They really listen and are very responsive, I am very pleasantly surprised. Several times, they quickly found solutions to my various problems. Whether in terms of implementation, or additional development. Pros Ergonomic and easy-to-use tool The ability to migrate from many different database, if necessary. The support Dynamic team Cons I don't really know, because everything was good, I really recommend them. Review Source APK Andrey P K. Software Engineer Logistics and Supply Chain Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Ispirer SQLServer To PostGres" July 3, 2023 5.0 10/10 - customer support was fast and prompt. Gave me a good deal on the product Pros Simply to use UI. No configuration required. UI has live updates on progress, you're not concerned it's stuck somewhere and actually has already crashed. Cons Pricing not available upfront. I understand that their business model is quota based so they need estimate of how you will use it, but they could provide a chart of rough costs so you can know what you might need to expect Review Source CZ Carl Z. Owner Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great product at a great price." December 13, 2021 5.0 As you can guess, the over all experience is 5 out of 5 stars, really (no I'm not being compensated for saying that). Pros While I was more on the admin team, I can speak to the amazing customer service provided. I would not hesitate to recommend them. Cons Of course nothing is perfect, and that is the case here, but the tool is fantastic, and with the support we got, we were really pleased. Review Source JM Jose M. Principal DBA Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Ispirer MnMTK is an outstanding migration tool like none other. I will use it time after time!" June 23, 2017 5.0 I had been able to complete two separate migrations. I did try several other tools in the market place. We selected Ispirer MnMTK , for it was so much easier to use, and more effective with the total outcome we were looking for Pros I feel confident that the data being migrated will be transparent to the application. What I really appreciate is that Ispirer configured the tool for our specific needs. So when data has been migrated, the validation process is almost right where we needed it. But what is most important to me, is how quickly they were able to resolved some of our issues. Ispirer MnMTK tool is a great solution for those who require an efficient and quick database migration. Cons My dream is to see the actual export process go faster then what this tool does. Also, there are still few minor things that might require some manual work Review Source TN Tuyen N. Database Administrator Government Administration Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Sybase SQL Anywhere to MS SQL Server database conversion" November 28, 2022 5.0 Pros The Assessment toolkit was very helpful. It provided an overall picture and the scope of the database conversion. It analyzed all objects including Views, Tables, Stored Procedures and so on within a source database. The SQLWays module worked well. It converted all data successfully to SQL Server. The process logged exceptions so we could either fix them before or after the conversion. Overall, it's a very good product and ispire customer support is exceptional! Cons The original version of the Assessment Wizard ran into an issue causing the error "Failed Objects (Not Parsed). However, the issue was quickly fixed by technical support. It ran successfully with latest version. Review Source OM Odile M. Assistant DBA Banking Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "The best tool for Database Migration" March 22, 2021 5.0 I had to use SQLWays in the case of database migration. The project consisted of moving from SQL Server on Windows to PostgreSQL on Linux. I had to find the best tool for this particular migration because the data included BLOB types, and we couldn't afford to lose such sensitive information. I had to test more than 5 tools, and in the end, the tool that caught my attention for its simplicity and ease of use was SQLWays. Contacting representatives was easy, they answered me on the minute. \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] has been especially kind and dedicated to my cause and not once has she been unavailable. Best of all, given the size of my database, I didn't even have to buy the software. I have been authorized to use it for free. And thanks to them, now I can say that my migration took place in full transparency, without much human intervention. All that needed to be done was to authorize connections between the 2 database servers. Pros \- Easy to use - Seamless migration - Recognized the database connectors - Big tables can be split into smaller size during export - The tool does the work it is expected to do. - Conditional migration (part of tables can be migrated) - Recognises tables, views, functions, stored procedures, etc. Cons The only thing I didn't like was the pressure of the license which is limited in time. But extensions are possible. Reason for choosing Ispirer It was the best tool for what we needed and it (the trial) worked very much better ... Review Source RJA Ricardo Javier A. Database Administrator Legislative Office Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "migrating from sql server to postgresql" March 18, 2024 5.0 Pros mainly the technical assistance provided by Inspirer staff, then the easy use of the tool to migrate both the structure, the database objects and the data Cons The price, we are not a software development company and we only use the tool once, if you can consider an amount to be able to use this tool for two weeks.

Sr.Manager-Technology Infrastructure Financial Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Ispirer - An indigenous tool for database platform migration" February 24, 2023 5.0 Most reliable software and error free migration. Pros Ease of use, Detailed Migration work-logs, Applying filters, Running Parallel threads Cons Not observed any cons with the software.

The rest is manual effort Review Source GK Greg K. Application Development Lead Information Technology and Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Successful Oracle to MySQL conversation/migration" July 27, 2021 5.0 Ispirer’s SQLWays greatly assisted our efforts in migrating from Oracle to MySQL, which was a requirement for our overall migration from a COTS Enterprise Content Management System to a community edition of the same CMS. This CMS migration saved our project a significant amount in annually reoccurring licensing fees. Without the SQLWays, we could not have performed the database migration portion of this effort. Finally, I want to add that Ispirer’s support team was quick to help when we ran into data irregularities within our database. Pros Ease of use regarding conversation and migration from our Oracle to MySQL. Cons Log output could use some improvement. Exceptions/errors are noted but no detail is given. Review Source GC George C. IT Manager Glass, Ceramics & Concrete Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "DB2 to MSSQL migration project" August 21, 2019 5.0 Our experience was excellent. We took a complete database running on a very old version of DB2 and migrated successfully to a MSSQL databse. Customer support was very good when we have a few questions reagarding the use of the tool. Overall, very impressive!!! Pros This was THE ONLY tool we could find to allow us to convert a very old version of DB2 to a new MSSQL database. It is extremely easy to use, and also fast and accurate! Cons I have no "cons". This tool worked perfectly!!! Review Source MS Madalina S. Data scientist Consumer Goods Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Ispirer data migration" January 25, 2024 5.0 Pros quite easy to use/user friendly. easy to understand even for non technical people. Cons The interface is a bit outdated and debugging process for failed table conversions is harder to follow. Review Source DA Dave A. Software Development Consultant Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Excellent Product, Excellent Support" April 5, 2019 5.0 I found this product online when I was faced with converting a client SQL Server Database to Oracle DB. When Oracle's migration tools failed miserably and with no support and very little to go on via online articles, I went searching for an alternative. Finding Ispirer's product, I downloaded the free trial, installed it and within 5 or 10 minutes I had already done a trial run. After speaking with Ispirer to get a license that would handle the full database, all I to do was solve my Oracle connectivity issues. With that in place, I ran the conversion and "bingo": all done. Very pleased with this product. Kudos to Ispirer for their brilliant design & implementation and a big thanks to their customer support people! Pros Gets the job done with a minimum of setup. Easy to use, consistent and reliable. Very intelligently designed and well implemented. A joy to use. Cons No complaints at all. Review Source AD Anthony D. Systems Administrator Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "AS/400 Data Conversion to Azure SQL Database" September 2, 2020 5.0 I was tasked converting data tables from our AS/400 and to Azure SQL Database. I reached filled out the online form and was immediately contacted by \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] who so helpful from the beginning right to the end of our project. I would recommend Ispirer to any one who may face the same challenge of converting AS/400 data. Pros The best part of the software was the ease of use. Ispirer provided well detailed documentation so that if any ODBC downloads were needed you were told ahead. Also with a redirect to Microsoft so that you can have a seamless conversion. Cons I have none to report, the product exceeded my expectations. Reason for choosing Ispirer It was the first product I tried and I never looked any further based on the customer service alone. Review Source MC Marcella C. Great software Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great software" November 18, 2022 5.0 Pros The software is easy to use, It was used for a migration from ORACLE to MySQL and it worked beautifully. We had an issue with converting decimal digit, which was fixed by changing the regedit environment variable NLS\_LANG to AMERICAN\_AMERICA.WE8MSWIN1252. everything else went smoothly. Thank you for your assistance and supply. Cons Based on the problem encountered, I might suggest including a check on the mentioned variable before launching the object conversion.

October 4, 2017 5.0 Pros \- Great customer support of Ispirer team who flexibly react to requested changes by providing new releases in a very short time - Wizard-based tool simple to use - With its 'driven flexibility' provides enough power to fit migration process - Detailed trace log - you know what is happening Cons Bigger table you export more RAM you need:) Review Source AA Allan A. Application Manager Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "We have used Ispirer in a big migration project from Informix to MS SQL Server" March 22, 2018 4.0 Pros We had 1 or 2 minor issues with it but overall, it just works. All our data was successfully migrated across but even better, most of the business logic in the DB (ie stored procedures and functions) were migrated successfully with some minor adjustments that we need to make to handle input and output. Cons The handling of input and output to the various stored procedures and functions could be more versatile. Perhaps an option to select how these functions are called could be baked into the product. But overall it was something that we could manage ourselves quite easily so not much of an issue. Review Source Response from Ispirer Systems April 3, 2018 Thank you for your feedback! When purchasing the license with extension requests, the conversion can be improved in accordance with your specific needs. We have enjoyed working with you! CP Chandra P.

Awesome customer support.. 100% success" November 27, 2018 5.0 Really awesome for Cross RDBMS migration Pros We did migrate almost 13 application databases from PostgreSQL to MS SQL, with minimal downtime. The product is easy to use Really good customer support experience Price is good 100% success (OFFLINE migration with minimal downtime) Cons If there is an enhancement to do ONLINE migration, with some solid replication features, I'll believe your product will be ranking #1.

Director - Software Engineer Financial Services Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Excellent tool: Sybase IQ -> MS SQL Server" July 4, 2019 5.0 We were migrating off of Sybase IQ infrastructure to MS SQL Server and looking for a tool that would help with this daunting task. Ispirer MnMTK fit the bill very well. There are very few tools out there that I could find and this one works very well. We will look to use this tool in additional migrations in the future. Pros This tool is designed very well and easy to use. The Support and sales staff are very helpful in the evaluation process. Cons No negatives that I witnessed. Others comment on the time it takes but I do not think that is unexpected based on the size of tables. Review Source DW David W. Department manager Computer Software Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Awesome product" April 10, 2023 5.0 I use Ispirer to convert the MS Sql server database to a PostgresQL database, Ispirer automatically analyzes the database objects, converts the table structure and view definition correctly, and the data is converted correctly, although my view definition is very complicated.Awesome! Pros Ispirer is very accurate and intelligent. Cons It may be that I used it improperly.

Easy to use. and most important, we can see the script , so if needed we can adapt or make easy correction. Pros Ease of use of the gui installation and application.
