We performed a comparison between IBM InfoSphere Information Server and Oracle GoldenGate based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Data Integration solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."This solution is extremely flexible and scalable."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The integration with different technologies is the most valuable feature."
"IBM InfoSphere Information Server is stable."
"The CDC feature is interesting."
"GoldenGate can connect and collect data from multiple sources, such as SQL Server."
"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."
"It is quite scalable."
"The solution is useful for data transformation."
"This solution provides us with real-time replication and it does not affect the performance of other operations, which is very important to us."
"Ease of installation, maintenance and powerful outputs and supporting Big Data and Cloud environment as well as OGGCS (Oracle Golden Gate Cloud Service)."
"Oracle GoldenGate features work fine, which is what I like about it. I also like that it's scalable, easy to set up, and has good technical support."
"There are certain shortcomings in the cloud side of the solution, where improvements are required."
"IBM InfoSphere Information Server should be more scalable. It should have the option to change the configuration to run on a single, non-multiple node, or multi-threading processing."
"This solution would benefit from the engine being made more lightweight."
"Their technical support needs improvement."
"I would like to see the interface more graphical and easier to use."
"In the future, I would appreciate a more user-friendly monitoring interface for easier management and troubleshooting."
"The solution needs to improve its latency, monitoring and support."
"Additional performance metrics should be added and visible in a dashboard, displayed in a detailed manner."
"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."
"The problem with GoldenGate is it is very complex to use. You need heavyweight skills to use it."
"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."
"The main problem of Oracle GoldenGate is that sometimes, the processes get abended. Data consistency is also challenging."
