We performed a comparison between AWS Database Migration Service and WhereScape RED 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."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 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 solution is instantaneous. We can launch the service and reduce the end number of manpower."
"The database migration services allow us to do real-time synchronization of on-premise and database to plan out our releases."
"The product's initial setup phase was very easy."
"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."
"The installation is easy."
"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."
"Naturally produces a way to easily debug your DW data solutions."
"This is a fantastically robust DW tool that will make you at least 10 times faster in producing a DW."
"RED has provided us the ability to integrate, stage, and transform data from diverse sources into an enterprise-grade data warehouse which meets the needs of my organization, but it also enables us to easily and quickly make ETL or DW changes."
"WhereScape is really helpful in terms of architecture data. Everything is one of automation. Two people can do thousands of tables in one day or two. It saves a lot of time."
"RED generates comprehensive documentation and regenerates it as quickly as things changes, but it also provides impact documentation."
"I like the data vault implementations."
"WhereScape RED has improved our business's ability to generate needed reporting without requiring a large team of developers to manually code all of the necessary plumbing."
"The tool supports multiple target update methods."
"Migrating from here and pushing the data from on-premise to AWS cloud is a big challenge and a few more services from AWS would be helpful. For example, we are currently using ILDB internet tools which move data from on-premise to the AWS cloud. A few more services would be really helpful for me to move the master data."
"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."
"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 performance of data migration could be smoother."
"There are a set of complexities and challenges when a user wants to integrate AWS products with Microsoft products."
"Support could be more expedient. Right now I am waiting on support for an extension."
"There is no connectivity to the source database or the target database."
"Technical support isn't the best."
"Jobs cannot be deleted via the deployment package. When deploying from dev to QA or production, a job has to be retired. The job has to be manually removed from the target environment."
"The scheduled jobs which are run by the WhereScape scheduler seem to be a strangely separate animal. Unlike all other WhereScape objects, jobs cannot be added to WhereScape projects. Also, unlike all other objects, jobs also cannot be deleted using a WhereScape deployment application."
"Project-based searching of data objects in the data warehouse browser needs to be improved."
"The solution can be a little more user-friendly on enterprise-level where people use it."
"It could use a tool to diagnose what is missing from the environment for WhereScape to install successfully."
"Improve the object renaming ability (it works, but it could be more automated)."
"No support for change data capture or delta detection - that must be custom coded ."
