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.

Intuitive interface and documentation make it simple to build jobs and APIs and logging helps pinpoint and resolve issues quickly
Talend is doing a lot of work at the moment, and it's not there yet, but the whole platform could be managed in a SaaS-type environment. You still need to have the Studio running on a virtual desktop or a PC. They will get to be able to do the whole thing inside your browser, so you don't need to install anything locally. It's down the track, and it's the nirvana that we were looking for in Boomi. But the biggest challenge they have is that the platform is so focused on the Studio for all of its development. They'll probably get there, but they have such a mature Studio client that it's a huge amount of work to get all of that functionality into a browser or SaaS platform. That's pretty much the biggest flaw with the Talend environment—being reliant on the Studio, which needed to be on a local machine. The only other thing is that you have to integrate into an API gateway. We're in Azure, so we use Microsoft Azure Gateway. It doesn't come with its own gateway, which is another sort of big plus side that we saw in Boomi. Talend isn't quite there yet with the API gateway. Other than that, it's bloody hard to find something because it just seems to be all good.

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."
"The solution's existing SaaS platform for data integration gives us an edge."
"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."
"The replication of the data table is one of the best features."
"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."
"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 product is reliable for data integrity."
"It is user-friendly and the interface is good."
"The API integration and big data approach are very good because of how you extract data from JSP files or big data web repositories like MongoDB."
"There are many architectures: hybrid, cloud, and on-prem."
"The product is easy to install and configure. It is one of the best tools for data integration."
"The most valuable features are definitely data integration, data preparation, and data stewardship."
"This is a user-friendly solution that is easy to use."
"The most valuable feature of Talend Open Studio is the tMap component. There is a lot of functionality in one component."
"We're able to handle large amounts of data with ease."
 

Cons

"The main problem of Oracle GoldenGate is that sometimes, the processes get abended. Data consistency is also challenging."
"For Oracle GoldenGate, customers face challenges with patching, the latest updates, and encountering bugs."
"A clean and user-friendly graphical interface based on common design principles would be beneficial."
"The solution's performance needs improvement."
"The solution costs a lot."
"It should be easier to integrate this solution with non-Oracle databases, including cloud-based solutions hosted on Azure."
"The solution's licensing price is very expensive and could be made more competitive."
"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."
"There used to be many Youtube channels that offered Talend training, but now there don't seem to be any. The solution should offer more online training resources."
"It is complicated to understand the configuration process for email components."
"The technical support and documentation need a lot of work to come up to standard."
"If I compare Open Studion to other solutions, their interface is robust but not so fancy looking. This is an area that could use improvement. I would like to see an updated interface."
"When faced with a challenge, such as the necessity to link up with an unconventional data source like the legacy Cyprus Vision database that wasn't inherently supported by Talend, I had to resort to writing Python code to establish the connection."
"The solution should offer better integration with other products."
"As for improvement or additional features, I would like to know how to use Java in Talend and also how to use Talend in the cloud or in big data. I would prefer to have storage directly on Talend."
"The physical appearance of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is expensive."
"The return on investment would make it a worthwhile deal."
"Oracle GoldenGate is a high-priced solution because it follows the core-based pricing model versus the software-based pricing model of other solutions."
"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 licensing model should be improved to be more cost-effective for the end users."
"We have purchased corporate licensing to use Oracle GoldenGate."
"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."
"Right now, because we're using the open-source version, there's no cost."
"The cost for one year for the ETL tools, not for the big data, is 6K per year. It is a good price."
"Open Studio has a basic license and additional costs for services, including customer support and technical assistance."
"The cost, particularly in Africa, is quite high."
"For Talend Open Studio, there is a need to make yearly payments towards the licensing cost. Talend Open Studio is a bit expensive, in my opinion."
"Pricing is always a challenge. It is quite an expensive model, but because the platform is so simple to use, we haven't had to purchase any additional licenses."
"I am using the open-source version and it is free."
"Price could be lower. It is getting too expensive when compared to some other solutions, which is actually a little bit concerning."
