Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""This solution is very good at mini-batch processing.""The solution is instantaneous. We can launch the service and reduce the end number of manpower.""The product is cheaper than all platforms""AWS Database Migration Service is good for smaller workloads and provides compatibility.""The tools are very user-friendly.""I like that I can focus on the logic and I don't have to worry about the administration stuff. AWS handles that for me.""As the solution is on the cloud, we don't have to worry about the maintenance of software."

"The most valuable features of TIBCO Spotfire are visualization. It's very nice, clear, and, flexible. You can analyze many data types and the user interface is very good.""The out-of-the-box features are simple and easy to use across the board.""The most valuable feature is the map visuals that help us connect to the geo-specialized data which is more advanced than other solutions.""Data discovery is very simple.""From a scalability standpoint, I would say it's pretty fantastic.""It’s stable and straightforward.""We used it pretty heavily in gathering data, which goes to our VPs. They are able to base their next revenue planning based on this metric. So, it has been invaluable.""One of the main features is integrated statistical analysis."

Cons
"I think that Amazon needs to improve the migration scenarios after analytics""The live duplication has a delay of two minutes, which can be an issue.""We would like to see some improvement in the performance of large scale procedures, such as when we migrate from Oracle to csSQL.""It would be helpful if the bandwidth could be independent of the network or if we could have a dedicated bandwidth for this product.""The cost is a concern. We use DMS because of its simplicity, but the price could definitely be more competitive.""Whatever solution worked today can not be reused in the next migration.""The server has limits on how many can connect to the database.""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."

More AWS Database Migration Service Cons →

"We encountered difficulties connecting the special data sets, as the post data set did not contain any shared columns, making it difficult to establish a connection between the data sets.""The way TIBCO Spotfire is designed, in my opinion, is the reason why it lags a bit, especially compared to other BI tools like Qlik.""I would like more easy-to-implement analytical algorithms. At the moment they include things like forecasts and regressions. They need to add a lot more of these types of things to the product because not everyone is a data scientist.""The Text Area feature needs to be more user-friendly. It is a little clunky to use, and it is difficult to consistently format text.""The data compression has room for improvement.""We would like to see some development in the visualization aspect of this solution, as they can currently only be configured in the cloud, which limits us to one endpoint. It would be helpful if this could be integrated with other tools.""The design of the UI could be improved.""Personalising Spotfire, as a whole, is painful and is something that could be made easier."

    Overview

    AWS Database Migration Service, also known as AWS DMS, is a cloud service that facilitates the migration of relational databases, NoSQL databases, data warehouses, and other types of data stores. The product can be used to migrate users' data into the AWS Cloud or between combinations of on-premises and cloud setups. The solution allows migration between a wide variety of sources and target endpoints; the only requirement is that one of the endpoints has to be an AWS service. AWS DMS cannot be used to migrate from an on-premises database to another on-premises database.

    AWS Database Migration Service allows users to perform one-time migrations, as well as replications of ongoing changes to keep sources and targets in sync. Organizations can utilize the AWS Schema Conversion Tool to translate their database schema to a new platform and then use AWS DMS to migrate the data. The product offers cost efficiency as a part of the AWS Cloud, as well as speed to market, flexibility, and security.

    The main use cases of AWS Database Migration Service include:

    • Migrating from legacy or on-premises databases to managed cloud services through a simplified migration process.

    • Reliable replication of backup files to minimize downtime and data loss.

    • Improvement of integration through building of data lakes and performing real-time processing on change data from users' data stores.

    AWS Database Migration Service Components

    AWS Database Migration Service consists of various components which function together to achieve users’ data migration. A migration on AWS DMS is structured in three levels: a replication instance, source and target endpoints, and a replication task. The components include the following actions:

    • Replication instance: AWS Database Migration Service provides users with a variety of replication instances, allowing them to select the optimal configuration for their use case. Depending on the instance class an organization selects, their replication instance provides a different amount of data storage.

    • Endpoint: AWS DMS uses an endpoint to access users' source or target data stores. The connection information is different and depends on the specific data store, but it usually consists of the following information: endpoint type, engine type, server name, port, encryption, and credentials. This information can easily be managed through the AWS DMS console.

    • Replication tasks: AWS Database Migration Service replication tasks can be used to move a set of data from the source endpoint to the target endpoint. The creation of a replication task is the last required step before starting a migration. Each replication task requires the following settings to be set: replication instance, source endpoint, target endpoint, and migration type options.

    • Ongoing replication or change data capture (CDC): AWS DMS also has the capacity to capture ongoing changes to the source that is stored while users migrate their data to a target.

    • Schema and code migration: The product requires assistance from tools such as MySQL Workbench, pgAdmin III, and Oracle SQL Developer to perform schema or code conversion, as it cannot do it on its own.

    AWS Database Migration Service Benefits

    AWS Database Migration Service offers its users a wide range of benefits. Among them are the following:

    • The solution ensures minimal downtime, as it continuously replicates the changes to the user’s source database during migration.

    • AWS DMS provides users with flexibility, as it supports many commonly used databases, including commercial and open-source ones.

    • The product is user friendly, as it offers an easy set of tasks in the AWS Management Console.

    • Users of Aurora, Redshift, DocumentDB, and DynamoDB can benefit from the free use of AWS DMS.

    • AWS Database Migration Service is very reliable because it is a self-healing service that automatically restarts in cases of interruptions.

    • The product supports both homogenous migrations and heterogenous migrations.

    • AWS DMS accelerates business growth, as it scales businesses at an affordable price.

    Reviews from Real Users

    Vishal S., an infrastructure lead at a computer software company, likes AWS Database Migration Service because it is easy to use and set up.

    Vinod K., a data analyst at AIMLEAP, describes AWS DMS as an easy solution to save and extract data.

    TIBCO Spotfire is a versatile data analytics platform that can handle large datasets and be deployed on-premise or in the cloud. Its dynamic reporting, easy creation of dynamic dashboards, and highly customizable tool make it a valuable asset for process data analysis, industrial performance dashboards, problem root cause analysis, business intelligence, and real-time analytics for IoT devices in the energy sector. 

    The solution also offers data science functions, map visuals, R and Python integration, and the ability to write HTML and JavaScript text areas. Spotfire has helped organizations deliver projects more efficiently and cost-effectively, allowing for faster data analysis.
