We performed a comparison between IBM InfoSphere Information Server 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 integration with different technologies is the most valuable feature."
"IBM InfoSphere Information Server is stable."
"This solution is extremely flexible and scalable."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"CDC is the most valuable feature."
"The solution is useful for data transformation."
"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."
"Oracle GoldenGate helps to select and target specific tables for replication. Any changes or operations on those tables are immediately reflected in the source and target environments."
"It is quite scalable."
"You can use Oracle GoldenGate as a DR for your system."
"This solution has a well-known procedure for troubleshooting and tuning the performance, providing for smooth operation."
"The CDC feature is interesting."
"IBM InfoSphere Information Server should be more scalable. It should have the option to change the configuration to run on a single, non-multiple node, or multi-threading processing."
"There are certain shortcomings in the cloud side of the solution, where improvements are required."
"Their technical support needs improvement."
"This solution would benefit from the engine being made more lightweight."
"The process of transforming the data between two different databases is inefficient and needs to be improved."
"Oracle GoldenGate can enhance its functionality by enabling the merging of multiple migrations into one."
"You cannot put everything in Golden Gate for the license and large models."
"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."
"What needs improvement in Oracle GoldenGate is the support. Another feature that needs to be improved in the solution is its GUI. It would be useful for programmers or users to be able to work from the GUI, not just from the command line. Simplifying how Oracle GoldenGate is used would also make the solution better."
"I would like to see the interface more graphical and easier to use."
"Lacks the ability to become a full-scale ETL tool."
