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.

Offers reliable data management and simple to use but requires more intuitive configuration
I am not very happy with Oracle Support. Over the past four to five years, I have experienced many problems when opening support requests. A lot of the time, the support asks the same questions repeatedly, which takes time. Usually, I solve my issue myself before they give me solutions. It seems like they do not really understand my problem, even if I translate what I want to say from Italian with tools like Google Translate. Sometimes it is very difficult to communicate with them. We have some Oracle support staff in Italy whom I can reach directly, which helps, but there seems to be a problem with the support requests. It is also an issue when different Oracle representatives handle my request at different times and ask me to explain the problem again despite it being written in the support request. This makes it very frustrating. Additionally, issues arise with product understanding. For example, in dedicated infrastructure, the Oracle staff handling the support request may not be familiar with the product or suggest solutions suitable for other infrastructures but not mine. Oracle Support should know the solutions that fit my infrastructure since they manage it, not me.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Ease of installation, maintenance and powerful outputs and supporting Big Data and Cloud environment as well as OGGCS (Oracle Golden Gate Cloud Service)."
"They've recently improved the ease of implementation."
"This solution has a well-known procedure for troubleshooting and tuning the performance, providing for smooth operation."
"The solution's existing SaaS platform for data integration gives us an edge."
"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 platform's most helpful features are its speed and its guarantee of data replication from one database to another."
"It is quite scalable."
"The product's microservice architecture is scalable."
"Oracle Database generally guarantees a good response for customer use cases."
"GoldenGate can aggregate various data types from different sources."
"It provides a good response for external microservices applications."
"GoldenGate's best features are the desktop security features."
"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."
"We are heavily involved with GitHub for managing repositories, automatic deployments, and inner source projects."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
 

Cons

"Troubleshooting issues is not always the easiest. It should be easier to troubleshoot. Their support can also be improved. They don't read your problem statement and waste a lot of time. GoldenGate for big data is actually a separate license. It is sort of a separate product, but it might fall underneath your GoldenGate category. If we're talking about big data, its interaction with big data sources is poorly documented."
"Additional performance metrics should be added and visible in a dashboard, displayed in a detailed manner."
"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."
"The tool's connections are disconnected at times. The tool needs to integrate other databases."
"The problem with GoldenGate is it is very complex to use. You need heavyweight skills to use it."
"The solution needs to improve its latency, monitoring and support."
"In some cases, expectations were not met, especially when specific tables were expected to be disabled, and changes were anticipated in the target environment. We had to take backups from the source and refresh the address to address this."
"There is room for improvement in Oracle GoldenGate's pricing, which is a bit high."
"The initial setup was a little complex, and we required support from Oracle to complete it."
"Over the past four to five years, I have experienced many problems when opening support requests."
"I am not very happy with Oracle Support. Over the past four to five years, I have experienced many problems when opening support requests."
"Oracle GoldenGate Cloud Service lacks AI. If AI gets introduced in Oracle GoldenGate Cloud Service, it would be much easier to do analysis."
"Support could be improved. They lack knowledge."
"Oracle is always adding new features. I can't think of anything that's urgent currently."
"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

"We have purchased corporate licensing to use Oracle GoldenGate."
"Its price can be better. It is a bit crazy, and its licensing is very difficult to understand. I would rate it one out of five in terms of pricing. There don't seem to be any additional costs."
"The solution would be costly for a small organization."
"Oracle GoldenGate's license can be expensive compared to other solutions like Qlik Replicate or SAP Replicate."
"The solution is highly-priced."
"Oracle GoldenGate's cost is high."
"The licensing model should be improved to be more cost-effective for the end users."
"The product is expensive."
"I rate the product price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
