We performed a comparison between AWS Database Migration Service and JumpMind SymmetricDS 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 product's initial setup phase was very easy."
"It's scalable."
"The most valuable feature of AWS Database Migration Service is it catches all the history changes, such as inset, observe, and delete. It tracks everything."
"The solution is instantaneous. We can launch the service and reduce the end number of manpower."
"I am very impressed by the scalability of AWS Database Migration Service."
"Support is helpful."
"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."
"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."
"It is fully featured. It has allowed me to do everything I wanted to do."
"It would be helpful if the bandwidth could be independent of the network or if we could have a dedicated bandwidth for this product."
"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."
"The names of the services need improvement since AWS doesn't indicate what the function of the product is presently. You need to read a lot to find the service that you want in the product."
"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."
"The live duplication has a delay of two minutes, which can be an issue."
"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."
"The product's performance could be a little bit better."
"The user interface could improve. We are looking at some cloud-based databases, and I don't think they support that."
