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

"It scales well. You can either have it working in with the databases, or you can move it outside. It's got the ability to parallelize up, so you can certainly extract and replay the data from your databases in parallel. So it does have horizontal scalability. That is probably one of its stronger features, the ability just to automatically parallelize the replay and playing of data to allow to scale to large volumes."
"The most valuable feature is data replication capability."
"The replication of the data table is one of the best features."
"This solution provides us with real-time replication and it does not affect the performance of other operations, which is very important to us."
"The solution is useful for data transformation."
"Since the world is going towards open source, the solution's heterogeneous data migration feature is very useful."
"The live application feature is most valuable. The solution is stable. I rate it a seven out of ten."
"You can use Oracle GoldenGate as a DR for your system."
"It provides the ability to roll back to a point in time or roll forward without the assistance of a DBA."
"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."
"The performance offered by the product, its price, and its ability to handle structured and unstructured data were good when compared to the other products in the market."
"The most valuable aspect is the product is easy to manage, with a good dashboard. We can easily configure it on the front end and back end."
"The most valuable feature is VDB provisioning."
"Data being available anytime is a life changer."
"Delphix can do data masking in any format. Not many solutions can do that."
"The most valuable feature is creating virtual databases."
 

Cons

"Oracle GoldenGate's installation is not user-friendly, we had to read a lot of documentation for the setup and configuration."
"It should be easier to integrate this solution with non-Oracle databases, including cloud-based solutions hosted on Azure."
"The product is not easy to use."
"The tool's connections are disconnected at times. The tool needs to integrate other databases."
"In the future, I would appreciate a more user-friendly monitoring interface for easier management and troubleshooting."
"The problem with GoldenGate is it is very complex to use. You need heavyweight skills to use it."
"Additional performance metrics should be added and visible in a dashboard, displayed in a detailed manner."
"You cannot put everything in Golden Gate for the license and large models."
"Delphix needs better partnerships from a customer perspective. It's how they sell it, not what they're selling."
"One thing I would like to see improved is the unusual error messages we receive and some slowness we have while we are updating."
"Delphix could be improved with better usability and an agentless option."
"The solution’s self-service portal must be more interactive and user-friendly."
"Delphix is quite expensive."
"As a commercial model, it's very good. However, maybe it would be nice for Delphix to integrate with some other platforms."
"The solution's price needs improvement."
"When it comes to unstructured and structured data, if Delphix can comply with the requirements for most of the structured data, it would be good, especially if it can include the data scanning part."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We pay a yearly licensing fee for Oracle GoldenGate, which is very expensive."
"We do like the price of this solution."
"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 return on investment would make it a worthwhile deal."
"The tool is a bit expensive."
"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 licensing model should be improved to be more cost-effective for the end users."
"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."
"The product is a little bit expensive."
"It is an expensive solution."
"The solution's pricing was reasonable and lower than one million."
"Delphix's pricing is affordable."
"The cost is $370K annually for the Delphix Masking Engine and Delphix Virtualization Engine."
"I would say the price is a little high but affordable for our needs."
