We performed a comparison between AWS Database Migration Service and Talend Open Studio 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 fact that it's well-integrated into multiple targets that are good for different use cases is pretty good."
"The installation is easy."
"AWS Database Migration Service is good for smaller workloads and provides compatibility."
"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."
"The product is cheaper than all platforms"
"As the solution is on the cloud, we don't have to worry about the maintenance of software."
"The database migration services allow us to do real-time synchronization of on-premise and database to plan out our releases."
"The tools are very user-friendly."
"Open Studio's best features are that it's user-friendly, even for beginners, and very easy to implement."
"It is easy to use and covers most of the functions needed. We can use the code without any extra effort. The open source is very good. They have the same commercials with additional connectors. The graphical design environment is also very easy."
"The API integration and big data approach are very good because of how you extract data from JSP files or big data web repositories like MongoDB."
"I can connect with different databases such as Oracle Database or SQL Server. It allows you to extract the data from one database to another. I can structure the data by filtering and mapping the fields. It is very user-friendly. You need to know the basics of SQL development or SQL queries, and you can use this tool."
"Talend is safe to use because it is very restrictive. It is easy to use when one learns how to manipulate data with SQL."
"We're sold on the customization part of the solution."
"The most valuable feature of Talend Open Studio is the tMap component. There is a lot of functionality in one component."
"It is user-friendly and the interface is good."
"This solution can offer more tweaks where the latency can be brought down to fifteen seconds."
"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."
"The solution’s scalability and performance could be improved."
"We would like to see some improvement in the performance of large scale procedures, such as when we migrate from Oracle to csSQL."
"There is no connectivity to the source database or the target database."
"The performance of data migration could be smoother."
"The cost is a concern. We use DMS because of its simplicity, but the price could definitely be more competitive."
"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."
"The solution should offer better integration with other products."
"The technical support and documentation need a lot of work to come up to standard."
"When faced with a challenge, such as the necessity to link up with an unconventional data source like the legacy Cyprus Vision database that wasn't inherently supported by Talend, I had to resort to writing Python code to establish the connection."
"Talend Open Studio's interface does not provide a good experience...I would like to see better documentation and a more enhanced graphical interface in Talend Open Studio."
"I would say that writing to JSON is kind of a pain. It reads from a JSON file pretty well, but writing to a JSON file is not so great because its components are not good."
"The stability of the solution could improve when running jobs. There can be errors when running projects but in the end, it works well and the errors do not impact the result."
"The profiling perspective needs improvement. Instead of using it in the studio, we are using a different tool which is also provided by Talend. It's redundant."
"As for improvement or additional features, I would like to know how to use Java in Talend and also how to use Talend in the cloud or in big data. I would prefer to have storage directly on Talend."
