We performed a comparison between Oracle GoldenGate and TIBCO BusinessWorks 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."Ease of installation, maintenance and powerful outputs and supporting Big Data and Cloud environment as well as OGGCS (Oracle Golden Gate Cloud Service)."
"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."
"The initial setup is straightforward. It doesn't take too much time or effort to implement the solution."
"It moves the data as you set it up, and it works. I am also very impressed with its stability and scalability. It is not super feature-rich, but the new releases have more functionality. It recently had more native integrations with Oracle Database. If you are using it against an Oracle database, it has a lot more functionality."
"The live application feature is most valuable. The solution is stable. I rate it a seven out of ten."
"Since the world is going towards open source, the solution's heterogeneous data migration feature is very useful."
"The most valuable features of Oracle GoldenGate are the schema application and performance."
"You can use Oracle GoldenGate as a DR for your system."
"It is very stable. It is a market leader, and it has connectors to many of the legacy systems. It also has enterprise cloud connectors."
"XML to JSON transformations, out-of-the-box, helps to build REST services."
"The most important thing is that it is easy for developers to work with."
"The ability to link to different technologies is valuable to us."
"It is a seamless and sophisticated tool."
"Good TIBCO BusinessWorks features are the admin console and the ability to roll back to the previous version."
"It is user friendly, it's not complex."
"Customer support is very efficient."
"The main problem of Oracle GoldenGate is that sometimes, the processes get abended. Data consistency is also challenging."
"The solution's performance needs improvement."
"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's licensing price is very expensive and could be made more competitive."
"A clean and user-friendly graphical interface based on common design principles would be beneficial."
"Monitoring must be a bit more enhanced."
"The tool's connections are disconnected at times. The tool needs to integrate other databases."
"The problem with GoldenGate is it is very complex to use. You need heavyweight skills to use it."
"Its price can be improved. For medium enterprises, it is a very expensive tool. In the market, you won't get many resources for this solution. You won't find many developers in the market very easily. The latest version of TIBCO (6.4 or 6.x) is not very stable. It has got many issues. We have raised this with TIBCO, and they are taking a lot of time to come up with a fix, which is making us move away from this product. Some of the performance-tuning aspects are also missing in version 6. They should provide performance-related fixes, which will be helpful for the customers. If you are migrating from the current version to the container-supported version, it is quite expensive. The product has evolved, but it is very pricey. That's one of the challenges. They have provided all the features that are there in other products, but this is a platform upgrade. The platform has completely been changed from 5.x to 6.x, and we can't use the same environment. We can't run both versions on the same server as VM. The development environment is entirely different. In version 5.x, there was a proprietary designer. Now, it has common plug-ins developed on top of Eclipse."
"Though it is a stable product, if we have an issue with the product, it gets difficult, and it gets really difficult to explain the issue to the support team. Also, it takes a long time to get resolved."
"Scaling with the solution is costly because if we need to scale up, we have to buy more memory. That means more money. Solutions like Camel or Pulsar come with built-in options to scale horizontally, vertically, region-wide or country-wide."
"There are multiple plugins which increase the number of product installations."
"There are not many plugins available to integrate the databases. We have to write it in Java and integrate it. The developers should have more knowledge. These are the three main aspects that they could improve."
"TIBCO BusinessWorks could be improved with cloud support."
"Technical support is average. It's not the best."
"There is room for improvement on the learning side."
