People Also Ask

AWS DMS works for basic migrations but faces challenges at scale. Large enterprises report performance bottlenecks, complex configuration requirements, and significant manual effort for schema conversion. For migrations over 10TB, AWS DMS typically requires 3-6 months of setup and tuning, while AI-powered platforms complete the same migration in 2-4 weeks with minimal manual intervention.
