Vijay Subramanyam - PeerSpot reviewer
Robust, reliable, and stable, ensuring high availability for critical integrations
I would rate the scalability an eight out of ten; it is a highly scalable solution. We have around 200 end users using this solution in our company. We use it to its maximum capacity. However, it's not for P1 applications, but definitely for severity two cases (P2 level). It integrates critical applications, but it's not a platform that, if it stops, the entire system would come down. So, it's more like a severity two level. However, it has the potential to eventually become a P1 platform. Not exactly P1 applications, but a P1 platform. Because now we are still in the transition to migrate everything, all the integrations to Mule Anypoint Platform. But once it's done, then this platform becomes critical. Because even now, we have point-to-point connections.

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.
