Straightforward to set up with easy of capturing database changes and secure storage
We are setting up CDT jobs to get database changes from AWS RDS. We are not really migrating anything, but we get the changes from our source RDS instance and save it as a file in an S3 bucket For our continuity planning, we need all the history happening in the source database because AWS source…

A cost-effective and easy-to-use tool that needs to introduce AI features
Oracle GoldenGate Cloud Service is easy to use, and currently, it has become more easy to understand compared to its previous version. Opting for an on-premises tool is something for which we have to spend money, but Oracle GoldenGate Cloud Service offers services in a very cost-effective manner. Features like getting the backup of a system or making any updates are areas that are much easier to handle. It is a tool that you can directly move from production to UAT, after which you can make your changes and move it back to production if everything is fine, and that too without any downtime.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's scalable."
"It's pretty useful when we need to migrate something big from a different type of database that AWS Data Migration Services supports."
"The most valuable feature is its ability to get all the changes in our data and store that in an S3 bucket."
"The product's initial setup phase was very easy."
"The installation is easy."
"For our simple requirement of migration, DMS is just a typical AWS RDS with an IPSec tunnel to Oracle. The most valuable features for us are the networking capabilities like VPCs and VPNs."
"AWS Database Migration Service is good for smaller workloads and provides compatibility."
"As the solution is on the cloud, we don't have to worry about the maintenance of software."
"GoldenGate can aggregate various data types from different sources."
"This has significantly eased the process of migration from on-premise to cloud. Instead of configuring everything from the ground up, the Oracle GoldenGate Cloud Service has made it seamless to build and render databases in cloud."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"GoldenGate's best features are the desktop security features."
"We are heavily involved with GitHub for managing repositories, automatic deployments, and inner source projects."
 

Cons

"This solution can offer more tweaks where the latency can be brought down to fifteen seconds."
"Sometimes we encounter errors, and the error messages from DMS are very ambiguous and sometimes misleading."
"The initial setup can be difficult for beginners in AWS Database Migration Service. You will need the training to complete it."
"As a solution, the better thing is if more platforms come with direct compatibility, like connecting to different data sources. The basic problem I faced the most was while transferring and reading data from Excel. So, one time, I found that all the components I had declared in my scripts were able to take it. And after some patching happens, it is not able to support that. Again, we need to update the version of Excel. So, it's not like a plug-in type place where you have done the solution and are confident that it will work. So, this is an area of improvement."
"The solution’s scalability and performance could be improved."
"It would be helpful if the bandwidth could be independent of the network or if we could have a dedicated bandwidth for this product."
"This solution is compatible with only AWS."
"Support could be more expedient. Right now I am waiting on support for an extension."
"The initial setup was a little complex, and we required support from Oracle to complete it."
"Support could be improved. They lack knowledge."
"Oracle is always adding new features. I can't think of anything that's urgent currently."
"Oracle GoldenGate Cloud Service lacks AI. If AI gets introduced in Oracle GoldenGate Cloud Service, it would be much easier to do analysis."
"More technical documentation is needed, especially in terms of mapping and conversion of data, while integration would also be very helpful."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"AWS Database Migration Service is very inexpensive."
"Pricing can be improved."
"Pricing for the solution is reasonable, but could still be reduced."
"I rate the product price a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is a high price, and ten is a low price."
"Cost is the only factor that is challenging."
"The solution’s pricing is reasonable."
"For Egypt, the product's prices are high, making it a specific problem in one region and not globally."
"The pricing can be better and it should be more competitive."
"I rate the product price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
