It does not just blindly do the pattern based migrations and rather applies good intelligence in doing so. With the awesome support from Ispirer team, we were able to customize some rules to our liking and it delivered perfect results. Using the flexibility offered by the tool, we were able to migrate databases with thousands of objects, with good speed through CLI options. The best part is that once the configurations are tried in test environments, we could simply breeze through our Production migrations without any extra efforts. The proactiveness of the Ispirer sales team and responsiveness of technical team made it a perfect DB migration experience. One thing which can be improved is speed of data migration, when BLOBs are present with high data volume. In general, for migration of couple of hundreds GBs of data (without strict downtime requirements) tool can be of help. ----- ### "Db2 to Postgres conversion for procedure, functions and triggers" — 5.0/5 > **Subhash** | *28 April 2023* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Ispirer has pre-assessment tool which really helps to get the exact idea about the conversion and the costing. The conversion tool is very easy to install and use. We had to do some customization and some changes in the tool as some of the procedures were not getting converted properly. Ispirer team was very helpful and providing fixes time to time. > > **Cons**: It was all good and i don't have anything to add here. > > Overall it was good experience using this tool and all our procedures, functions and triggers got converted successfully. ----- ### "Ispirer tool review on converting Oracle pl/sql to Teradata USP" — 4.0/5 > **Netaji** | *13 March 2023* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: 1. Tool is very user friendly to operate and installation is quick and easy2. Customization is easy to meet the project requirements without affect the other functionalities 3. Good for simple code conversions > > **Cons**: 1. Complex functionalities (Ex. handling multiple cursors, variable data types, batch processing and dynamic SQLs and updates) are not addressed in code conversion which lead to more manual efforts2. Support team was expecting equivalent solution in Teradata for Oracle functions which were not converted properly in the beginning ----- ### "PostgreSQL migration success" — 5.0/5 > **Kiki** | *13 February 2024* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Our migration from MSSQL server to PostgreSQL was facilitated by ISpirer. We are very happy and content with the support we got from ISpirer. We had some SQL Server specific constructions in our database, like the use of HiearchyIDs for instance, that simply do not exist in the PostgreSQL world. But ISpirer helped us work around this, by writing a customization that, in this case, leverages the use of the PostgreSQL function ltree. Another thing we encountered is that the migration was initially quite slow. It turned out we were not using the native mssql drivers in our DSN. After specific instructions from ISpirer the duration of a migration was reduced from 8 hours to 20-30 minutes. Because we have hundreds of databases that need to be migrated, automating the whole process was key for us. ISpirer helped us achieve just that, through their excellent tooling, customizations, and support. > > **Cons**: The migration was quite slow when using the wrong ODBC driver. It could have been more clear that that would be the effect when choosing a DSN. ----- ### "Ispirer software and customer support was remarkable" — 5.0/5 > **Simon** | *20 November 2023* | Government Administration | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The conversion software simplified our Oracle to SQL project and reduced the amount of work we had to do. The company provided exceptional customer service and felt like an extension of our team. > > **Cons**: The software was easy to install and Ispirer provide customizations where the tool was initially unable to convert some of our stored procedures. > > Very good experience. The company was responsive to our questions and issues and the software functioned well. ----- Page: 1 / 4\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/294064/Ispirer-toolkit?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/294064/Ispirer-toolkit) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
