Terence Dube - PeerSpot reviewer
AWS Cloud Engineer at Standard Telephones and Cables
Automation has simplified migrations and now needs to address complex legacy compatibility
The features I like the most about AWS Application Migration Service is its ease of use. That's the main thing. It's ease of use, and they have a detailed walkthrough, especially depending on different operating systems. The automation capabilities of AWS actually eliminate the long time and input that I have to put into migration. These days, I just run the agent, and then the agent does the job. All I have to do is actually look at the current migration status on the AWS dashboard. When it's done, I then do a quick switch over to the cloud. The key thing I really love is the simple moving of files from on-prem to the cloud.

Offers replication flexibility across multiple environments, including local centers and secondary sites
It offers key features like any point-in-time recovery without needing scheduled snapshots. It allows for automated VM protection during processes like failover and testing, and it offers replication flexibility across multiple environments, including local centers and secondary sites. It also provides IP address management when network configurations differ across sites.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I rate AWS Application Migration Service a nine out of ten overall."
"The most valuable feature is the live, block-to-block replication."
"The product is reasonably priced."
"AWS Application Migration Service allows us to perform migrations with minimal downtime, which is crucial for our operations."
"The CloudEndure feature is most valuable because it is user friendly and very simple."
"The features I like the most about AWS Application Migration Service is its ease of use, and they have a detailed walkthrough, especially depending on different operating systems, while the automation capabilities eliminate the long time and input that I have to put into migration."
"Live Migration's best feature is that it's free."
"CloudEndure is a product that I recommend to my customers because it's very easy to implement, configure, and use."
"The technical support from Dell is excellent."
"The workload can be moved directly if the disaster site is the main site."
"The product's initial setup phase was quite easy to install."
"Point-in-time recovery and ease of deployment are valuable."
"The solution is quite stable. We haven't experienced any kind of bug or glitch. We haven't experienced crashes."
"The speed and the footprint the solution uses regarding storage are great."
"When it comes to disaster recovery, this is one of the best solutions there is for EMC products."
"It is a very simple tool to use and offers flexibility in using the tool for recovery and transitioning from one state to another."
 

Cons

"We would like to have a disaster recovery feature included in this solution."
"One drawback to using CloudEndure is that the default is to give one small, lightweight server, which is created in the cloud."
"The schema conversion is not included in the document management services itself. Complex formations require additional steps."
"Live Migration has some issues with target setups."
"There are some features in the Migration Factory that could be integrated directly into AWS Application Migration Service."
"However, I give it a six mainly due to the compatibility issues with legacy systems, which is an individual problem I am currently facing."
"I think it is important to have more logs, and more details would be great because we have just logged on the client's side, but there weren't many details on the cloud."
"I do not see any improvements required for the CloudEndure."
"I would like to have the HTML 5 interface working because it is currently not functioning with the VMware environment."
"The biggest challenge we faced was attempting replication between two different kinds of storage systems, like IBM on one side and Dell EMC storage systems on the other, before opting for VPLEX."
"The solution could improve by being more easier to use. However, once you have used it for a while it becomes easier. Additionally, there could be better support and compatibility with management by having a command-line interface. This would be beneficial for the customers."
"It would be good to have a critical application on the customer side."
"The solution is not easy to use. It's actually quite hard. If it could be simplified it might be better for the end user."
"In some cases, the response times could improve, but we haven't had issues with their support."
"The solution currently supports only VMware."
"The solution's technical team has enough skills, but the process can get complicated with the time you get connected with the L3 support."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"For me, the price of the tool is cheap and very good. It is flexible pricing since you pay just for what you use."
"Live Migration's price is good."
"The tool is expensive. If one means cheaply priced and ten means expensive, I rate the tool's price as a seven."
"This is an expensive product."
"There is a license required for this solution and the pricing depends on how many virtual machines you have."
"It was a part of a backup solution. So, it was free for us."
"Pricing-wise, it is pretty much fair for any customer who only has a VMware environment. Licensing is based on the number of VMs that you want to protect at any given point in time. Licensing is not based on size."
"This is not a very cheap solution and compared to others, it is expensive."
