We performed a comparison between AWS Database Migration Service and Informatica Cloud Data 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."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."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"The tools are very user-friendly."
"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."
"The fact that it's well-integrated into multiple targets that are good for different use cases is pretty good."
"The product's initial setup phase was very easy."
"We particularly like that this solution has the facility to integrate with all ETL tools."
"The most valuable features of the solution are pushdown, optimization, and partitioning, which can be used for frequent data loading, especially when we have a huge data volume in our company."
"The solution provides increased efficiency while still being user-friendly and easy to operate."
"The data mapping capability is a valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature is the building of mockups and tasks."
"The serverless capability and the packaging application of the solution are valuable."
"We have a lot of integrations, and it's very easy to create integrations. They have a lot of connectors."
"The product improves data quality."
"Whether we need data cleansing or data mastering, we get it all in one platform."
"The server has limits on how many can connect to the database."
"The way that the task settings work, specifically for logging, is really poor."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"This solution is compatible with only AWS."
"The cost is a concern. We use DMS because of its simplicity, but the price could definitely be more competitive."
"We would like to have accessibility to the repository."
"While my company operates on the cloud, we have seen that Informatica Cloud Data Integration has some performance issues causing it to lag."
"The cloud version could be better in terms of pricing."
"There may be some types of limitations with the performance."
"Its features for partitioning and optimization could be better."
"The error information provided is not informative, as compared to Power Center."
"I would also like to have profiling functionalities and quality transformations in the cloud."
"The regions in which the data resides are still limited. This could be an issue in terms of the data residency laws of some of the countries. They should get more regions."
