Aditi Bhardwaj - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides an ease of access and an automated mapping feature
We need help with large data migrations. It only works well for a few thousand records or less than a million records. Above that, we need to look for alternative solutions. They could provide automated transformation or mapping features around 10 to 15 independent data objects. We could have a default mark or limit of free usage for standard objects. It will be helpful. Additionally, we can have more integrations with large data volumes as we need a lot of exercises to handle the files in case of complex sites.
ShahidNadeem - PeerSpot reviewer
Handles migrations well and has reduced our downtime
For small databases that are less than a terabyte, GoldenGate handles the migration well. You don't need much input so long as the processes don't upend. As soon as there's a problem, then, obviously, you need to diagnose it. It all depends on the scenario, on the size of the databases, whether you're doing schema replication, or table replication. We normally do the whole database, taking everything across. Finally, because this is an Oracle product, there is support available 24/7.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"he product’s most valuable feature is ease of access."
"DataLoader is cost-effective since it is free."
"I find DataLoader's ability to easily integrate with external keys valuable, which is a bit more challenging with DBM."
"They've recently improved the ease of implementation."
"The solution's existing SaaS platform for data integration gives us an edge."
"It is quite scalable."
"It works best with Oracle."
"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."
"I am impressed with the tool's possibility of integrating different systems in a unified place."
"We use the tool to pull on-prem data."
"This is a powerful solution provided by one of the most respected companies in the computer industry."
 

Cons

"DataLoader has limitations, including constraints with file sizes and transactions."
"We need help with large data migrations. It only works well for a few thousand records or less than a million records."
"Dataloader has limitations, including constraints with file sizes and transactions. Additionally, at times it can be slow, and when integrating DBM, we find it more complex than Dataloader."
"There is room for improvement in Oracle GoldenGate's pricing, which is a bit high."
"The solution, in general, should be easier to use, with less need to perform workarounds within the system."
"There are a lot of bugs in the solution."
"Microservices Architecture is not user-friendly."
"It's stable but you have to know how to maintain it. That's why it's not 10 out of 10 for me. There are some bugs, there are some issues here and there. All of a sudden your process is not working and you have to figure out why, and sometimes it's not so clear."
"The tool's connections are disconnected at times. The tool needs to integrate other databases."
"It is not a very stable tool, and you need to monitor it perfectly."
"Additional performance metrics should be added and visible in a dashboard, displayed in a detailed manner."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is inexpensive and economical."
"The product is expensive."
"Oracle GoldenGate's license can be expensive compared to other solutions like Qlik Replicate or SAP Replicate."
"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 tool needs to improve its pricing."
"Oracle GoldenGate's cost is high."
"The return on investment would make it a worthwhile deal."
"We do like the price of this solution."
"We have purchased corporate licensing to use Oracle GoldenGate."
