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."This is a powerful solution provided by one of the most respected companies in the computer industry."
"The most valuable feature is data replication capability."
"You can use Oracle GoldenGate as a DR for your system."
"It allows us to migrate from one system to another, from one server to another, with no downtime, no outage. We can get the data synchronized with multiple databases and then switch the connectivity across to the new servers."
"One feature that stands out for me is the data center capability."
"Ease of installation, maintenance and powerful outputs and supporting Big Data and Cloud environment as well as OGGCS (Oracle Golden Gate Cloud Service)."
"The CDC feature is interesting."
"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."
"It's very flexible and a good platform to use."
"The MFT component of webMethods, for example, is easy to set up and convenient to use. It handles files very efficiently and it is easy to automate tasks with complex schedules. Monitoring is centralized to MWS which can be used to monitor other products as well (Trading Networks, BPM, MFT, etc.)"
"Ease of implementation and flexibility to hold the business logic are the most valuable features."
"Some of the key features are the integration platform, query mechanism, message handling within the bus, and the rules engine. We've had a really good experience with webMethods Integration Server."
"It frankly fills the gap between IT and business by having approval and policy enforcement on each state and cycle of the asset from the moment it gets created until it is retired."
"The product supports various types of digital documents, including XMLs and EDI."
"The tool is very powerful and user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature of the webMethods Integration Server is the built-in monitoring, auditing, RETS, and SOAP services."
"Technical support for Oracle products needs to be more efficient (at least locally in Egypt)."
"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."
"You cannot put everything in Golden Gate for the license and large models."
"Oracle GoldenGate could improve the price."
"It would be great if Oracle added some enhanced features or more functionalities to Oracle GoldenGate."
"It's stable but you have to know how to maintain it. That's why it's not 10 out of 10 for me. There are some bugs, there are some issues here and there. All of a sudden your process is not working and you have to figure out why, and sometimes it's not so clear."
"The GoldenGate license is very costly."
"The tool's connections are disconnected at times. The tool needs to integrate other databases."
"Forced migration from MessageBroker to Universal Messaging requires large scale reimplementation for JMS."
"t doesn't represent OOP very well, just a method and proprietary interface called IData."
"On the monitoring side of things, the UI for monitoring could be improved. It's a bit cumbersome to work with."
"The solution has big instances when deployed under microservices or in a containerized platform. They need to improve that so that it is competitive with other integration solutions, like Redis and Kafka. Deployments under microservices with those solutions are much more lightweight, in the size of the runtime itself, compared with Software AG."
"There should be better logging, or a better dashboard, to allow you to see see the logs of the services."
"Large file handling is pretty hard comparatively to other middleware tools."
"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."
"We need more dashboards and reporting engines that can provide detailed information for management. In short, we need better analytics."
