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

"It is quite scalable."
"What I like most about Oracle GoldenGate is that it supports cross-platform migrations. For example, Oracle GoldenGate could pump data from one type of system to another such as the data from Oracle DB to SQL Db2."
"It allows us to migrate from one system to another, from one server to another, with no downtime, no outage. We can get the data synchronized with multiple databases and then switch the connectivity across to the new servers."
"The platform's most helpful features are its speed and its guarantee of data replication from one database to another."
"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 most valuable features of Oracle GoldenGate are the schema application and performance."
"GoldenGate can connect and collect data from multiple sources, such as SQL Server."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle GoldenGate is its ability to sync data in real-time, which is crucial for me."
"Using Precisely improves data quality, which can lead to a 30% increase in revenue and boost net income by 20% to 25% if implemented correctly."
"Precisely has the AI Act already implemented into the data catalog, which allows the integration of the European Artificial Intelligence Act into our processes."
 

Cons

"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 problem with GoldenGate is it is very complex to use. You need heavyweight skills to use it."
"Technical support for Oracle products needs to be more efficient (at least locally in Egypt)."
"The solution's licensing price is very expensive and could be made more competitive."
"I find the user interface to be difficult for non-technical people."
"A clean and user-friendly graphical interface based on common design principles would be beneficial."
"Some issues regarding stability need to be resolved."
"The product lacks some features and it's expensive."
"Precisely works with a tool called Analyze, which has a steep learning curve due to its use of Jython, a combination of Java and Python. This could be improved to make the tool more user-friendly."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"We do like the price of this solution."
"Oracle GoldenGate is a high-priced solution because it follows the core-based pricing model versus the software-based pricing model of other solutions."
"It is an expensive product."
"The tool needs to improve its pricing."
"Oracle GoldenGate's license can be expensive compared to other solutions like Qlik Replicate or SAP Replicate."
"Oracle GoldenGate's cost is high."
"The product is expensive."
