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."It works with multiple servers and offers high availability."
"The concept of integration is a valuable feature of the product."
"The Hierarchical Data Stage is good."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the ability to incorporate very complex business rules in Data Stage."
"Offers great flexibility."
"ETL is the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature for our data processing needs is IBM InfoSphere DataStage's capability to handle ETL tasks with large record volumes."
"The most valuable feature is the product's versatility to inject data."
"The most valuable features of Oracle GoldenGate are the schema application and performance."
"The most valuable feature is data replication capability."
"It is a scalable solution."
"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."
"This is a powerful solution provided by one of the most respected companies in the computer industry."
"The solution's existing SaaS platform for data integration gives us an edge."
"The product is reliable for data integrity."
"You can use Oracle GoldenGate as a DR for your system."
"Reduced cost would allow more customers to choose the product. It's quite expensive in relation to the cost of other similar solutions."
"The solution can be a bit more user-friendly, similar to Informatica."
"Their web interface is good but the on-prem sites are outdated. The solution could also be improved if they could integrate the data pipeline scheduling part of their interface."
"Currently lacking virtualization ability."
"I really like this tool, but the administration should be on the same client application because a lot of administration features are not on the client-side, and they usually need to have administrative access. It's quite complicated to force IT teams to have separate administrative access from the developers."
"There are three things that could improve - the cloud, monitoring and cloud integration. It's a solid product but not a modern one and of course it depends what you're looking for."
"The interface needs improvement."
"The documentation and in-application help for this solution need to be improved, especially for new features."
"The solution costs a lot."
"The process of transforming the data between two different databases is inefficient and needs to be improved."
"It is not a very stable tool, and you need to monitor it perfectly."
"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."
"Additional performance metrics should be added and visible in a dashboard, displayed in a detailed manner."
"The problem with GoldenGate is it is very complex to use. You need heavyweight skills to use it."
"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."
"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."
