Handles migrations well and has reduced our downtime
For small databases that are less than a terabyte, GoldenGate handles the migration well. You don't need much input so long as the processes don't upend. As soon as there's a problem, then, obviously, you need to diagnose it. It all depends on the scenario, on the size of the databases, whether you're doing schema replication, or table replication. We normally do the whole database, taking everything across. Finally, because this is an Oracle product, there is support available 24/7.

Supports API integrations and enables users to handle data management
Informatica is a well-established product known for its stability. Hardware and configuration can affect its performance, and it's not a lightweight tool that will fail quickly. When purchasing Informatica, you have options based on your needs. A simple data ingestion or integration license is relatively affordable, but the full Data Fabric suite is expensive. The Data Fabric suite includes integration, data quality, API management, big data processing, and real-time capabilities. For those who don't need the entire suite, purchasing individual components, such as data integration or data quality, it is a more cost-effective option. These individual licenses are generally less expensive than the complete Data Fabric suite, offering a more flexible and budget-friendly choice than Informatica's flagship.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We can replicate data across different data centers and different technologies."
"They've recently improved the ease of implementation."
"The product's microservice architecture is scalable."
"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."
"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."
"It is quite scalable."
"The live application feature is most valuable. The solution is stable. I rate it a seven out of ten."
"We use the tool to pull on-prem data."
"It is a smart tool for us to design data pipelines. It lets us populate our three data lake instances. We like this solution for its connection capabilities, since it is very important to be able to use many different types of software. We tested a lot of SAP sources successfully, including cloud sources with SAP. It is also very easy to anonymize data with TIBCO, as well as populating HDFS files, packet files, and raw files. It is very easy to do that with Talend Data Fabric."
"We've had no issues with the stability so far."
"Everything in Talend Data Fabric is GUI-based, making it very user-friendly and easy to learn quickly."
"Talend can be used for multi-cloud purposes, allowing users to orchestrate data across various cloud platforms without purchasing AWS Glue, Azure Data Factory, or similar cloud-specific tools."
"The Talend data integration has been one of the most valuable features."
"The initial setup is very easy."
 

Cons

"The solution's performance needs improvement."
"The front-end management isn't very good."
"The product is not easy to use."
"Microservices Architecture is not user-friendly."
"A clean and user-friendly graphical interface based on common design principles would be beneficial."
"The product lacks some features and it's expensive."
"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."
"What needs improvement in Oracle GoldenGate is the support. Another feature that needs to be improved in the solution is its GUI. It would be useful for programmers or users to be able to work from the GUI, not just from the command line. Simplifying how Oracle GoldenGate is used would also make the solution better."
"We are currently using version 7.3.1, but preferred the version before. The problem that we currently have is that Talend are releasing patches for Talend Studio every quarter. Our technical team has to be on top of these patches and constantly ensure everything is updated."
"Talend's architecture is complex to configure, especially due to the various components involved. It requires a more intricate setup."
"Deployment can be difficult, but I didn't test the latest version yet. With Talend products, every release brings a lot of new features and functionalities. This is never a small adaptation, because the tool is maturing, but we need to test the latest version and to check its deployment capabilities."
"The support is not very good. The team is not well-trained, and resolving a ticket can require several discussions."
"I would like to see better integration with other tools."
"We encounter issues getting email notifications. They should provide enough information about the configuration process for email components."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is an expensive product."
"The solution would be costly for a small organization."
"We do like the price of this solution."
"The product is expensive."
"We pay a yearly licensing fee for Oracle GoldenGate, which is very expensive."
"Pricing is based on anual licensing with additional costs for support packages."
"The tool is a bit expensive."
"Oracle GoldenGate's license can be expensive compared to other solutions like Qlik Replicate or SAP Replicate."
"There are multiple subscriptions available with Talend, each with its own scope. Subscriptions depend on the number of users you have and how many remote engines you want to install."
"There are no additional licensing fees when you scale"
