AWS Schema Conversion Tool vs Device42

AWS Schema Conversion Tool (AWS SCT) converts database schemas between engines, including relational OLTP, data warehouse, and NoSQL schemas. If it cannot automate a conversion, it gives guidance for creating an equivalent schema in the target database. A project wizard estimates migration complexity for supported destinations and generates a report for comparing target options. For warehouse migrations to Amazon Redshift, it can manage data extraction agents; it can also create, run, and monitor AWS DMS endpoints and tasks. AWS SCT converts SQL embedded in C++, C#, Java, and other application code for users to review, edit, and save. Supported workload conversions include SSIS packages, Teradata workloads, and Apache Oozie workflows to specified AWS services. It is both a standalone, project-based application and a command-line tool. Planned converted schemas stay local until applied to the target. AWS SCT is free and supports 64-bit Microsoft Windows, Fedora Linux, and Ubuntu Linux. It also supports FIPS standards for connections to Amazon S3 or another AWS resource and is compliant with FedRAMP.

Device42 provides agentless discovery, asset management, and dependency mapping for data center, cloud, and hybrid IT environments. Its scope includes CMDB, DCIM, ITAM, IPAM, password management, and application dependency mapping, in a self-hosted deployment. It can discover network devices through SNMP and cloud resources across AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, Oracle Cloud, and OpenStack.

For data centers, its visual models cover buildings, rooms, racks, cabling, and patch panels, with power and temperature heat maps. Core includes discovery, inventory and asset management, integrations, REST APIs and webhooks, warranty and SSL certificate management, cable and password management, and IPAM. Device42 also tracks software licenses, contracts, and barcodes, and lists more than 30 integrations. Licenses count devices with IP addresses; non-IP assets do not count, and user seats are unlimited. If the device limit is exceeded, the software keeps running but stops collecting additional information until the license is increased. Pricing is available on request, and a free trial is offered.
