When Full Convert is the better choice
- One very large, one-time migration where parallel workers and parallel index creation shorten the cutover window (Ultimate).
- Sources dbSlice does not read: Access, DB2, Sybase, FoxPro, Progress, Excel and the other databases on its list.
- You want one tool to create the whole target schema (tables, indexes, foreign keys) as part of the migration. dbSlice shows the
CREATE TABLEfor your DBA and moves the data.
When dbSlice fits better
- The job does not end at cutover: replicas, reporting copies or nightly refreshes that run for months.
- You need InterSystems Caché or IRIS without setting up ODBC.
- You copy production into test environments and need masking in flight with keys intact.
- You also need to send rows to Kafka, RabbitMQ or a REST API.
- The budget is a one-time US$ 89.99 per user rather than an annual plan.
- Running in production for more than six years in mission-critical environments, across multiple data centers and on-premises, with SQL Server, PostgreSQL, Aurora and InterSystems Caché/IRIS.
Try both on your own data
Run the same tables through each tool on your own servers and compare counts, time and how each one treats your data types. Network, disk and indexes matter more than any vendor's numbers.
