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.

Provides users with an initial setup phase, which is fairly simple to manage
I don't know what could be improved in terms of what my company was used to previously or after moving over to Rivery. I have not had much experience with platforms other than Rivery. For me, Rivalry was a way to step up from what we used. To be honest, I am not really sure what improvements could be made in Rivery. Pricing is a little steep for smaller organizations, I would say. The product's pricing model could be a little bit better. I am not aware if there are additional packages for smaller organizations, but if there are no packages available, then maybe that would be a good way to introduce something new in the tool.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product is reliable for data integrity."
"The product's initial setup phase was very simple."
"This is a powerful solution provided by one of the most respected companies in the computer industry."
"The initial setup is straightforward. It doesn't take too much time or effort to implement the solution."
"When we are replicating data between similar databases then it is straightforward."
"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."
"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."
"Connects to many APIs in the market and new ones are being added all the time."
"The solution's most valuable features are that it is quick to connect and simple to use."
 

Cons

"The solution needs to improve its latency, monitoring and support."
"It should be easier to integrate this solution with non-Oracle databases, including cloud-based solutions hosted on Azure."
"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."
"IBM CDC has one central control while Oracle GoldenGate has two controls. In IBM CDC we can do all things in frontend. The solution needs to incorporate a feature where we can connect it to a standby database."
"The product lacks some features and it's expensive."
"There is room for improvement in Oracle GoldenGate's pricing, which is a bit high."
"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."
"We struggle with memory. It's limited. However, it may be because of our unique business case and how we use it that it's limiting for us."
"Lineage and an impact analysis or logic dependency are lacking."
"Pricing is a little steep for smaller organizations, I would say. The product's pricing model could be a little bit better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution would be costly for a small organization."
"We have purchased corporate licensing to use Oracle GoldenGate."
"Pricing is based on anual licensing with additional costs for support packages."
"The tool needs to improve its pricing."
"The tool is a bit expensive."
"The price of Oracle GoldenGate should be lowered. It is expensive compared to other solutions."
"Licensing for Oracle GoldenGate is paid yearly."
"We do like the price of this solution."
"I rate the tool's price as six out of ten if I consider the lowest price to be one and the highest price to be ten."
