We performed a comparison between Azure Data Factory 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."One of the most valuable features of Azure Data Factory is the drag-and-drop interface. This helps with workflow management because we can just drag any tables or data sources we need. Because of how easy it is to drag and drop, we can deliver things very quickly. It's more customizable through visual effect."
"I am one hundred percent happy with the stability."
"The most valuable features of the solution are its ease of use and the readily available adapters for connecting with various sources."
"Data Factory's best features are simplicity and flexibility."
"Data Factory itself is great. It's pretty straightforward. You can easily add sources, join and lookup information, etc. The ease of use is pretty good."
"The two most valuable features of Azure Data Factory are that it's very scalable and that it's also highly reliable."
"For me, it was that there are dedicated connectors for different targets or sources, different data sources. For example, there is direct connector to Salesforce, Oracle Service Cloud, etcetera, and that was really helpful."
"The trigger scheduling options are decently robust."
"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."
"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."
"It works best with Oracle."
"Oracle GoldenGate helps to select and target specific tables for replication. Any changes or operations on those tables are immediately reflected in the source and target environments."
"You can put data together from a few databases into one database or the other way, from one database into several. It transforms data in real-time."
"The product's initial setup phase was very simple."
"The most valuable features of Oracle GoldenGate are the schema application and performance."
"Many of the features of Oracle GoldenGate are valuable. We use Oracle databases and this tool is from Oracle, making it have superior compatibility."
"The deployment should be easier."
"There is room for improvement primarily in its streaming capabilities. For structured streaming and machine learning model implementation within an ETL process, it lags behind tools like Informatica."
"The support and the documentation can be improved."
"In the next release, it's important that some sort of scheduler for running tasks is added."
"I would like to see this time travel feature in Snowflake added to Azure Data Factory."
"I have not found any real shortcomings within the product."
"Azure Data Factory uses many resources and has issues with parallel workflows."
"It's a good idea to take a Microsoft course. Because they are really helpful when you start from your journey with Data Factory."
"GoldenGate is expensive. It's costly because this solution is unique in our market. The GoldenGate Cloud Service is cheaper than the on-premise solution."
"The solution is quite costly, and if they could reduce their pricing, it would be more economical to implement."
"I find the user interface to be difficult for non-technical people."
"Monitoring must be a bit more enhanced."
"The process of transforming the data between two different databases is inefficient and needs to be improved."
"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."
"Oracle GoldenGate can enhance its functionality by enabling the merging of multiple migrations into one."
"Additional performance metrics should be added and visible in a dashboard, displayed in a detailed manner."
