What is our primary use case?
I use Striim to perform change data capture from relational databases to non-relational databases in my organization. I implement CDC with Striim by transferring data from Oracle Database to MongoDB in my environment.
I have a series of monitored tables where every time a change occurs in the source database, the data is transferred to the target database. The synchronization process is straightforward and efficient for my daily data flows.
What is most valuable?
I consider the best features that Striim offers to be great performance and a large number of sources and targets that can be connected.
Striim is capable of absorbing a large number of transactions, and the difference between the two databases is always less than a second, which demonstrates efficiency and highlights the variety of sources and targets I have used.
Striim has had a positive impact on my organization as it has solved stability issues that I had with other tools.
What needs improvement?
I think Striim could be improved with better pricing and enhanced documentation.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Striim for approximately three years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I faced stability problems where the synchronization between the source and target databases would break. That problem has been completely resolved with Striim.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I would describe the scalability of Striim as very good, as it adapts well.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
Before using Striim, I employed Debezium for data replication. I decided to switch from Debezium to Striim because Debezium was not completely stable.
What was our ROI?
I have seen a clear return on investment with Striim, particularly in the reduction of incidents. The incidents have disappeared completely since I have been using Striim.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
My experience with the pricing, implementation cost, and licensing of Striim is that it is somewhat expensive.
What other advice do I have?
I consider Striim to be a stable platform. My advice to other companies considering using Striim is that they should take it into account because of its great versatility. I have given this review a rating of eight.
