AWS Schema Conversion Tool Reviews & Product Details

Not only is it compatible with many different database providers, but it is also simple to use and may save significant time and work when migrating databases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When it comes to large data sets, the tool can be a little sluggish, but overall it performed really well. There are some UX improvements that could be implemented, but it is targeted at administrators who should be able to find their way around. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Database migration is one of the toughest tasks of the migration process. Organizations going cloud is not a new terminology now. And there are various requirements of like-to-like database when you explore the other available tools but using AWS SCT you can migrate data from Oracle, SQL server etc to the managed RDS, Postgres etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing much to dislike, there are pretty cool features such as creating partition beforehand itself, comparing and validating the data once it is migrated to the RDS etc and those are very very helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

AWS Schema Conversion Tool (SCT) is a product to help migrate business from on-prem to cloud or cloud-cloud. This tool helps to identify the schema and complexity of database/ Data warehouse. This tool can migrate between various rdbms like oracle, Mysql, and Postgres along with migrating data to S3 and redshift. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I didn't find any difficulties with this tool. Rather this tool helped me a lot while migrating on-premise oracle data warehouse to Redshift that too in PB scale. I don't have any dislike for this tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Wide support for databases and providers is the best part and shifting is completed seamlessly without manual intervention and without worrying much on queries and Schema while shifting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Most of the times it works great but several times I need to look into manually in order to get a task completed this is the negative point and the point which I disliked. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best part is the convenience being offered and helps to save a lot of time as migration from one cloud provider to another is done with a few clicks and efficiently as we need not to look for schema key by key and mostly SQL databases are being supported. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The part which I disliked is no support for No-SQL Databases as it can't be used on MongoDB, adding up limitations, and several times indexing and procedures are done manually and could be automatic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is a time-saving software with great data analytical features available. Moving db from one server to another has been more accessible with this software, which makes workflow more manageable. Stores and protects all the data at one place, fully encrypted end to end. Best and easiest way to convert OLTP formate to any other formate you require or you use.

The feature of transferring files is sometimes slower when trying to import or transfer multiple files simultaneously or larger files. There are less automation features in this platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

From my usage, I like that we do need not to put many efforts for getting things done in lesser time and most of the SQL Database Service Providers are supported along with it, Auto Scan Feature is the best part of it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike that it do not support NOSQL Databases which I feels is lacking and adding a limitation, another thing which I faced was many Datatypes are not recognised or may be supported that thing is done manually that needs to be improved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Saves a lot of resources for manual migration processes, esp. for things like automatically generating migration scripts and doing machine conversions. Can typically get you 95% of the way to a full migration with little effort. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Getting to the extra 5% can be very difficult IF you have very specific requirements or quirks of your source db that you are relying on. Documentation and support for trouble shooting could be much better, esp. since this is a more "niche" and newer product without a lot of documentation out there (e.g. on stack overflow) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
