We performed a comparison between Azure Data Factory and Oracle GoldenGate 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."I can do everything I want with SSIS and Azure Data Factory."
"The initial setup is very quick and easy."
"It has built-in connectors for more than 100 sources and onboarding data from many different sources to the cloud environment."
"The best part of this product is the extraction, transformation, and load."
"We use the solution to move data from on-premises to the cloud."
"It is easy to deploy workflows and schedule jobs."
"Azure Data Factory's most valuable features are the packages and the data transformation that it allows us to do, which is more drag and drop, or a visual interface. So, that eases the entire process."
"It is easy to integrate."
"The replication of the data table is one of the best features."
"The product is reliable for data integrity."
"The live application feature is most valuable. The solution is stable. I rate it a seven out of ten."
"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."
"I like that the product transforms data and provides real-time applications."
"It is quite scalable."
"The CDC feature is interesting."
"The solution's existing SaaS platform for data integration gives us an edge."
"Data Factory could be improved in terms of data transformations by adding more metadata extractions."
"When the record fails, it's tough to identify and log."
"Some known bugs and issues with Azure Data Factory could be rectified."
"On the UI side, they could make it a little more intuitive in terms of how to add the radius components. Somebody who has been working with tools like Informatica or DataStage gets very used to how the UI looks and feels."
"They require more detailed error reporting, data normalization tools, easier connectivity to other services, more data services, and greater compatibility with other commonly used schemas."
"There is always room to improve. There should be good examples of use that, of course, customers aren't always willing to share. It is Catch-22. It would help the user base if everybody had really good examples of deployments that worked, but when you ask people to put out their good deployments, which also includes me, you usually got, "No, I'm not going to do that." They don't have enough good examples. Microsoft probably just needs to pay one of their partners to build 20 or 30 examples of functional Data Factories and then share them as a user base."
"The tool’s workflow is not user-friendly. It should also improve its orchestration monitoring."
"There is room for improvement primarily in its streaming capabilities. For structured streaming and machine learning model implementation within an ETL process, it lags behind tools like Informatica."
"I find the user interface to be difficult for non-technical people."
"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."
"The solution costs a lot."
"The front-end management isn't very good."
"The solution, in general, should be easier to use, with less need to perform workarounds within the system."
"It would be great if Oracle added some enhanced features or more functionalities to Oracle GoldenGate."
"A clean and user-friendly graphical interface based on common design principles would be beneficial."
"Oracle GoldenGate can enhance its functionality by enabling the merging of multiple migrations into one."
