Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.

Pros
"Co>Operating System's most valuable feature is its ability to process bulk data effectively.""Ab Initio reaches the highest performance and is very flexible in processing huge amounts of data."

More Ab Initio Co>Operating System Pros →

"I like that the product transforms data and provides real-time applications.""The replication of the data table is one of the best features.""The CDC feature is interesting.""The product is reliable for data integrity.""The live application feature is most valuable. The solution is stable. I rate it a seven out of ten.""It works best with Oracle.""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.""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."

More Oracle GoldenGate Pros →

Cons
"An awesome improvement would be big data solutions, for example, implementing some kind of business intelligence or neural networks for artificial intelligence.""Co>Operating System would be improved with more integrations for less well-known technologies."

More Ab Initio Co>Operating System Cons →

"Some issues regarding stability need to be resolved.""The solution, in general, should be easier to use, with less need to perform workarounds within the system.""The process of transforming the data between two different databases is inefficient and needs to be improved.""The problem with GoldenGate is it is very complex to use. You need heavyweight skills to use it.""The main problem of Oracle GoldenGate is that sometimes, the processes get abended. Data consistency is also challenging.""It would be better for Oracle Golden Gate Studio GUI to include other licensed products (i.e. Veridata or others).""Regarding improvements, the focus should be on addressing data quality issues and minimizing delays, particularly in Oracle databases. The technical support should be improved as well. Additionally, in terms of features, it would be great if the solution could support APIs. The support is not friendly. They don’t respond on time.""I would like to see the interface more graphical and easier to use."

More Oracle GoldenGate Cons →

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Co>Operating System's pricing is on the expensive end since it tends to be used by big enterprises."

    • More Ab Initio Co>Operating System Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "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."
  • "We do like the price of this solution."
  • "Pricing is based on anual licensing with additional costs for support packages."
  • "The price of this solution is good."
  • "We have an enterprise license for it. It might be for three years or so. I'm not aware of any additional costs to the standard licensing fee."
  • "Its price can be better. It is a bit crazy, and its licensing is very difficult to understand. I would rate it one out of five in terms of pricing. There don't seem to be any additional costs."
  • "We have purchased corporate licensing to use Oracle GoldenGate."

    Oracle GoldenGate vs. Oracle Active Dataguard
    As an Oracle DBA, while working upon high availability of your database you may stumble upon various Oracle strategic capabilities that fall into categories of Oracle Replication. Oracle provides various technologies for replication like GoldenGate, streams, and Active Dataguard. Replication being the primary purpose of all the mentioned technologies, each have different internal operational behavior. The purpose is to achieve maximum database availability, these mentioned technologies fully accommodate the requirement but internally there are differences at internal operational level. DBA's must learn and understand the functionality of both and know which technique can be used and in what scenario. Let's discuss the differences between Oracle Active Dataguard and Oracle GoldenGate. Oracle Active Dataguard is simple and the most economical solution for replication. The concept of active dataguard is a super set of traditional dataguard. It offers real time data protection and availability. Here in active replication you can place your secondary database in read-only mode, where the secondary database is available to users for limited usage like reporting and query offloading. Active Dataguard promises zero data loss across large distances without hampering performance. Other benefits to count on you can consider the capability of Active Dataguard to automatically repair the physical corruption without incurring any performance impact and availability of… Read more →

    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."
