It is stable and we did not have any issues with initial setup. I am not sure if there are various connectors available in the recent version to support the wide range of sources available.

I am not sure if there are various connectors available in the recent version of Pervasive DI to support the wide range of sources available (e.g., big data, cloud, EME) I have been using it for 6-7 months. There were no concerns with the stability. This product is very good from a stability…

Real-time data streaming has simplified transformations and kept enterprise databases synchronized

Oracle GoldenGate is good, but I would like to improve it. There is a need for whoever installs and configures Oracle GoldenGate to set the correct parameters for the use cases we need to use. In some cases, we had performance problems related to the streaming because there was a lot of information to stream concurrently. However, you can tune Oracle GoldenGate to use more RAM on the source side or more processes. I think that sometimes what is missing is knowledge about the tool from the person responsible for configuration. At this moment, Oracle GoldenGate is a very good tool, and I do not know in which area we can improve it. Perhaps the debug part of the tool could be improved. In some cases, I use the utility for how Oracle GoldenGate generates messages about the statements that it streams because of bugs, and in some cases, it is not very user-friendly. It may be possible to improve the API or the path related to debugging, but not the tool itself. The tool itself is good. I remember that in some configurations, we had problems with the streaming of DDL, which are changes to Oracle object structures such as tables and procedures. A new feature could be to perform streaming for operational objects such as procedures, functions, packages, or grants. This would synchronize source and target for these aspects, not only for data or the main types of structures, but also for others. I remember that there was some configuration in which you performed the streaming of the entire schema, or if you performed streaming for only tables, then you were unable to stream grants and other Oracle objects. I think it is important to introduce that capability.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"For data transfers and ETLs on Windows, this is a great product."

"Web based interface."

"This product is extremely useful and better than building an in-house solution."

"We have been using it for ETL, it is very robust and easy to use."

"There were no concerns with the stability. This product is very good from a stability perspective."

"You can use Oracle GoldenGate as a DR for your system."

"We can replicate data across different data centers and different technologies."

"It moves the data as you set it up, and it works. I am also very impressed with its stability and scalability. It is not super feature-rich, but the new releases have more functionality. It recently had more native integrations with Oracle Database. If you are using it against an Oracle database, it has a lot more functionality."

"GoldenGate can connect and collect data from multiple sources, such as SQL Server."

"Many of the features of Oracle GoldenGate are valuable. We use Oracle databases and this tool is from Oracle, making it have superior compatibility."

"Oracle GoldenGate is a stable solution because a lot of my customers use it and it doesn't hang."

"The most valuable features of Oracle GoldenGate are the schema application and performance."

"This is a powerful solution provided by one of the most respected companies in the computer industry."

Cons

"At the moment, we can't even use it for 1, since it keeps failing in our QA testing."

"Technical support is an area which can definitely improve."

"I am not sure if there are various connectors available in the recent version of Pervasive DI to support the wide range of sources available (e.g., big data, cloud, EME)."

"The areas which I think need to be improved are the transform and load steps."

"The price of Oracle GoldenGate should be lowered. It is expensive compared to other solutions."

"If we have a lot of problems during the replication or if we experience poor performance during the replication, the business team waiting for a result in Singapore or New York cannot work, and all reporting is stopped because the replication is taking more time or because the process is abandoned, affecting our cost savings and business efficiency."

"It would be better for Oracle Golden Gate Studio GUI to include other licensed products (i.e. Veridata or others)."

"IBM CDC has one central control while Oracle GoldenGate has two controls. In IBM CDC we can do all things in frontend. The solution needs to incorporate a feature where we can connect it to a standby database."

"The solution needs to improve its latency, monitoring and support."

"It is not a very stable tool, and you need to monitor it perfectly."

"Oracle support is very frustrating in terms of how they pass tickets back and forth and don't read your problem statement."

"The product is not easy to use."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"The price of this solution is good."

"The price of Oracle GoldenGate should be lowered. It is expensive compared to other solutions."

"Its price can be better. It is a bit crazy, and its licensing is very difficult to understand. I would rate it one out of five in terms of pricing. There don't seem to be any additional costs."

"We have an enterprise license for it. It might be for three years or so. I'm not aware of any additional costs to the standard licensing fee."

"The tool needs to improve its pricing."

"The one feature that I think Oracle could perhaps consider is, at the moment, the Veridata option is an extra cost. Golden Gate is an expensive product. You pay a lot for the best. But not including the Veridata license to prove that everything is working correctly... The big improvement for me would be to have that license built in. That would take it to the next level. That would make it a much better product. You may want to look at buying term licenses if you've just got a single migration to do. In that situation, you might want a term license for perhaps a year to save a lot of money, rather than buying a perpetual license."

"The solution would be costly for a small organization."

"The product is expensive."
