What do you dislike about AWS Database Migration Service?

sometimes when a DMS task fails i have to restart the whole task from scratch to fix the error. also recoverable errors put the task in 'failed' state which triggers our alarms. but since it's a recoverable error we can't really act on the alarm untill it fails on reties.
