Find out what your peers are saying about Oracle, Quest Software, SolarWinds and others in Database Development and Management."I have worked with DB2's great features in the last five years. The IDAA feature transformed the vision of warehousing, business analytics, and big data at my bank. Besides the mainframe, I saw that this solution was evolutionary. It gives real-time information."
"BMC Data Management improved our data recovery process by simplifying it."
"Since the world is going towards open source, the solution's heterogeneous data migration feature is very useful."
"For small databases, GoldenGate handles the migration well."
"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."
"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."
"With Oracle GoldenGate, you can easily sync the tables and put them into the ODS database."
