures, such as when we migrate from Oracle to csSQL."
"The performance of data migration could be smoother."
"It would be helpful if the bandwidth could be independent of the network or if we could have a dedicated bandwidth for this product."
"There are a set of complexities and challenges when a user wants to integrate AWS products with Microsoft products."
"Whatever solution worked today can not be reused in the next migration."
"Its queuing and messaging features need improvement."
"Setting up Cloud Pak for Integration is relatively complex. It's not as easy because it has not yet been fully integrated. You still have some products that are still not containerized, so you still have to run them on a dedicated VM."
"The pricing can be improved."
"The initial setup is not easy."
