We performed a comparison between AWS Database Migration Service and Tungsten RPA 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."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 solution is instantaneous. We can launch the service and reduce the end number of manpower."
"The product is cheaper than all platforms"
"The fact that it's well-integrated into multiple targets that are good for different use cases is pretty good."
"As the solution is on the cloud, we don't have to worry about the maintenance of software."
"Support is helpful."
"The tools are very user-friendly."
"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."
"Kofax RPA's best feature is its high success percentage in picking up information from documents, especially where the DPI is really low."
"The OCR was quite stable and flexible."
"Provides valuable tools working in integration with RPA tools."
"The flexibility to use already-developed components is really good. You can use it for Excel-related operations and other things."
"The product saves time and resources."
"The pricing of the solution is quite good."
"It is very simple and easy to learn compared to any other RPA tools such as UiPath, Automation Anywhere and Blue Prism."
"The product provides end-to-end solutions for different business problems."
"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 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."
"The way that the task settings work, specifically for logging, is really poor."
"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."
"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."
"The cost is a concern. We use DMS because of its simplicity, but the price could definitely be more competitive."
"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."
"Exception handling needs to be improved."
"Kofax RPA's UI could be more user-friendly."
"Kofax RPA could improve web-based automation and there should be a choice of what browser we can use, such as Google Chrome, instead of an inbuilt browser from Kofax RPA. Additionally, Kofax RPA is missing an orchestrator that other solutions have, such as UiPath."
"The process discovery could be a bit better."
"The product has some constraints and performance issues."
"The scalability has room for improvement."
"There is really nothing special about the capabilities of this product."
"It needs a free training portal for anybody on the internet to use so that they can get an idea of what the possibilities are."
