We performed a comparison between AWS Database Migration Service and SAS Data Management 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 initial setup is very straightforward."
"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 installation is easy."
"The product is cheaper than all platforms"
"We particularly like that this solution has the facility to integrate with all ETL tools."
"Support is helpful."
"It's scalable."
"The fact that it's well-integrated into multiple targets that are good for different use cases is pretty good."
"Its robustness is valuable. It is a full-fledged suite. We have a data warehouse model, and there are also a lot of data quality management tools. The repository and all other tools are there. So, it is a full package in terms of reporting tools."
"If you compare it to SQL, the memory and development times are very quick."
"The solution is very stable. We haven't faced any issues with glitches or bugs. We haven't had any crashes."
"The product offers very good flexibility."
"In terms of which features I have found most valuable, I would say the importing and exporting features. Additionally, the data sorting, categorizing and summarizing features, especially how it can summarize based on categories. These are the key features."
"The technical support is excellent."
"The tool is reliable, quick, and powerful."
"This is an established product with powerful data analysis and varied options for user entry points."
"There are a set of complexities and challenges when a user wants to integrate AWS products with Microsoft products."
"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."
"It would be helpful if the bandwidth could be independent of the network or if we could have a dedicated bandwidth for this product."
"What needs improvement in AWS Database Migration Service is that it lacks a log file validation feature. If the solution could provide more details about a particular transaction, that would be helpful. The stability of AWS Database Migration Service for online CDC records also needs to be improved."
"The server has limits on how many can connect to the database."
"Database Migration Service could be more integrated. I think that it makes sense to add integration to these functions. For example, AWS Glue has a feature called Orchestrator to create data flows, and that's more straightforward."
"This solution is compatible with only AWS."
"There is no connectivity to the source database or the target database."
"The solution is quite expensive and hard to install/configure."
"We implemented it a while ago, and we are trying to improve the data delivery performance. We are looking into how to get faster and automated reporting. We would need better designs and workflows."
"Very little needs to improve but perhaps a nicer graphic interface and remaining competetive in the growing field of data analytics."
"I would like the tool to include the ability to automate the modifications of the integrations."
"With SAS Data Management, you have to purchase an external driver, configure all of the tables for all of the data that you will extract from Salesforce. It's not a straightforward process."
"The pricing of the solution needs to be improved. They need to work to make it more affordable."
"We find we often have to go back and re-train users when there are changes made to the solution because the changes are not intuitive."
"One problem is accessing the data using a solution other than SAS. The SAS data, which we create in the SAS, cannot be accessed by other tools. We can't open those data in other applications. So we need to have that application in place."
