Syncs data in real-time while managing transaction volumes
The most valuable feature of Oracle GoldenGate is its ability to sync data in real-time, which is crucial for me. I set it to a master-master pluggable database that serves as a container used from clones to provide test environments for various teams. This makes it very effective in managing high-volume transactions. The ability to sync data in real time is a key feature I rely on.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Server features for scheduler: It is very easy to schedule jobs and monitor them. The interface is easy to use."
"Key features include wealth of pre-defined components; all components are customizable; descriptive logging, especially for error messages."
"No dependence on native language and ease of use.​​"
"Connectivity to various data sources: The ability to extract data from different data sources gives greater flexibility."
"The product's initial setup phase was very simple."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle GoldenGate is its ability to sync data in real-time, which is crucial for me."
"They've recently improved the ease of implementation."
"The most valuable features of Oracle GoldenGate are the schema application and performance."
"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."
"One feature that stands out for me is the data center capability."
"The real-time replication feature of the product is particularly beneficial."
"Many of the features of Oracle GoldenGate are valuable. We use Oracle databases and this tool is from Oracle, making it have superior compatibility."
 

Cons

"​Resource management: We typically run out of heap space, and even the allocation of high heap space does not seem to be enough.​"
"Needs: easier automated failure recovery; more, and more intuitive auto-generated/filled-in code for components; easier/more automated sync between CloverETL Designer and CloverETL Server."
"Its documentation could be improved.​"
"The problem with GoldenGate is it is very complex to use. You need heavyweight skills to use it."
"I find the user interface to be difficult for non-technical people."
"It would be great if Oracle added some enhanced features or more functionalities to Oracle GoldenGate."
"Technical support for Oracle products needs to be more efficient (at least locally in Egypt)."
"Microservices Architecture is not user-friendly."
"The product lacks some features and it's expensive."
"The solution's licensing price is very expensive and could be made more competitive."
"The solution sometimes has issues with long transactions and replication delays. Its pricing needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Licensing for Oracle GoldenGate is paid yearly."
"We have purchased corporate licensing to use Oracle GoldenGate."
"Oracle GoldenGate's cost is high."
"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 return on investment would make it a worthwhile deal."
"The solution is highly-priced."
"The price is high. Consequently, when clients or customers acquire the solution, they tend to utilize it to its maximum extent due to this factor."
"The tool needs to improve its pricing."
