Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Since ever we started using the AWS snow family, it has been very easy for us to migrate the existing data to the AWS snow family. Our on-premise servers are having a huge amount of data, we were worried about it how to migrate this data to other servers. Then AWS snow family - snowmobile helped us a lot to migrate the huge data in a smooth manner.

Pros

Data migration.
Transfer speed.
Performance.

Cons

Surveillance
Security

Likelihood to Recommend

I can say it is appropriate in many ways, like the data transfer and the migration part. The generations in the AWS snow family are also helpful in choosing the right one based on the amount of data and budget aspects. Moreover, it was well suited for use in migrating bulk amounts of data. The surveillance part is a bit drawback for us, and now its ok, and we are good with it.

Alternatives Considered

AWS Database Migration Service

Actually, we have used both the AWS Database Migration Service and AWS snow family's snowmobile, and we have a lot of experience with both migration parts. But the one we choose the best is the AWS snow family. Among these, it really works like something to migrate all the existing data to AWS servers in a very short span. Moreover, the accuracy of the data transfer is 100%.
