Find out in this report how the two Metadata Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The metadata management of Informatica is great."
"The product seems stable enough."
"Multifeatured and easily scalable data catalog, with good data domain discovery and data profiling features."
"The way that the solution scans is very useful."
"We can scan anything."
"The most valuable feature is its ability to extract metadata from various sources- be it an old SaaS application or the latest cloud application."
"The solution scales well."
"I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"I like that the product transforms data and provides real-time applications."
"For small databases, GoldenGate handles the migration well."
"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."
"This solution has a well-known procedure for troubleshooting and tuning the performance, providing for smooth operation."
"Data migration is the most valuable feature of Oracle GoldenGate."
"It moves the data as you set it up, and it works. I am also very impressed with its stability and scalability. It is not super feature-rich, but the new releases have more functionality. It recently had more native integrations with Oracle Database. If you are using it against an Oracle database, it has a lot more functionality."
"It is quite scalable."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle GoldenGate is its cost-effectiveness compared to other solutions like Oracle Data Guard, especially for Oracle-to-non-Oracle replication scenarios."
"IEDC can improve the comparison of lineages."
"Currently, there are limitations in processing and the interface."
"The scalability is tough."
"It is not easy to set up and configure the tool."
"It is more complicated to extract data using the product compared to Visio. The system could display the details on the screen."
"Informatica Enterprise Data Catalog could improve by having a much better user interface. It is not user-friendly."
"The solution is quite expensive."
"Interoperability is one area where EDC has room for improvement. It was challenging when the faculty took over the data world and had specific vendors they wanted to use, and some were not particularly open platforms."
"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."
"You cannot put everything in Golden Gate for the license and large models."
"It is not a very stable tool, and you need to monitor it perfectly."
"Technical support for Oracle products needs to be more efficient (at least locally in Egypt)."
"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."
"In the future, I would appreciate a more user-friendly monitoring interface for easier management and troubleshooting."
"The tool's connections are disconnected at times. The tool needs to integrate other databases."
"I would like to see the interface more graphical and easier to use."
