We performed a comparison between IDERA ER/Studio and Oracle GoldenGate based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about LeanIX, Sparx Systems, erwin by Quest and others in Enterprise Architecture Management."We found a lot of duplication, a lot of non-conformity in the way our databases were designed. By identifying these situations, we're able to go back in and try to create a more standardized solution."
"The data modeling module is important to me because I am a database developer and designer... It's very fast, reliable, up-to-date, so easy to use, smooth."
"We have a database design group of about 15 people. The Repository enables multiple people to work on the same model at the same time. We have fully integrated models, so we have one model for the enterprise data warehouse, one model for MDM, with a lot of sub-models in these things. People work on different parts of the model at different times. So the repository enables us to share the models, and keep track of what everybody is working on."
"The reverse engineering is the most important feature."
"It's easy to model and has a user-friendly interface. I like the team portal because, once we upload, the entire team can see the model."
"IDERA keeps up with the versions of Oracle and SQL Server that I'm using. I mostly use SQL Server and when there are new features, a new type of index, for example, IDERA also includes them in upgrades of the data modeling tool."
"Data lineage tracking: It allows us to identify upstream and downstream systems using data."
"Modeling with Data Architect: We can quickly reverse-engineer a database from an existing database or create a model from scratch."
"With Oracle GoldenGate, you can easily sync the tables and put them into the ODS database."
"The product's microservice architecture is scalable."
"They've recently improved the ease of implementation."
"Many of the features of Oracle GoldenGate are valuable. We use Oracle databases and this tool is from Oracle, making it have superior compatibility."
"The most valuable feature is data replication capability."
"CDC is the most valuable feature."
"You can put data together from a few databases into one database or the other way, from one database into several. It transforms data in real-time."
"GoldenGate can connect and collect data from multiple sources, such as SQL Server."
"The visual presentation is a little too colorful and seems that it is dumbed down."
"I would like to upload, a database with about 3,000 tables. It takes so much time and, finally, it freezes the whole solution so that I actually cannot work with that environment. For the data warehouse, it's fine because I have 20 or 30 tables. It works fine. But, when I reverse-engineer the database with 3,000 tables, it freezes and it's hard to upload and reverse-engineer such environments in ER/Studio."
"The screens are a bit outdated. They could use a new look and feel."
"The only thing I had an issue with was licensing, and the support was very good."
"Sometimes our version is a little unstable. But I think this problem occurs because our version is old."
"This solution needs more precise documentation."
"They allow functionalities to be released before the full tests for catching and correcting errors are completed."
"The number of options can be overwhelming at times. That is not necessarily a bad thing but for a newbie, it can be daunting."
"GoldenGate is expensive. It's costly because this solution is unique in our market. The GoldenGate Cloud Service is cheaper than the on-premise solution."
"The solution needs to improve its latency, monitoring and support."
"The solution costs a lot."
"Troubleshooting issues is not always the easiest. It should be easier to troubleshoot. Their support can also be improved. They don't read your problem statement and waste a lot of time. GoldenGate for big data is actually a separate license. It is sort of a separate product, but it might fall underneath your GoldenGate category. If we're talking about big data, its interaction with big data sources is poorly documented."
"You cannot put everything in Golden Gate for the license and large models."
"I would like to see the interface more graphical and easier to use."
"The tool's connections are disconnected at times. The tool needs to integrate other databases."
"The solution, in general, should be easier to use, with less need to perform workarounds within the system."
