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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Since the world is going towards open source, the solution's heterogeneous data migration feature is very useful."
"They've recently improved the ease of implementation."
"With Oracle GoldenGate, you can easily sync the tables and put them into the ODS database."
"The product's initial setup phase was very simple."
"Many of the features of Oracle GoldenGate are valuable. We use Oracle databases and this tool is from Oracle, making it have superior compatibility."
"GoldenGate can connect and collect data from multiple sources, such as SQL Server."
"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."
"It is quite scalable."
"Customer support is very efficient."
"The high availability, tolerance, and load balancing features are top-notch. Its scalability features are also pretty cool."
"The most important thing is that it is easy for developers to work with."
"The solution is very scalable. It can handle a lot. We have encryption plus integration servers running on that platform currently."
"One of the most valuable features is data transformation. We have some legacy systems which are in old technology, like SOAP, whereas the new ones are in REST. So we use BusinessWorks to transform data from one format to another, from SOAP to REST."
"The OSGI console is available to debug different issues and get low level informations on the applications development, like bundle, dependencies, etc."
"It is user friendly, it's not complex."
"XML to JSON transformations, out-of-the-box, helps to build REST services."
 

Cons

"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."
"The solution costs a lot."
"The solution sometimes has issues with long transactions and replication delays. Its pricing needs improvement."
"In the future, I would appreciate a more user-friendly monitoring interface for easier management and troubleshooting."
"What needs improvement in Oracle GoldenGate is the support. Another feature that needs to be improved in the solution is its GUI. It would be useful for programmers or users to be able to work from the GUI, not just from the command line. Simplifying how Oracle GoldenGate is used would also make the solution better."
"It would be great if Oracle added some enhanced features or more functionalities to Oracle GoldenGate."
"You cannot put everything in Golden Gate for the license and large models."
"Lacks the ability to become a full-scale ETL tool."
"The communication protocols could be improved."
"Improve Business Studio's stability to further minimize development time."
"The cost has room for improvement."
"The solution’s customer support should be improved."
"The container-based image is too large and this makes auto-scaling difficult."
"A possible improvement could be to give the capability to use different profiles for each AppNode when an application is deployed on an AppSpace."
"TIBCO BusinessWorks needs to improve its digital IDs and data processing capabilities. It will benefit small and medium businesses."
"Challenges with TIBCO BusinessWorks were mainly due to unclear documentation, but these were overcome by referring to comprehensive documents and raising tickets with TIBCO support."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We do like the price of this solution."
"Pricing is based on anual licensing with additional costs for support packages."
"It is an expensive product."
"In addition to the licensing fee, customers are also required to pay an additional 24 percent for the support."
"Oracle GoldenGate is a high-priced solution because it follows the core-based pricing model versus the software-based pricing model of other solutions."
"The price of this solution is good."
"The tool is a bit expensive."
"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 payments made for service are the only addition to the standard licensing fees that we pay for the solution."
"I would rate the solution's pricing a three out of ten."
"I think BusinessWorks is more expensive compared to other products. We have the ELA, so at least we have some sort of bargain or discount with that. But for a start-up, it's very expensive compared to other ESBs."
"My understanding is that the licensing is very costly."
"TIBCO licensing is yearly and very costly for a company like ours."
"Its price policy has changed quite a lot in the last two years. It was extremely expensive previously. Nowadays, you can buy a license for BusinessWorks for €2000. Looking at what you get in return in terms of support, TIBCO community, and stability, it is fairly reasonable. It is not too expensive."
"TIBCO BusinessWorks is expensive."
"The solution is too expensive. It's one of the most expensive solutions out there, particularly because there are so many open-source competitors on the market. I don't know the exact numbers, however."
