Find out in this report how the two Streaming Analytics solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The benefit is escaping email communication. Sometimes people ignore emails or put them into spam, but with Confluence, everyone sees the same text at the same time."
"The documentation process is fast with the tool."
"The design of the product is extremely well built and it is highly configurable."
"We mostly use the solution's message queues and event-driven architecture."
"Implementing Confluent's schema registry has significantly enhanced our organization's data quality assurance."
"I find Confluent's Kafka Connectors and Kafka Streams invaluable for my use cases because they simplify real-time data processing and ETL tasks by providing reliable, pre-packaged connectors and tools."
"The client APIs are the most valuable feature."
"The solution can handle a high volume of data because it works and scales well."
"The replication of the data table is one of the best features."
"The most valuable feature is data replication capability."
"The most valuable features of Oracle GoldenGate are the schema application and performance."
"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."
"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."
"The product is reliable for data integrity."
"This solution has a well-known procedure for troubleshooting and tuning the performance, providing for smooth operation."
"They should remove Zookeeper because of security issues."
"In Confluent, there could be a few more VPN options."
"The pricing model should include the ability to pick features and be charged for them only."
"Currently, in the early stages, I see a gap on the security side. If you are using the SaaS version, we would like to get a fuller, more secure solution that can be adopted right out of the box. Confluence could do a better job sharing best practices or a reusable pattern that others have used, especially for companies that can not afford to hire professional services from Confluent."
"The Schema Registry service could be improved. I would like a bigger knowledge base of other use cases and more technical forums. It would be good to have more flexible monitoring features added to the next release as well."
"The product should integrate tools for incorporating diagrams like Lucidchart. It also needs to improve its formatting features. We also faced issues while granting permissions."
"It could be improved by including a feature that automatically creates a new topic and puts failed messages."
"Confluence could improve the server version of the solution. However, most companies are going to the cloud."
"Technical support for Oracle products needs to be more efficient (at least locally in Egypt)."
"It would be great if Oracle added some enhanced features or more functionalities to Oracle GoldenGate."
"Oracle GoldenGate could improve the price."
"Some issues regarding stability need to be resolved."
"Additional performance metrics should be added and visible in a dashboard, displayed in a detailed manner."
"Lacks the ability to become a full-scale ETL tool."
"Monitoring must be a bit more enhanced."
"The GoldenGate license is very costly."
