Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
7.0
Rivery scales effectively, integrating diverse data sources, supporting increased use, and connecting to databases and tools like Snowflake and Tableau.
Sentiment score
6.4
Striim is scalable and cost-effective for moderate data, excelling in hybrid clouds, though challenging with very high volumes.
It has handled growing data volumes and additional pipelines without major issues.
software tester at a consultancy with 11-50 employees
The focus is on the ability to connect to different sources and to put all the data together.
Data Analyst at a computer software company with 11-50 employees
Our licensing was based on the number of cores, so even if we have a high number of events on any given day, our license cost would not go high.
Data Engineer
When it comes to scaling with Striim as workloads increase, it has been quite helpful and could adapt easily, saving considerable time in delegation and follow-up because I only need to roll back scripts to ensure that nothing goes wrong.
SQL Server Senior DBA at a media company with 11-50 employees
I would describe the scalability of Striim as very good, as it adapts well.
Cloud architect at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees

Room For Improvement

Rivery needs better dependency analysis, user-friendly interface, AI integration, and competitive pricing with improved analytics and visualization.
Striim needs to improve CDC handling, documentation, pricing, user-friendliness, and enhance features like schema mapping and AI integration.
As an end-to-end solution for ETL with Snowflake, Rivery has proven to be reliable and efficient in my day-to-day work.
software tester at a consultancy with 11-50 employees
Agentic AI with open source tools can be used to build all configurations automatically for pipelines.
Researcher at a educational organization with 11-50 employees
One feature that stood out in Informatica was the ability to see data flowing through each transformation step while debugging, which I felt was missing in Rivery.
CDL at Ycotek
I believe if Striim could use some part of AWS secrets or its own secret mechanism to store the password, that would really save a lot of time so that I don't have to keep updating the password whenever there is any change.
Data Engineer
They could improve the documentation by showing how to configure with different platforms.
Technology Specialist Database at a retailer with 10,001+ employees
Striim can be improved by providing tools such as short videos or step-by-step manuals to clearly demonstrate its capabilities and help users learn quickly.

Setup Cost

Rivery's pricing is competitive but can be steep for small businesses, with complex integrations increasing costs significantly.
Striim's pricing can be high due to variable integration costs, but success often justifies expenses despite some challenges.
I found myself asking my stakeholder to make it only five times a day because it was really expensive.
Manager, Application at a non-profit with 1,001-5,000 employees
I found the pricing and licensing to be fair and competitive compared to other solutions I have seen.
Manager, Business Intelligence at WalkMe - the Enterprise-Class Online Guidance and Engagement platform.
Licensing was a bit more expensive because Striim has to read from Oracle GoldenGate trail files and also integrate them.
Technology Specialist Database at a retailer with 10,001+ employees
My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is that it is costly.
Senior Analyst at a comms service provider with 5,001-10,000 employees
My experience with the pricing, implementation cost, and licensing of Striim is that it is somewhat expensive.
Cloud architect at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
 

Valuable Features

Rivery excels in seamless integration, user-friendly design, and efficient data processing, appealing to various technical skill levels.
Striim offers real-time data streaming, smooth replication, and supports multiple sources, enhancing data migration with no downtime.
Rivery saved time and money because everything was handled in one place by only one or two data people instead of using the resources of a development team, which is great, and all the knowledge is handled in one team.
Manager, Application at a non-profit with 1,001-5,000 employees
The main benefit Rivery brought to my organization was the time we were able to save on development.
Researcher at a educational organization with 11-50 employees
Rivery has positively impacted my organization by reducing the need for a big team of data engineers and speeding up the work when we need to connect to a new data source; this can happen really fast.
Manager, Business Intelligence at WalkMe - the Enterprise-Class Online Guidance and Engagement platform.
Striim is capable of absorbing a large number of transactions, and the difference between the two databases is always less than a second, which demonstrates efficiency.
Cloud architect at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
There were significant improvements because once we enabled change data capture, the database was not going down at all.
Data Engineer
It reduces manual intervention because it automatically syncs the data from the warehouse.

Training has boosted custom ETL scripting and now debugging complex incremental loads needs work
The best feature Rivery offers is the ability to build custom or user-defined functions. You can even develop Python scripts to perform transformations on your data frames. This flexibility allows you to implement custom requirements, making Rivery more versatile than relying solely on in-built functions. Regarding features such as the interface, scheduling, or connectors, I found that as of 2022 when I last used it, the monitoring was good, although the debugging process for custom scripts was somewhat challenging. If we encountered issues with custom-built scripts, debugging was difficult since it used to send standard errors rather than specific ones. From what I recall, monitoring worked well, and we could connect to multiple relational and other sources, which was advantageous. A few of my colleagues and I were able to earn certifications on Rivery, which motivated us, even though we could not pursue or implement Rivery project for clients. The learning experience was very valuable as we had around seven or eight resources participating in those trainings, and they were all excited to learn about this new tool for us at the time.

Real-time replication has transformed data loads but needs clearer logs and better documentation
Striim offers strong capabilities for real-time database replication. Its core strength is low latency, log-based change data capture, which continuously moves the data without putting heavy load on the source systems. It works especially well in Oracle environments and supports more than 150 sources and targets, including Snowflake, Databricks, and Microsoft Fabric, which is hot in the market right now. It handles the initial load and the ongoing CDC in one platform so we do not have to stitch together Kafka or similar processes ourselves. It offers high availability clustering with failovers and can run self-hosted or fully managed on cloud services. The user interface is pretty good and self-explanatory, so there is no issue if a user lands in the application; they do not have to think more. It is self-explanatory, with all the navigation panes clear. However, the only thing is the searchability; if a user has to search which table belongs to which CDC application connection set up on Striim, it is quite extensive and not fruitful from a user interface point of view. Performance-wise, it is quite good; the queues are long, but as I mentioned earlier, the logs are not that self-explanatory that one can understand what exactly is going on behind the scenes.
