We performed a comparison between Oracle GoldenGate and SSIS 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."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."
"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."
"The product's initial setup phase was very simple."
"It allows us to migrate from one system to another, from one server to another, with no downtime, no outage. We can get the data synchronized with multiple databases and then switch the connectivity across to the new servers."
"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."
"Data migration is the most valuable feature of Oracle GoldenGate."
"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 replication of the data table is one of the best features."
"The script component is very powerful, things that you cannot normally do, is feasible through C#."
"It is easy to set up. The deployment is also very quick."
"The workflow features have been very valuable. You can have automated workflows and all the steps are controlled. The workflow functionality of integration services is excellent."
"The most valuable features of SSIS are that it works with the query language and it can import data from different sources."
"The most valuables features are the relatively short learning curve, and the automation capabilities provided through the BIML add-in for SSDT."
"Data Flows are the main component we use. These can range from a simple source to sink ETL, to many source to many sink dataflows."
"SSIS provides you with lookup and transformation functions, and you have the flexibility to write your own custom code."
"The scalability of SSIS is good."
"The product lacks some features and it's expensive."
"IBM CDC has one central control while Oracle GoldenGate has two controls. In IBM CDC we can do all things in frontend. The solution needs to incorporate a feature where we can connect it to a standby database."
"There are a lot of bugs in the solution."
"We struggle with memory. It's limited. However, it may be because of our unique business case and how we use it that it's limiting for us."
"The main problem of Oracle GoldenGate is that sometimes, the processes get abended. Data consistency is also challenging."
"The GoldenGate license is very costly."
"Oracle GoldenGate can enhance its functionality by enabling the merging of multiple migrations into one."
"In some cases, expectations were not met, especially when specific tables were expected to be disabled, and changes were anticipated in the target environment. We had to take backups from the source and refresh the address to address this."
"SSIS can improve by the minimum code requirements in stored procedures and exporting data is difficult. They could make it easier, it should be as easy as it is to import data."
"SSIS doesn't have a very good user interface, but if you can work with it, it'll provide you with almost all of the functionality."
"The security could be improved, as it is more important in our context."
"Improving the login procedure would make our reporting easier on monitoring our ETL processes."
"Involving a data lake or data engineering aspects would be useful. While it is there, we need more features included."
"Performance could be better."
"Tuning using this solution requires extensive expertise to improve performance."
"We've had issues in terms of the amount of data that is transferred when we are scheduling."
Oracle GoldenGate is ranked 6th in Data Integration with 47 reviews while SSIS is ranked 2nd in Data Integration with 69 reviews. Oracle GoldenGate is rated 8.2, while SSIS is rated 7.6. The top reviewer of Oracle GoldenGate writes "Performs real-time replication without data loss, but we cannot do much automation". On the other hand, the top reviewer of SSIS writes "Maintaining the solution and contacting its support team is easy". Oracle GoldenGate is most compared with AWS Database Migration Service, Qlik Replicate, Quest SharePlex, Azure Data Factory and AWS Glue, whereas SSIS is most compared with Informatica PowerCenter, Talend Open Studio, IBM InfoSphere DataStage, Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) and SnapLogic.

There are two products I know about
* TimeXtender : Microsoft based, Transformation logic is quiet good and can easily be extended with T-SQL , Has a semantic layer that generates metat data for cubes . price approx 40K$, works with tables
. Attunity (Bought by Qlik) : technology agnostic , nice web interface , expensive > 100K€. Works with transaction logs
There are many other pure ETL tools
* ERWIN has a nice one ,
Depends upon the technologies being used. If you're using Oracle for both OLTP and OLAP then you'll get a lot of value from an Oracle solution.
The other question is how up to date do you want your OLAP DB to be? Goldengate is a good answer if you're looking to minimize latency, but it can be expensive. ODI is less expensive but better suited to bulkier data sets. If an Oracle product wasn't the option I'd probably consider something like Informatica.

As someone mentioned, if you're purely Oracle shop and staying that way then there's value with prioritizing Oracle tools. However, let me contrast that with this caveat...
Consider expectations for tool and vendor longevity. Oracle has a long history of retiring and/or replacing tools leaving customers in the cold with prior versions/tools (I've been burned multiple times by Oracle product retirements or replacements including OWB, Oracle Designer2k, Oracle Express, Oracle OEDW, their purchase of Sagent ETL which as later abandoned).
But I would also consider these questions and relative prioritization:
What is your organization's plans for moving to other database technologies?
Where is your org going with on-prem versus cloud solutions? How important are PaaS versus IaaS solutions?
Where is your current staff's expertise?
Prioritize mature over immature tools.
How many sources do you have? What are their technologies and does the integration tool support them?
Is it just moving data from a single ERP such as Oracle EBS to Olap? When you say Olap what do you mean by that? Are you talking Oracle Olap product or something else? That makes a really big difference of course - if your ETL tool doesn't support your source(s) and target(s) then it shouldn't be considered.
Given the industry's trajectory, I myself would highly prioritize PaaS solutions over others.
What is the OLAP that you are using? Hosted in Cloud or on-premise?
The target DB should have its tool to extract data.
Pentaho is a really nice tool if opensource is the only option.
Please think about issues such as upgrade and disaster in the future. These operations are very easy in Pentaho.
I can only suggest one thing for replication and that is Qlik. (ex-Attunity).
Hi Karoly, Thanks for your input. community: forums.pentaho.com is not allowing new registrations for new users. I guess they accept queries from customers only and not from any one. Do you know any other forum, community, SMEs contacts who can help on queries?
