Sr. Oracle DBA at a comms service provider with 10,001+ employees
Real-time replication means our data is available almost instantaneously if an issue occurs in one of our data centers
I would like the solution to have some kind of machine learning and AI capabilities. Often, if we want to improve the performance of posting, we have to bump up a parameter. That means we need to stop the process, come up with a figure that we want to bump the parameter up to, and then start SharePlex. Machine learning and AI capabilities for these kinds of improvement would tremendously help boost productivity for us. We have discussed this and they have said it is in their future pipeline, but not with a definite date at which we will see this type of feature.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Try it out in your production and you won't be disappointed."
"The core features of the solution we like are the reliability of the data transfer and the accuracy of data read and write. The stability of the solution is also excellent."
"SharePlex has been a good fit for us because it was not as expensive compared to GoldenGate, it was stable compared to AWS DMS, and it was a good product for what we were looking for and within our budget too."
"There are some capabilities within SharePlex where you can see how the data is migrating and if it still maintains good data integrity. For example, if there are some tables that get out of sync, there are ways to find them and fix the problem on the spot. Since these are very common issues, we can easily fix these types of problems using utilities, like compare and repair. So, if you find something is out of sync, then you can just repair that table. It basically syncs that table from source to target to see if there are any differences. It will then replicate those differences to the target."
"The core replication and its performance. Performance is crucial, and SharePlex is by far the fastest. The way it handles replication to multiple targets along with basic filtering, as well as from multiple sources to a single target, is very efficient."
"I like SharePlex's Compare and Repair tool."
"It works 100 percent of the time, with little downtime or problems."
"Because of the volume of the transactions, we heavily use a feature that allows SharePlex to replicate thousands of transactions. It's called PEP, Post Enhancement Performance, and that has helped us scale tremendously."
"Striim is definitely my data migration tool and data reflection syncing tool. It reduces manual intervention because it automatically syncs the data from the warehouse."
"Striim's intuitive UI for monitoring, the flow designer, and the real-time console are straightforward and helpful."
"Striim offers strong capabilities for real-time database replication with low latency, log-based change data capture, which continuously moves the data without putting heavy load on the source systems."
"The CDC works nicely by replicating data as changes happen to the source database, running syncs to the target, and applying changes in near-real time."
"Striim's technical support is the best and at par with competitors."
"We were confidently in a situation to call Snowflake as a single source of truth, and I believe with Striim, we were able to do that because without Striim, the SLA would be much higher, and there would not have been much confidence in Snowflake."
"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 and highlights the variety of sources and targets I have used."
 

Cons

"For its function in relation to replication (i.e. filtering), I'd give it a six or seven out of 10. GoldenGate has much more functionality by comparison."
"I would like the solution to have some kind of machine learning and AI capabilities."
"I would like the solution to have some kind of machine learning and AI capabilities. Often, if we want to improve the performance of posting, we have to bump up a parameter. That means we need to stop the process, come up with a figure that we want to bump the parameter up to, and then start SharePlex. Machine learning and AI capabilities for these kinds of improvement would tremendously help boost productivity for us."
"I would like more ability to automate installation and configuration in line with some of the DevOps processes that are more mature in the market. That would be a considerable improvement."
"I don't know how easy it would be to change the architecture in an already implemented replication. For example, if we have a certain way of architecting for a particular database migration and want to change that during a period of time, is that an easy or difficult change? There was a need for us to change the architecture in-between the migration, but we didn't do it. We thought, "This is possibly complicated. Let's not change it in the middle because we were approaching our cutover date." That was one thing that we should have checked with support about for training."
"I don't know how easy it would be to change the architecture in an already implemented replication."
"The reporting features need improvement. It would be very good for users to have a clear understanding of the status of replication."
"The reporting features need improvement."
"I would say Striim performance needs improvement because we use more GoldenGate, so I tend to compare GoldenGate with Striim."
"I think Striim could be improved with better pricing and enhanced documentation."
"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."
"Customer support was non-existent, with some documentation shared by Google personnel but no access to a customer portal for support tickets."
"The pricing is a bit on the higher end for Striim."
"Pricing is too high compared to other replication tools currently available in the market, especially Fivetran."
"The user experience of triggering alerts if there's any lag which Striim identified, which is not normal, could intrinsically be done by Striim."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is not as expensive as Oracle GoldenGate and has worked really well within our budgets."
"It's really good value for the money. There are some things they could improve on, but in terms of the pricing, features, and support, as a holistic package, we are not thinking of anything else at this point in time."
