We performed a comparison between AWS Database Migration Service and Qlik Compose 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."Scalable and stable solution for migrating databases to AWS, with valuable features such as parallel full load and continuous data replication."
"The database migration services allow us to do real-time synchronization of on-premise and database to plan out our releases."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"It's pretty useful when we need to migrate something big from a different type of database that AWS Data Migration Services supports."
"Even if it does break down, it will automatically recover itself and resumes from where it stopped."
"This solution is very good at mini-batch processing."
"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."
"The process is now simplified because there won't be maintenance. Usually we can take a snapshot of the number I need. We can automate the backup snapshots and we can restore it very quickly. We get many benefits from the application."
"The most valuable is its excellence as a graphical data representation tool and the versatility it offers, especially with drill-down capabilities."
"The technical support is very good. I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"It's a stable solution."
"There were many valuable features, such as extracting any data to put in the cloud. For example, Qlik was able to gather data from SAP and extract SAP data from the platforms."
"It is a scalable solution."
"It can scale."
"Qlik Compose is good enough. It is user-friendly and intuitive."
"One of the most valuable features was the ability to integrate multiple source systems that mainly used structured IDBMS versions."
"The product's performance could be a little bit better."
"The live duplication has a delay of two minutes, which can be an issue."
"There is no connectivity to the source database or the target database."
"The server has limits on how many can connect to the database."
"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."
"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."
"Support could be more expedient. Right now I am waiting on support for an extension."
"There are a set of complexities and challenges when a user wants to integrate AWS products with Microsoft products."
"It would be better if the first level of technical support were a bit more technically knowledgeable to solve the problem. I think they could also improve the injection of custom scripts. It is pretty difficult to add additional scripts. If the modeling doesn't give you what you want, and you want to change the script generated by the modeling, it is a bit more challenging than in most other products. It is very good with standard form type systems, but if you get a more complicated data paradigm, it tends to struggle with transforming that into a model."
"The solution has room for improvement in the ETL. They have an ETL, but when it comes to the monitoring portion, Qlik Compose doesn't provide a feature for monitoring."
"When processing data from certain tables with a large volume of data, we encounter significant delays. For instance, when dealing with around one million records, it typically takes three to four hours. To address this, I aim to implement performance improvements across all tables, ensuring swift processing similar to those that are currently complete within seconds. The performance issue primarily arises when we analyze the inserts and updates from the source, subsequently dropping the table. While new insertions are handled promptly, updates are processed slowly, leading to performance issues. Despite consulting our Qlik vendors, they were unable to pinpoint the exact cause of this occurrence. Consequently, I am seeking ways to optimize performance within Qlik Compose, specifically concerning updates."
"There could be more customization options."
"There is some scope for improvement around the documentation, and a better UI would definitely help."
"For more complex work, we are not using Qlik Compose because it cannot handle very high volumes at the moment. It needs the same batching capabilities that other ETL tools have. We can't batch the data into small chunks when transforming large amounts of data. It tries to do everything in one shot and that's where it fails."
"I'd like to have access to more developer training materials."
"My issues with the solution's stability are owing to the fact that it has certain bugs causing issues in some functionalities that should be working."
