"The scalability is excellent."
"The product’s flexibility is valuable."
"The agentless RCDC enablement through PowerExchange is a great idea and has worked very well so far."
"Overall, it's a good tool. It's currently number one on the market. It pretty much has all the necessary capabilities to pull the incremental data from the source system, technically speaking."
"The main benefit of PowerExchange is its native real-time capabilities. Competing tools are counting on third-party packages or Oracle to offer real-time capabilities. However, Informatica has a native ability to scan the data on the file system level and capture the changes almost instantly when I push it to the consumers. The solution has a powerful built-in replication engine."
"Provides a significant amount of control over the landscape and overall implementation."
"This product is easy to install and it can be done in a few hours."
"The live application feature is most valuable. The solution is stable. I rate it a seven out of ten."
"It is a scalable solution."
"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 solution's existing SaaS platform for data integration gives us an edge."
"It is quite scalable."
"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."
"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."
"I would like the stability to improve."
"The solution could be made more user-friendly. The configurations are also quite difficult."
"They should make it quick and easy for use of citizen data integration or for people or integrators developing at the customer side. They could be development teams within the business team. For them, the product owners can consider making it a little bit more seamless and a little bit more democratized."
"The product's high costs can be an area of concern where improvements are required."
"V10.2 is very stable, but we are still struggling to make V10.5 stable. We found services that were down, and PowerExchange stopped working."
"Pushdown optimization could be improved."
"Should diversify more, maybe with a reporting and visualization utility,"
"Integration with the largest number of databases and other systems would be important."
"The GoldenGate license is very costly."
"Lacks the ability to become a full-scale ETL tool."
"Oracle GoldenGate can enhance its functionality by enabling the merging of multiple migrations into one."
"It would be great if Oracle added some enhanced features or more functionalities to Oracle GoldenGate."
"Oracle GoldenGate could improve the price."
"The process of transforming the data between two different databases is inefficient and needs to be improved."
"It should be easier to integrate this solution with non-Oracle databases, including cloud-based solutions hosted on Azure."
"Oracle GoldenGate's installation is not user-friendly, we had to read a lot of documentation for the setup and configuration."
