We performed a comparison between Oracle GoldenGate and webMethods Integration Server 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."The most valuable feature of Oracle GoldenGate is its cost-effectiveness compared to other solutions like Oracle Data Guard, especially for Oracle-to-non-Oracle replication scenarios."
"The live application feature is most valuable. The solution is stable. I rate it a seven out of ten."
"The most valuable features of Oracle GoldenGate are the schema application and performance."
"For small databases, GoldenGate handles the migration well."
"I am impressed with the tool's possibility of integrating different systems in a unified place."
"The most valuable feature is data replication capability."
"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."
"The product's initial setup phase was very simple."
"Broker and UM are the best features."
"The comprehensiveness and depth of Integration Servers' connectors to packaged apps and custom apps is unlimited. They have a connector for everything. If they don't, you can build it yourself. Or oftentimes, if there is value for other customers as well, you can talk with webMethods about creating a new adapter for you."
"The tool is very powerful and user-friendly."
"One valuable feature is that it is event-driven, so when new data is available on the source it can be quickly processed and displayed. Integration is definitely another useful feature, and B2B is one area where webMethods has its own unique thing going, whereby we can do monitoring of transactions, monitoring of client onboarding, and so on."
"All of the components are very independent but are tied together to give the business value."
"I would say the core Web-based integrations work the best. They are the most efficient and robust implementations one can do with webMethods."
"The synchronous and asynchronous messaging system the solution provides is very good."
"The development is very fast. If you know what you're doing, you can develop something very easily and very fast."
"In the future, I would appreciate a more user-friendly monitoring interface for easier management and troubleshooting."
"The product lacks some features and it's expensive."
"The front-end management isn't very good."
"Monitoring must be a bit more enhanced."
"I would like to see the interface more graphical and easier to use."
"The solution needs to improve its latency, monitoring and support."
"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."
"The solution, in general, should be easier to use, with less need to perform workarounds within the system."
"Business monitoring (BAM) needs improvement because the analytics and prediction module very often has performance problems."
"For code version control, you need to use some external software."
"There should be better logging, or a better dashboard, to allow you to see see the logs of the services."
"Version control is not very easy. The packages and the integration server are on Eclipse IDE, but you can't compare the code from the IDE. For example, if you are working on Java code, doing version control and deployment for a quick comparison between the code isn't easy. Some tools or plug-ins are there, such as CrossVista, and you can also play with an SVN server where you have to place your package, and from there, you can check, but you have to do that as a separate exercise. You can't do it from the IDE or webMethods server. You can't just right-click and upload your service."
"This product is for larger companies. Compared to TIBCO I think webMethods is better in terms of ease of use and support."
"The market webMethods Integration Server falls under is a very crowded market, so for the product to stand out, Software AG would need to get traction in the open source community by releasing a new version or a base version and open source it, so people can create new custom components and add it to the portfolio."
"Upgrades are complex. They typically take about five months from start to finish. There are many packages that plug into webMethods Integration Server, which is the central point for a vast majority of the transactions at my organization. Anytime we are upgrading that, there are complexities within each component that we must understand. That makes any upgrade very cumbersome and complicated. That has been my experience at this company. Because there are many different business units that we are touching, there are so many different components that we are touching. The amount of READMEs that you have to go through takes some time."
"wM SAP Adapter User Guide - Example, like Message Broker setup was unclear, leading to issues during Testing and we had refer the internet forums to understand that there is a Message Broker Cleanup utility and that needs to be setup as well."
