Executive SummaryUpdated on Dec 19, 2024

Oracle GoldenGate and Qlik Compose compete in the data integration and data replication category. Oracle GoldenGate has the upper hand in replication features, while Qlik Compose excels in ETL and automation.

Features: Oracle GoldenGate is known for its seamless data replication, low training costs, and ability to handle bi-directional replication with a small software footprint. Its capability for real-time replication across various types of databases offers flexibility and stability, particularly in Oracle environments. Qlik Compose is recognized for its ETL and data integration capabilities, straightforward interface, and automation features, efficiently integrating data from diverse sources.

Room for Improvement: Oracle GoldenGate could improve in ease of use, reduce licensing costs, and develop enhanced monitoring tools. It can be complex, often requiring skilled personnel, and lacks support for databases such as Epic's Caché. Qlik Compose requires better monitoring, auto-fix solutions for job failures, handling of complex data transformations, and support for large data volumes.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Both Oracle GoldenGate and Qlik Compose can be deployed on-premises and in various cloud environments. However, Oracle GoldenGate provides more extensive hybrid cloud options, appealing to users with diverse infrastructure needs. In customer service, Oracle GoldenGate support has been inconsistent, with some users noting delays in resolving issues, while Qlik Compose is praised for efficient support despite its complexity requiring regular assistance.

Pricing and ROI: Oracle GoldenGate is an expensive solution with high licensing costs, offering excellent ROI in disaster recovery scenarios and large-scale projects. Its cost is justifiable due to time savings in data integration. Qlik Compose, although expensive, provides a better cost-efficiency ratio if its automation and integration features are fully utilized, especially compared to tools like Tableau.

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.

Easy matching and reconciliation of data

The initial setup was easy for the data warehousing concept. But for a person who is new to ETL and warehousing concepts, it may take some time. If someone is familiar with these concepts, they could understand and learn the tool quickly. However, compared to other tools, the UI is complex. It would be helpful to have a better UI and documentation for new users. As of now, there is a challenge in learning the Compose tool for new users altogether. Qlik Compose was deployed on-premises. But the servers, like the SQL servers were maintained on the cloud—the managed instances.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We use the tool to pull on-prem data."

"The initial setup is straightforward. It doesn't take too much time or effort to implement the solution."

"The most valuable feature is data replication capability."

"Oracle GoldenGate is beneficial for data replication and ensures secure data transport."

"The most valuable feature of Oracle GoldenGate is its ability to sync data in real-time, which is crucial for me."

"It works best with Oracle."

"The live application feature is most valuable. The solution is stable. I rate it a seven out of ten."

"What I have found the most valuable about GoldenGate is that it does real-time and no-downtime migrations. Its migrations are fast. There are not many tools like it on the marketplace."

More Oracle GoldenGate pros

"The most valuable is its excellence as a graphical data representation tool and the versatility it offers, especially with drill-down capabilities."

"I have found it to be a very good, stable, and strong product."

"The technical support is very good. I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."

"Qlik Compose is good enough. It is user-friendly and intuitive."

"It is a scalable solution."

"There were many valuable features, such as extracting any data to put in the cloud. For example, Qlik was able to gather data from SAP and extract SAP data from the platforms."

"One of the most valuable features was the ability to integrate multiple source systems that mainly used structured IDBMS versions."

"I like modeling and code generation. It has become a pretty handy tool because of its short ideation to delivery time. From the time you decide you are modeling a data warehouse, and once you finish the modeling, it generates all the code, generates all the tables. All you have to do is tick a few things, and you can produce a fully functional warehouse. I also like that they have added all the features I have asked for over four years."

More Qlik Compose pros

Cons

"Oracle GoldenGate's installation is not user-friendly, we had to read a lot of documentation for the setup and configuration."

"It should be easier to integrate this solution with non-Oracle databases, including cloud-based solutions hosted on Azure."

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

"The problem with GoldenGate is it is very complex to use. You need heavyweight skills to use it."

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

"The solution costs a lot."

"The solution sometimes has issues with long transactions and replication delays. Its pricing needs improvement."

"The solution is quite costly, and if they could reduce their pricing, it would be more economical to implement."

More Oracle GoldenGate cons

"It could enhance its capabilities in the realm of self-service options as currently, it is more suited for individuals with technical proficiency who can create pages using it."

"I believe that visual data flow management and the transformation function should be improved."

"My issues with the solution's stability are owing to the fact that it has certain bugs causing issues in some functionalities that should be working."

"Qlik's ETL and data transformation could be better."

"The solution has room for improvement in the ETL. They have an ETL, but when it comes to the monitoring portion, Qlik Compose doesn't provide a feature for monitoring."

"There is some scope for improvement around the documentation, and a better UI would definitely help."

"I'd like to have access to more developer training materials."

"It would be better if the first level of technical support were a bit more technically knowledgeable to solve the problem. I think they could also improve the injection of custom scripts. It is pretty difficult to add additional scripts. If the modeling doesn't give you what you want, and you want to change the script generated by the modeling, it is a bit more challenging than in most other products. It is very good with standard form type systems, but if you get a more complicated data paradigm, it tends to struggle with transforming that into a model."

More Qlik Compose cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"Oracle GoldenGate's cost is high."

"The product is 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."

"We do like the price of this solution."

"Oracle GoldenGate is a high-priced solution because it follows the core-based pricing model versus the software-based pricing model of other solutions."

"We have purchased corporate licensing to use Oracle GoldenGate."

"The price of this solution is good."

More Oracle GoldenGate pricing and cost advice

"The price of the solution is expensive."

"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is very expensive, I rate the solution a six."

"While they outperform Tableau, there's room for improvement in Qlik's pricing structures, especially for corporate clients like us."

Overview

Oracle GoldenGate is a real-time data integration and database replication solution. It can detect data events and route them across networks at very low latencies and integrates well with 100s of combinations of non-Oracle databases, data stores, and clouds.

Oracle GoldenGate Features

Oracle GoldenGate has many valuable key features, including:

Simple to use web interface
Fast and easy installation or provisioning
Command line access via AdminClient that can run anywhere
RESTful APIs for DevOps
Offers built-in monitoring but also can be easily adapted to roll your own monitoring
APIs are protected by Cross Site Request Forgery (CSRF) authentication.

Oracle GoldenGate Benefits

Some of the benefits of using Oracle GoldenGate include:

Oracle GoldenGate is deeply integrated with the Oracle Database (logging, redo, backup and recovery layer, security, administration, data guard, data vault, autonomous database etc.).
It is the most stable, performant, and reliable CDC / replication solution for Oracle.
High performance: Oracle GoldenGate is capable of sub-second latency for data movement. featuring low impact capture, routing, transformation, and delivery of transactional data.
GoldenGate is the only CDC / replication tool that keeps pace with new and emerging innovations (security, features, data types, etc) in the core Oracle Database.
The solution supports a wide range of use cases, from conventional OLTP data replication and high availability to data lake ingestion or multi-cloud ingestion, SaaS application replication, and messaging replication.
GoldenGate is the only CDC / replication technology certified for Exadata, Exadata Cloud Service, and Exadata Cloud at Customer.
For fault-tolerance, GoldenGate has its own mechanism to keep track of how much work is completed and how much is pending. This mechanism is independent of any database and ensures, with the help of automatic gap-resolution, that no data loss occurs.
GoldenGate uses its own proprietary format files for keeping the committed data coming from the source database, making it independently functional irrespective of the database in use.
To maintain the performance and consistency, only committed data is sent. Uncommitted data is captured by GoldenGate, but is discarded after receiving a Rollback.
With GoldenGate, data sending is in “near real time,” which reduces the possibility of latency.

Reviews from Real Users

Below are some reviews and helpful feedback written by Oracle GoldenGate users.

PeerSpot user Steve-J., Cloud Migration Software Consultant - UK & EMEA at 1PLACE, says, "What I have found the most valuable about GoldenGate is that it does real-time and no-downtime migrations. Its migrations are fast. There are not many tools like it on the marketplace."

Pinak S., Senior Manager of System and Database at ESL, mentions, “We like how in GoldenGate the heterogeneous database is supported. Sometimes the client actually needs a schedule and needs to ensure the state of databases for reporting purposes. With that in mind, we have been able to configure GoldenGate for certain schema. The solution is quite stable. They've recently improved the ease of implementation.”

A Database Administrator at a manufacturing company explains, "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."

An Oracle ERP DBA Consultant - Oracle Super Cluster T5-8 Admin at a government comments, "GoldenGate can connect and collect data from multiple sources, such as SQL Server."
