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.

Effective data transformation and integration in complex environments with high functionality
Something that could be improved in WSO2 Enterprise Integrator is that the problem is not a lack of capability or functionalities. The problem is that it is a very complex environment. To put your hand on this environment is a very demanding task. This is the real problem. The problem is not about the product, but about the complexity to manage, to configure, to decide what to do. I have some experience using SAP R/3. It seems to me something similar. When you have to configure a situation with a client, especially for a client not in an industrial sector, but in a service sector, it is quite usual that you are in trouble for some reason. This is always the story that I found in the implementations I have done. Maybe there are only three or four big problems, in some other cases there are more than that, but this is the situation usually. For WSO2 Enterprise Integrator, not the same, but I must say it is quite often there is a need to put together some pieces and make it work in a coordinated way.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This solution has a well-known procedure for troubleshooting and tuning the performance, providing for smooth operation."
"I like that the product transforms data and provides real-time applications."
"The initial setup is straightforward. It doesn't take too much time or effort to implement the solution."
"Many of the features of Oracle GoldenGate are valuable. We use Oracle databases and this tool is from Oracle, making it have superior compatibility."
"The most valuable features of Oracle GoldenGate are the schema application and performance."
"The live application feature is most valuable. The solution is stable. I rate it a seven out of ten."
"It scales well. You can either have it working in with the databases, or you can move it outside. It's got the ability to parallelize up, so you can certainly extract and replay the data from your databases in parallel. So it does have horizontal scalability. That is probably one of its stronger features, the ability just to automatically parallelize the replay and playing of data to allow to scale to large volumes."
"For small databases, GoldenGate handles the migration well."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is the integration between core banking and other systems."
"Currently, I find the configuration part quite valuable, where you can easily configure things."
"I like the user-friendly system and development of the service-oriented architecture."
"The stability is excellent."
"The solution has two main parts: integration and transformation. It's very user-friendly and easy to understand for everyone."
"It's a consolidated product. It works and it does its job pretty well."
"While I am still exploring the solution, I've so far been pretty satisfied with it."
"It's a very complete product. It allows us to network security and add more layers of security to the system."
 

Cons

"Licensing cost is higher as compared to other replication products."
"In some cases, expectations were not met, especially when specific tables were expected to be disabled, and changes were anticipated in the target environment. We had to take backups from the source and refresh the address to address this."
"I would like to see the interface more graphical and easier to use."
"Oracle GoldenGate could improve the price."
"The tool's connections are disconnected at times. The tool needs to integrate other databases."
"Oracle GoldenGate Studio could be more user-friendly."
"Oracle GoldenGate's installation is not user-friendly, we had to read a lot of documentation for the setup and configuration."
"The solution's performance needs improvement."
"They should release upgrades more frequently."
"The micro integrator should be improved. There is room for enhancement considering alternative integration components."
"You cannot include the validation of XPath."
"The scalability is not strong. If you want to scale it you have to install multiple servers."
"The integration capabilities need to be improved."
"If I have to buy software, then it becomes expensive for me."
"In my opinion, the administration model and interface, of Carbon, are lacking in terms of its features and user experience."
"The configuration of the product is not an easy task for everyone."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution would be costly for a small organization."
"Oracle GoldenGate's license can be expensive compared to other solutions like Qlik Replicate or SAP Replicate."

"We pay a yearly licensing fee for Oracle GoldenGate, which is very expensive."
"The tool is a bit expensive."
"The return on investment would make it a worthwhile deal."
"We do like the price of this solution."
