"continues replication works"
4/5
What do you like best about AWS Database Migration Service?

even though i think DMS was only meant to be used in finite sessions we are using it nonstop to replicate data from multiple sources into one. it works great most of the time. very rarely we have problems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Database Migration Service?

sometimes when a DMS task fails i have to restart the whole task from scratch to fix the error. also recoverable errors put the task in 'failed' state which triggers our alarms. but since it's a recoverable error we can't really act on the alarm untill it fails on reties.
