We performed a comparison between AWS Database Migration Service and Oracle GoldenGate 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."
"We particularly like that this solution has the facility to integrate with all ETL tools."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"Even if it does break down, it will automatically recover itself and resumes from where it stopped."
"The most valuable feature of AWS Database Migration Service is it catches all the history changes, such as inset, observe, and delete. It tracks everything."
"Support is helpful."
"The fact that it's well-integrated into multiple targets that are good for different use cases is pretty good."
"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."
"Ease of installation, maintenance and powerful outputs and supporting Big Data and Cloud environment as well as OGGCS (Oracle Golden Gate Cloud Service)."
"It scales well. You can either have it working in with the databases, or you can move it outside. It's got the ability to parallelize up, so you can certainly extract and replay the data from your databases in parallel. So it does have horizontal scalability. That is probably one of its stronger features, the ability just to automatically parallelize the replay and playing of data to allow to scale to large volumes."
"Oracle GoldenGate helps to select and target specific tables for replication. Any changes or operations on those tables are immediately reflected in the source and target environments."
"You can use Oracle GoldenGate as a DR for your system."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle GoldenGate is its cost-effectiveness compared to other solutions like Oracle Data Guard, especially for Oracle-to-non-Oracle replication scenarios."
"It moves the data as you set it up, and it works. I am also very impressed with its stability and scalability. It is not super feature-rich, but the new releases have more functionality. It recently had more native integrations with Oracle Database. If you are using it against an Oracle database, it has a lot more functionality."
"For small databases, GoldenGate handles the migration well."
"The solution is useful for data transformation."
"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."
"Support could be more expedient. Right now I am waiting on support for an extension."
"The cost is a concern. We use DMS because of its simplicity, but the price could definitely be more competitive."
"This solution can offer more tweaks where the latency can be brought down to fifteen seconds."
"The product's performance could be a little bit better."
"There is no connectivity to the source database or the target database."
"The way that the task settings work, specifically for logging, is really poor."
"The front-end management isn't very good."
"The solution is quite costly, and if they could reduce their pricing, it would be more economical to implement."
"In the future, I would appreciate a more user-friendly monitoring interface for easier management and troubleshooting."
"A clean and user-friendly graphical interface based on common design principles would be beneficial."
"It should be easier to integrate this solution with non-Oracle databases, including cloud-based solutions hosted on Azure."
"I would like to see the interface more graphical and easier to use."
"Additional performance metrics should be added and visible in a dashboard, displayed in a detailed manner."
"The GoldenGate license is very costly."
