Find out what your peers are saying about Oracle, Quest Software, SolarWinds and others in Database Development and Management."I have worked with DB2's great features in the last five years. The IDAA feature transformed the vision of warehousing, business analytics, and big data at my bank. Besides the mainframe, I saw that this solution was evolutionary. It gives real-time information."
"BMC Data Management improved our data recovery process by simplifying it."
"It is quite scalable."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is data replication capability."
"GoldenGate enables us to merge and transform data from various sources in real time. It's a powerful tool that can read and load most data sources."
"You can put data together from a few databases into one database or the other way, from one database into several. It transforms data in real-time."
"This is a powerful solution provided by one of the most respected companies in the computer industry."
"This solution has a well-known procedure for troubleshooting and tuning the performance, providing for smooth operation."
"When we are replicating data between similar databases then it is straightforward."
"DB2 is a hard tool to grasp. It's hard for users to learn how to use it. It's not easy to see how it works."
"One area for improvement with this product could be in providing clearer guidance and tools for disaster recovery planning and execution."
"I would like to see the interface more graphical and easier to use."
"It should be easier to integrate this solution with non-Oracle databases, including cloud-based solutions hosted on Azure."
"The solution is quite costly, and if they could reduce their pricing, it would be more economical to implement."
"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."
"It would be better for Oracle Golden Gate Studio GUI to include other licensed products (i.e. Veridata or others)."
"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 find the user interface to be difficult for non-technical people."
"Lacks the ability to become a full-scale ETL tool."
