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.

Handles large volumes of data with ease, but the self-service portal must be more user-friendly
My advice depends on an organization’s needs. If an organization has a large volume of data, Delphix is a good choice. It is robust and very efficient with large volumes of data and different kinds of databases. If someone is looking for a one-stop solution with all features and capabilities, they must consider a different tool. Overall, I rate the product a six or seven out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"This solution provides us with real-time replication and it does not affect the performance of other operations, which is very important to us."
"It is a scalable solution."
"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."
"We use the tool to pull on-prem data."
"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."
"We can replicate data across different data centers and different technologies."
"The platform's most helpful features are its speed and its guarantee of data replication from one database to another."
"The most valuable feature is creating virtual databases."
"The solution's most valuable feature is data cloning."
"The most valuable feature is VDB provisioning."
"Delphix's technical support is fairly knowledgeable."
"Delphix's data distribution is powerful. It's easy to distribute data with this solution. The main advantage of Delphix is that it generates copies of data."
"It provides the ability to roll back to a point in time or roll forward without the assistance of a DBA."
"It is a stable solution."
"Data being available anytime is a life changer."
 

Cons

"Additional performance metrics should be added and visible in a dashboard, displayed in a detailed manner."
"The product is not easy to use."
"Some issues regarding stability need to be resolved."
"A clean and user-friendly graphical interface based on common design principles would be beneficial."
"The solution needs to improve its latency, monitoring and support."
"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."
"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."
"Technical support for Oracle products needs to be more efficient (at least locally in Egypt)."
"My only complaint about this solution is the price."
"Delphix needs better partnerships from a customer perspective. It's how they sell it, not what they're selling."
"The solution’s self-service portal must be more interactive and user-friendly."
"Delphix could be improved with better usability and an agentless option."
"Could be improved with richer reporting capabilities."
"Delphix is quite expensive."
"The solution's price needs improvement."
"GUI could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The return on investment would make it a worthwhile deal."

"The tool needs to improve its pricing."
"We have an enterprise license for it. It might be for three years or so. I'm not aware of any additional costs to the standard licensing fee."
"We pay a yearly licensing fee for Oracle GoldenGate, which is very expensive."
"We do like the price of this solution."
"We have purchased corporate licensing to use Oracle GoldenGate."
"The product is expensive."
"I rate the product price seven to eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is the low price, and ten is the high price."
"I would say the price is a little high but affordable for our needs."
"The solution's pricing was reasonable and lower than one million."
"The product is a little bit expensive."
"It is an expensive solution."
