Performs real-time replication without data loss, but we cannot do much automation
The setup with the classic GoldenGate architecture was easy. Oracle has now moved to Microservices Architecture. It is a real pain. There are a lot of new things we have to learn. I rate the ease of setup of the classic architecture a seven out of ten. For Microservices, I rate the ease of setup a three out of ten. The deployment takes a couple of hours. We need one system administrator to deploy the tool. We need to maintain the tool. We are a team of four people. We need at least three people for maintenance. The time taken for maintenance depends on how big the environment is. We spend a lot of time on maintenance because our environment is big.

Built for everything and packed with features but there are some monitoring limitations
Our company uses the solution to provide data integration services for customers. Most of our implementations are on-premises for large or enterprise-level customers.  We have six users with experience in both the local studio and the enterprise versions.  The solution can run on any machine and…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Oracle GoldenGate features work fine, which is what I like about it. I also like that it's scalable, easy to set up, and has good technical support."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle GoldenGate is its cost-effectiveness compared to other solutions like Oracle Data Guard, especially for Oracle-to-non-Oracle replication scenarios."
"The solution's existing SaaS platform for data integration gives us an edge."
"GoldenGate can connect and collect data from multiple sources, such as SQL Server."
"It is quite scalable."
"With Oracle GoldenGate, you can easily sync the tables and put them into the ODS database."
"We use the tool to pull on-prem data."
"The initial setup is straightforward. It doesn't take too much time or effort to implement the solution."
"The availability of connectors is great."
"The solution is very user-friendly and easy to understand."
"The most valuable feature is the data loading and scripting language"
"The solution is connected to various phones. It retrieves the configuration from the system."
"They're very competitive in terms of performance, which is a good selling point. It has very rich features. It provides a very rich feature set in the application."
"I like everything about this product, but the biggest thing is the ease of use."
"The solution can run on any machine and that is a big advantage."
"The tool was mainly used for ETL processes to apply governance rules on data."
 

Cons

"Oracle GoldenGate could improve the price."
"Oracle GoldenGate can enhance its functionality by enabling the merging of multiple migrations into one."
"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."
"The solution's licensing price is very expensive and could be made more competitive."
"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."
"The process of transforming the data between two different databases is inefficient and needs to be improved."
"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 front-end management isn't very good."
"The solution's memory sometimes bottlenecks and that can be challenging."
"I'd be interested in seeing the running of Python programs and transformations from within the studio itself."
"I think they should drive toward AI and machine learning. They could include a machine-learning algorithm for the deduplication."
"The documentation from version to version could be more accurate."
"I've had some issues with bugs causing crashes, especially when making changes to the system or with the monthly upgrades to Studio they've introduced."
"The product must enhance the data quality."
"They lack in memory capacity."
"The sales and market department could improve the Talend Data Management Platform."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution would be costly for a small organization."
"The price of Oracle GoldenGate should be lowered. It is expensive compared to other solutions."
"The licensing model should be improved to be more cost-effective for the end users."
"The tool is a bit expensive."
"It is an expensive product."
"We do like the price of this solution."
"The return on investment would make it a worthwhile deal."
"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 licensing cost is about 40,000 Euros a year."
"The price of the Talend Data Management Platform is reasonable. The other competing solutions are priced high. Gartner Magic Quadrant identified other solutions, such as Informatica, that are far more expensive."
"The price is on a per-user basis. It's a little more expensive than other tools. There aren't any additional costs beyond the standard licensing fee."
"The pricing is a little higher than what I had expected, but it's comparable with I-PASS competitors."
"The tool is cheap."
"The solution's pricing is very reasonable and half the cost of Informatica."
"License renewal is on a yearly basis."
