We performed a comparison between Fivetran 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."The ease of usability is the most valuable feature. It's very easy and quick to set up. It also has a central hub as opposed to GoldenGate which is one direct interface. For GoldenGate I would have needed three interfaces whereas with HVR I have a central interface that manages everything."
"For us, Fivetran has been able to scale both in terms of the data we bring into our warehouse and the amount of data that we use as well."
"The product has some seamless connectors, which are readily available."
"You can manage all of your connectors individually, which gives you a very good ability to trace which one of your ETL processes is running and when."
"Fivetran can perform data migration incredibly fast, depending on the source and target."
"It is not like a traditional ETL, but it gives quite a lot of flexibility."
"The solution is stable. We've never faced any stability issues."
"The general data ingestion is valuable. It's used for a lot of data. It provides about 90% of the data we use in our data warehouse without needing data engineering."
"GoldenGate can connect and collect data from multiple sources, such as SQL Server."
"This solution provides us with real-time replication and it does not affect the performance of other operations, which is very important to us."
"The initial setup is straightforward. It doesn't take too much time or effort to implement the solution."
"We use the tool to pull on-prem data."
"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 replication of the data table is one of the best features."
"It's very simple to configure, it's very simple to implement. In addition, the ability it has to capture data and transmit it with incredible speed is better than any of the product out there. It's extremely powerful."
"One feature that stands out for me is the data center capability."
"Fivetran would be improved by adding the ability to integrate the data from third-party APIs."
"It should have a few more monitoring functionalities."
"The environment must be more development-friendly."
"We experience cost issues because Fivetran is charged on a usage basis. When you reach a certain level, the tool should focus on reducing the costs. The solution is expensive when you are moving gigabytes and petabytes of data. It should also focus more on REST APIs and webhooks."
"More connectors are needed for exotic, popular, and rising star portals."
"There was a random change to our contract in a unilateral manner after the first year. The overall cost of using Fivetran was then unclear and this is the reason I would not recommend this solution."
"I would like for them to incorporate additional transformations. A valuable aspect of the product is that it does inflight transformations and that could be expanded."
"The documentation can be laid out better to make it easier to find things, and I really wish there was built-in support for changing passwords. Some features don't work as advertised for the platform/repository database, and HVR is not always the fastest at getting results."
"The solution's licensing price is very expensive and could be made more competitive."
"The solution is quite costly, and if they could reduce their pricing, it would be more economical to implement."
"Some issues regarding stability need to be resolved."
"The product is not easy to use."
"Oracle GoldenGate could improve the price."
"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."
"There are a lot of bugs in the solution."
"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."
