We performed a comparison between Fivetran 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."You can manage all of your connectors individually, which gives you a very good ability to trace which one of your ETL processes is running and when."
"The ease of usability is the most valuable feature. It's very easy and quick to set up. It also has a central hub as opposed to GoldenGate which is one direct interface. For GoldenGate I would have needed three interfaces whereas with HVR I have a central interface that manages everything."
"The most valuable feature of Fivetran is that it only synchronizes what needs to be synchronized."
"The general data ingestion is valuable. It's used for a lot of data. It provides about 90% of the data we use in our data warehouse without needing data engineering."
"The product has some seamless connectors, which are readily available."
"For us, Fivetran has been able to scale both in terms of the data we bring into our warehouse and the amount of data that we use as well."
"Fivetran's most valuable feature is replication."
"It is not like a traditional ETL, but it gives quite a lot of flexibility."
"We use the tool to pull on-prem data."
"This is a powerful solution provided by one of the most respected companies in the computer industry."
"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."
"The replication of the data table is one of the best features."
"What I like most about Oracle GoldenGate is that it supports cross-platform migrations. For example, Oracle GoldenGate could pump data from one type of system to another such as the data from Oracle DB to SQL Db2."
"With Oracle GoldenGate, you can easily sync the tables and put them into the ODS database."
"It is a scalable solution."
"Many of the features of Oracle GoldenGate are valuable. We use Oracle databases and this tool is from Oracle, making it have superior compatibility."
"More connectors are needed for exotic, popular, and rising star portals."
"The customization could improve because Fivetran gives more thought to people who don't want to manage analytics workflows rather than engineers who want to be able to customize pipelines more thoroughly."
"I would like Fivetran to implement additional resource monitoring and restriction policies."
"We use a separate tool for "reverse ETL", which is the opposite of what Fivetran does; it pushes data from your data warehouse back out to business applications. If Fivetran pulls data from those same applications, they should also enable users to push it back. I would love to do both ETL and reverse ETL in the same tool."
"HVR Software's technical support could be improved. Whenever we log a case, the response that we get from the support is a bit delayed."
"The documentation can be laid out better to make it easier to find things, and I really wish there was built-in support for changing passwords. Some features don't work as advertised for the platform/repository database, and HVR is not always the fastest at getting results."
"Fivetran is very expensive for data sources with a lot of rows, such as email data. I would like to see cheaper pricing for data sources like that."
"The documentation is decent, but it's hard to find information online about Fivetran. For example, if you try to search for an error code, you won't find much information about it in forums."
"Microservices Architecture is not user-friendly."
"I find the user interface to be difficult for non-technical people."
"Additional performance metrics should be added and visible in a dashboard, displayed in a detailed manner."
"It would be better for Oracle Golden Gate Studio GUI to include other licensed products (i.e. Veridata or others)."
"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."
"It should be easier to integrate this solution with non-Oracle databases, including cloud-based solutions hosted on Azure."
"Some issues regarding stability need to be resolved."
