We performed a comparison between AWS Database Migration Service and Oracle GoldenGate based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud Data Integration solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The tools are very user-friendly."
"The initial setup is simple. Not that much complex."
"The process is now simplified because there won't be maintenance. Usually we can take a snapshot of the number I need. We can automate the backup snapshots and we can restore it very quickly. We get many benefits from the application."
"Even if it does break down, it will automatically recover itself and resumes from where it stopped."
"Scalable and stable solution for migrating databases to AWS, with valuable features such as parallel full load and continuous data replication."
"The most valuable feature of AWS Database Migration Service is it catches all the history changes, such as inset, observe, and delete. It tracks everything."
"The installation is easy."
"We particularly like that this solution has the facility to integrate with all ETL tools."
"The solution is useful for data transformation."
"With Oracle GoldenGate, you can easily sync the tables and put them into the ODS database."
"The CDC feature is interesting."
"Data migration is the most valuable feature of Oracle GoldenGate."
"This solution has a well-known procedure for troubleshooting and tuning the performance, providing for smooth operation."
"It is a scalable solution."
"When we are replicating data between similar databases then it is straightforward."
"Ease of installation, maintenance and powerful outputs and supporting Big Data and Cloud environment as well as OGGCS (Oracle Golden Gate Cloud Service)."
"I think that Amazon needs to improve the migration scenarios after analytics"
"What needs improvement in AWS Database Migration Service is that it lacks a log file validation feature. If the solution could provide more details about a particular transaction, that would be helpful. The stability of AWS Database Migration Service for online CDC records also needs to be improved."
"There is no connectivity to the source database or the target database."
"Migrating from here and pushing the data from on-premise to AWS cloud is a big challenge and a few more services from AWS would be helpful. For example, we are currently using ILDB internet tools which move data from on-premise to the AWS cloud. A few more services would be really helpful for me to move the master data."
"As a solution, the better thing is if more platforms come with direct compatibility, like connecting to different data sources. The basic problem I faced the most was while transferring and reading data from Excel. So, one time, I found that all the components I had declared in my scripts were able to take it. And after some patching happens, it is not able to support that. Again, we need to update the version of Excel. So, it's not like a plug-in type place where you have done the solution and are confident that it will work. So, this is an area of improvement."
"If they had some sort of functionality where, at a specific point in time, if I want to start a new job, it should automatically pick up from where it has been left rather than having people worry about the exact job number and the timing."
"The names of the services need improvement since AWS doesn't indicate what the function of the product is presently. You need to read a lot to find the service that you want in the product."
"We would like to see some improvement in the performance of large scale procedures, such as when we migrate from Oracle to csSQL."
"The front-end management isn't very good."
"The solution is quite costly, and if they could reduce their pricing, it would be more economical to implement."
"The GoldenGate license is very costly."
"You cannot put everything in Golden Gate for the license and large models."
"In the future, I would appreciate a more user-friendly monitoring interface for easier management and troubleshooting."
"Technical support for Oracle products needs to be more efficient (at least locally in Egypt)."
"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."
"The solution needs to improve its latency, monitoring and support."
