We performed a comparison between Oracle Enterprise Manager and Oracle GoldenGate based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Oracle, Quest Software, SolarWinds and others in Database Development and Management."It's a useful feature to be able to see the top SQL, the number of executions, the CPU, and the resources that it's using."
"I have found the singular GUI feature very helpful. Fewer DBA resources can be allocated with Toad licenses."
"SQL Tuning Advisor, ADDM, Top Activity, ASM Space Manager, Incident Notifications"
"Oracle Enterprise Manager has eased the responsibilities among our DBAs. We can now assign individual tasks to separate DBAs."
"Some of the most valuable features are its real-time performance view/dashboard, metric history, real-time monitoring and alerts, as well as quick access to Oracle's tuning and diagnostic options."
"The job subsystem, monitoring subsystem, alerting, grouping of targets, and reporting features are valuable to us."
"It is the best database management system."
"I have found the uptime of all of our systems to be most valuable with this solution. This is important because we need to guarantee specific uptime and preventive maintenance. We need to know upfront if there are going to be any issues on the database so we can proactively solve those."
"Ease of installation, maintenance and powerful outputs and supporting Big Data and Cloud environment as well as OGGCS (Oracle Golden Gate Cloud Service)."
"It is a scalable solution."
"It works best with Oracle."
"GoldenGate can connect and collect data from multiple sources, such as SQL Server."
"The initial setup is straightforward. It doesn't take too much time or effort to implement the solution."
"It scales well. You can either have it working in with the databases, or you can move it outside. It's got the ability to parallelize up, so you can certainly extract and replay the data from your databases in parallel. So it does have horizontal scalability. That is probably one of its stronger features, the ability just to automatically parallelize the replay and playing of data to allow to scale to large volumes."
"CDC is the most valuable feature."
"Many of the features of Oracle GoldenGate are valuable. We use Oracle databases and this tool is from Oracle, making it have superior compatibility."
"We could use it but definitely with some effort we can streamline much better and sometimes some box here and there, like 13C you have to really wait, but there are great features. Just have to make sure it is a stable product."
"I rate Oracle Enterprise Manager six out of 10 for affordability. It's expensive."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
"There's a lot of documentation to go through as a new user."
"The solution is not as simple as people say it is."
"Technical support could be faster."
"The solution has a very large resource system. It's too big. There are too many items."
"Patching. It's extremely difficult to determine what requires patching and the process to patch each component is slightly different."
"What needs improvement in Oracle GoldenGate is the support. Another feature that needs to be improved in the solution is its GUI. It would be useful for programmers or users to be able to work from the GUI, not just from the command line. Simplifying how Oracle GoldenGate is used would also make the solution better."
"Monitoring must be a bit more enhanced."
"Oracle GoldenGate can enhance its functionality by enabling the merging of multiple migrations into one."
"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 main problem of Oracle GoldenGate is that sometimes, the processes get abended. Data consistency is also challenging."
"It would be great if Oracle added some enhanced features or more functionalities to Oracle GoldenGate."
"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."
"It should be easier to integrate this solution with non-Oracle databases, including cloud-based solutions hosted on Azure."
