AWS Database Migration Service Reviews & Product Details

The best thing about AWS Databases is the ease of usage and implementation. It is very easy to create a new database in seconds. It has a lot of database options such as Postgres, MySQL, Aurora, etc.

I personally like Aurora the best, with its serverless capabilities standing out from all other cloud providers.

I have been using Amazon Databases every day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The UI is slightly not up to the mark for the Databases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

AWS databases are fully managed, highly scalable, and secure, offering a wide range of purpose-built options like RDS, DynamoDB, and Redshift. They reduce operational overhead, support high availability, and integrate seamlessly with other AWS services—making it easy to build reliable, performant applications at scale.

EAWS databases can become expensive at scale, especially with high I/O or storage needs. Some services have complex pricing models and limits (like DynamoDB throughput). Also, vendor lock-in and limited customization compared to self-managed databases can be concerns for some users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is very easy to setup data migrations between different databases and services and is user-friendly once you learn.We are able to load GBs of data very quickly and easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

CDC is not easily implemented using DMS and needs detailed study to implement,we need to add details in JSON sometimes which gets a little messy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

AWS DMS is used when we want to get all our data from one data base to other when we want to migrate this AWS service is used.

The best thing I like is if I want to do manually , then I need to copy all the tables , all the statements from old data base to new , which can take long time but through DMS I need to mention source and destination database and replication instance copies data from old to new . I dont need to struggle much.

It even takes care of schema conversion as well , which means if source is relational and destination is non relational , DMS takes care of it.

I only need to pay for compute resources . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I recently faced one issue where it failed to parse the JSON object because that JSON has multiple line breaks. So while reading the JSON, it was giving null as output.

And another which I faced was while reading the GeoSpatial coordinates. So for this issue, I changed the source column datatype from geometry to string, and it's also a known issue to the AWS team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
