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

"The solution, especially the last version, is very stable; even with 3000 data sources and a complex framework, we are finding the solution to be very reliable."
"This solution provides us with real-time replication and it does not affect the performance of other operations, which is very important to us."
"The platform's most helpful features are its speed and its guarantee of data replication from one database to another."
"My advice to others is Oracle GoldenGate is one of the best solutions."
"When we are replicating data between similar databases then it is straightforward."
"The replication of the data table is one of the best features."
"Oracle GoldenGate is a stable solution because a lot of my customers use it and it doesn't hang."
"It's very simple to configure, it's very simple to implement. In addition, the ability it has to capture data and transmit it with incredible speed is better than any of the product out there. It's extremely powerful."
"Precisely has the AI Act already implemented into the data catalog, which allows the integration of the European Artificial Intelligence Act into our processes."
"Using Precisely improves data quality, which can lead to a 30% increase in revenue and boost net income by 20% to 25% if implemented correctly."
 

Cons

"In the future, I would appreciate a more user-friendly monitoring interface for easier management and troubleshooting."
"What needs improvement in Oracle GoldenGate is the support."
"Some issues regarding stability need to be resolved."
"The solution's licensing price is very expensive and could be made more competitive."
"The tool's connections are disconnected at times. The tool needs to integrate other databases."
"It should be easier to integrate this solution with non-Oracle databases, including cloud-based solutions hosted on Azure."
"I would like to see the interface more graphical and easier to use."
"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."
"Precisely works with a tool called Analyze, which has a steep learning curve due to its use of Jython, a combination of Java and Python. This could be improved to make the tool more user-friendly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We pay a yearly licensing fee for Oracle GoldenGate, which is very expensive."
"The price is high. Consequently, when clients or customers acquire the solution, they tend to utilize it to its maximum extent due to this factor."
"The solution is highly-priced."
"The price of Oracle GoldenGate should be lowered. It is expensive compared to other solutions."
"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."
"Licensing for Oracle GoldenGate is paid yearly."
"The solution would be costly for a small organization."
"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."
