Executive SummaryUpdated on Dec 19, 2024

Oracle GoldenGate and Spring Cloud Data Flow compete in the realm of data integration and management. Oracle GoldenGate appears to have the upper hand in reliability and integration with Oracle products, while Spring Cloud Data Flow offers a cost-effective and flexible open-source solution suitable for cloud environments.

Features: Oracle GoldenGate excels in real-time data replication, supports multiple databases like SQL Server and DB2, and offers strong Change Data Capture capabilities. It provides bi-directional replication and integrates well with other Oracle products. Meanwhile, Spring Cloud Data Flow simplifies the orchestration of microservices with easy cloud integrations, delivers a straightforward programming model, and features automatic configuration for tasks.

Room for Improvement: Oracle GoldenGate faces challenges with high licensing costs, complexity in integration with non-Oracle systems, and a need for a more intuitive user interface. Conversely, Spring Cloud Data Flow needs enhancements in user interface design, expanded technical support, and more comprehensive documentation, as users find complexities in configuration and troubleshooting difficult to manage.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Oracle GoldenGate is widely compatible with both on-premises and hybrid cloud setups, though it receives mixed reviews on its technical support responsiveness. Spring Cloud Data Flow is noted for effortless private cloud deployment and quicker support response in critical situations but suffers from limited community support affecting complex issue resolution.

Pricing and ROI: Oracle GoldenGate, though viewed as expensive due to its pricing model based on core usage and additional components, offers significant ROI because of its advanced features for large-scale deployments. Spring Cloud Data Flow benefits from being open-source with core features available for free, making it appealing for those seeking a cost-effective solution with added charges only for support services.

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.

Provides ease of integration with other cloud platforms

Spring Cloud Data Flow is a useful product if I consider how there are different providers with whom my company had to deal, and most of them offer cloud-based products. I can't explain any crucial circumstances where the product's integration capabilities were helpful, but the aforementioned details explain the scenario for which I used the solution. I was only involved with the development of the product and not with the data pipeline configuration phase. The use of Spring Cloud Data Flow greatly impacted projects' time to market since our company's intention was to actually deploy and ensure that the payment platform integrated with it, which was an easy process. The product's user interface was very intuitive. The tool was deployed in multiple environments, but I am not sure about the production. From the time I started taking up the job in my current organization, I saw that we have deployed the tool in multiple environments wherein the number of users extensively used the product in the UAT environment, which is one of the most stable environments. There were 20 different methods to test the tool. I wouldn't be able to tell you the production details of the tool as I was more part of the production deployment, but I can say that it was deployed with the intent of making it available for 10,000 users. Those who plan to use the product should enjoy the flexibility of the solution. I rate the tool a nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is a scalable solution."

"I am impressed with the tool's possibility of integrating different systems in a unified place."

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

"One feature that stands out for me is the data center capability."

"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."

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

"It allows us to migrate from one system to another, from one server to another, with no downtime, no outage. We can get the data synchronized with multiple databases and then switch the connectivity across to the new servers."

"GoldenGate enables us to merge and transform data from various sources in real time. It's a powerful tool that can read and load most data sources."

More Oracle GoldenGate pros

"The most valuable feature is real-time streaming."

"There are a lot of options in Spring Cloud. It's flexible in terms of how we can use it. It's a full infrastructure."

"The solution's most valuable feature is that it allows us to use different batch data sources, retrieve the data, and then do the data processing, after which we can convert and store it in the target."

"The most valuable features of Spring Cloud Data Flow are the simple programming model, integration, dependency Injection, and ability to do any injection. Additionally, auto-configuration is another important feature because we don't have to configure the database and or set up the boilerplate in the database in every project. The composability is good, we can create small workloads and compose them in any way we like."

"The ease of deployment on Kubernetes, the seamless integration for orchestration of various pipelines, and the visual dashboard that simplifies operations even for non-specialists such as quality analysts."

"The product is very user-friendly."

"The dashboards in Spring Cloud Dataflow are quite valuable."

"The best thing I like about Spring Cloud Data Flow is its plug-and-play model."

Cons

"There is room for improvement in Oracle GoldenGate's pricing, which is a bit high."

"The solution's performance needs improvement."

"A clean and user-friendly graphical interface based on common design principles would be beneficial."

"It would be great if Oracle added some enhanced features or more functionalities to Oracle GoldenGate."

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

"The product is not easy to use."

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

"Microservices Architecture is not user-friendly."

More Oracle GoldenGate cons

"Spring Cloud Data Flow is not an easy-to-use tool, so improvements are required."

"There were instances of deployment pipelines getting stuck, and the dashboard not always accurately showing the application status, requiring manual intervention such as rerunning applications or refreshing the dashboard."

"The configurations could be better. Some configurations are a little bit time-consuming in terms of trying to understand using the Spring Cloud documentation."

"Some of the features, like the monitoring tools, are not very mature and are still evolving."

"Spring Cloud Data Flow could improve the user interface. We can drag and drop in the application for the configuration and settings, and deploy it right from the UI, without having to run a CI/CD pipeline. However, that does not work with Kubernetes, it only works when we are working with jars as the Spring Cloud Data Flow applications."

"On the tool's online discussion forums, you may get stuck with an issue, making it an area where improvements are required."

"The solution's community support could be improved."

"I would improve the dashboard features as they are not very user-friendly."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"The solution is highly-priced."

"The return on investment would make it a worthwhile deal."

"We pay a yearly licensing fee for Oracle GoldenGate, which is very expensive."

"Oracle GoldenGate's license can be expensive compared to other solutions like Qlik Replicate or SAP Replicate."

"Licensing for Oracle GoldenGate is paid yearly."

"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 licensing model should be improved to be more cost-effective for the end users."

More Oracle GoldenGate pricing and cost advice

"If you want support from Spring Cloud Data Flow there is a fee. The Spring Framework is open-source and this is a free solution."

"The solution provides value for money, and we are currently using its community edition."

"This is an open-source product that can be used free of charge."

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."
