We performed a comparison between Informatica Cloud Data Integration and Oracle GoldenGate based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud Data Integration solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We have a lot of integrations, and it's very easy to create integrations. They have a lot of connectors."
"It has a more UI-based tool, and the scripting is good."
"Informatica is good for integrating data and cloud applications. We have connectors for integrating cloud applications like Salesforce. You can quickly integrate anything with an exposed API or a REST API. The industry is increasingly shifting to the cloud, so we need more products that can connect to cloud-based applications. The integration is seamless and works in real time. It's also secure because you don't need to expose databases or tables."
"Data synchronization tasks."
"REST API: Excellent for scripting control and reporting mechanisms"
"The solution's initial setup is quite straightforward."
"It has become an easy way to exchange information through any cloud application."
"It is quite easy to use and flexible."
"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."
"The product is reliable for data integrity."
"This solution has a well-known procedure for troubleshooting and tuning the performance, providing for smooth operation."
"This is a powerful solution provided by one of the most respected companies in the computer industry."
"We use the tool to pull on-prem data."
"The CDC feature is interesting."
"When we are replicating data between similar databases then it is straightforward."
"For small databases, GoldenGate handles the migration well."
"Cost-wise, it could be better."
"It needs to be a little more intuitive but it’s really not bad."
"Informatica Cloud Data Integration could improve the price by making it less expensive."
"Performance also needs to be significantly improved, especially when connecting to SFDC for read and write operations."
"The biggest challenge I see is the IDE's for the cloud and automization are different."
"Informatica Cloud Data Integration can improve by being more user-friendly. When you're working with the solution a lot of technical knowledge is required. It's not a solution that anyone can use properly, you need knowledge of what's happening at the back end, such as SQL. When you get stuck, you need to look into your logic. For other tools, such as Dell Boomi, anyone can use them."
"The error information provided is not informative, as compared to Power Center."
"The regions in which the data resides are still limited. This could be an issue in terms of the data residency laws of some of the countries. They should get more regions."
"It should be easier to integrate this solution with non-Oracle databases, including cloud-based solutions hosted on Azure."
"Microservices Architecture is not user-friendly."
"A clean and user-friendly graphical interface based on common design principles would be beneficial."
"The front-end management isn't very good."
"Oracle GoldenGate can enhance its functionality by enabling the merging of multiple migrations into one."
"The solution needs to improve its latency, monitoring and support."
"Additional performance metrics should be added and visible in a dashboard, displayed in a detailed manner."
"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."
