We performed a comparison between Azure Data Factory and Oracle GoldenGate based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Data Integration solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable features of the solution are its ease of use and the readily available adapters for connecting with various sources."
"The solution can scale very easily."
"UI is easy to navigate and I can retrieve VTL code without knowing in-depth coding languages."
"The most important feature is that it can help you do the multi-threading concepts."
"The solution has a good interface and the integration with GitHub is very useful."
"I like the basic features like the data-based pipelines."
"From my experience so far, the best feature is the ability to copy data to any environment. We have 100 connects and we can connect them to the system and copy the data from its respective system to any environment. That is the best feature."
"Most of our customers are Microsoft shops and prefer Azure Data Factory because they have good licensing options and a trust factor with Microsoft."
"One feature that stands out for me is the data center capability."
"With Oracle GoldenGate, you can easily sync the tables and put them into the ODS database."
"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."
"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."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The initial setup is straightforward. It doesn't take too much time or effort to implement the solution."
"I like that the product transforms data and provides real-time applications."
"What I have found the most valuable about GoldenGate is that it does real-time and no-downtime migrations. Its migrations are fast. There are not many tools like it on the marketplace."
"The solution can be improved by decreasing the warmup time which currently can take up to five minutes."
"Azure Data Factory should be cheaper to move data to a data center abroad for calamities in case of disasters."
"I rate Azure Data Factory six out of 10 for stability. ADF is stable now, but we had problems recently with indexing on an SQL database. It's slow when dealing with a huge volume of data. It depends on whether the database is configured as general purpose or hyperscale."
"Some known bugs and issues with Azure Data Factory could be rectified."
"There should be a way that it can do switches, so if at any point in time I want to do some hybrid mode of making any data collections or ingestions, I can just click on a button."
"The tool’s workflow is not user-friendly. It should also improve its orchestration monitoring."
"The solution should offer better integration with Azure machine learning. We should be able to embed the cognitive services from Microsoft, for example as a web API. It should allow us to embed Azure machine learning in a more user-friendly way."
"When the record fails, it's tough to identify and log."
"The solution, in general, should be easier to use, with less need to perform workarounds within the system."
"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 GoldenGate license is very costly."
"Microservices Architecture is not user-friendly."
"The main problem of Oracle GoldenGate is that sometimes, the processes get abended. Data consistency is also challenging."
"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."
"You cannot put everything in Golden Gate for the license and large models."
"A clean and user-friendly graphical interface based on common design principles would be beneficial."
