Excellent change data capture utility for distributed multi site environment

Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It is fully featured. It has allowed me to do everything I wanted to do."

More JumpMind SymmetricDS Pros →

"Zapier luckily has a wide range of integrations, I would say.""The solution is a SaaS and does not require a complex setup.""We find it effortless to set up. We really don't have to do anything other than finding the application in the Zapier catalog. And as long as the application has been re-integrated into Zapier, they're able to then just provide the connection details and hook it up.""The product's most valuable feature is automation.""The most valuable feature of Zapier is it saves me time doing repetitive tasks.""Zapier handles everything under the sun that you would think you need in automation. It is the most mature integration platform and service on the market.""The product's initial setup phase was very easy.""Webhooks are the most valuable feature of Zapier."

More Zapier Pros →

Cons
"The user interface could improve. We are looking at some cloud-based databases, and I don't think they support that."

More JumpMind SymmetricDS Cons →

"I think that this solution should have more apps connected to it.""At the moment, they allow a limited number of apps. I look forward to getting more apps for each package.""My biggest concern with Zapier would be their pricing strategy.""The pricing of the solution is quite expensive.""There is room for improvement in the support. They are not responsive, and they don't take much time to get resolved.""Zapier could be a little faster, but that might not be possible. I would encourage Zapier to make more API endpoints for each application""The user interface for Zapier could be improved. It also takes some time to sync the data between different environments.""The solution does not work properly when we apply filters and we get errors."

Pricing and Cost Advice
Information Not Available
  • "There is a free plan that is, of course, limited. However, it allows you to understand and check true scenarios for a while."
  • "Think your Zaps through to make sure you don't use more Zaps than you need."
  • "It's very straightforward licensing. There's only one cost you have to pay, and if you want a relevant pricing plan, I think you have two or three different models or packages which include the number of notifications or Zaps, as they call it, that you can program."
  • "The price of Zapier is approximately $75 monthly."
  • "Zapier is a paid service. Its license renews monthly, and Zapier will downgrade your subscription to the free version when your credit card doesn't have funds. That significantly impacts your service because everything halts completely. Zapier doesn't have any hidden costs."
  • "Per task, there is a monthly plan involving 15 euros...Also, in different forms, they just give you the ability to use different features. They charge 18.58 euros for the first standard plan, which includes 750 tasks. So, it is about 25 cents per task."
  • "It's very affordable."
  • "The least expensive plan is $24 a month, and you can go all the way to $800 a month if you're a huge company using many tasks."

    Overview

    JumpMind SymmetricDS is a powerful data replication software that provides synchronization software solutions for both databases and filesystems. This software is platform-independent and web-enabled as well as database agnostic. JumpMind SymmetricDS creates prompt bi-directional data replication while scaling to a large amount of nodes and working in close to real time across both WAN and LAN networks. This allows companies to integrate data using the feature for continuous change data capture.

    This data replication software allows companies with limited network bandwidth or bad connectivity to benefit from excellent cloud conditions. The greatest benefit of JumpMind SymmetricDS is its vast integration across databases, streaming platforms, and data warehouses. Some of the relational databases where this data replication software can be used include Oracle, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Sybase, Informix, Ingres, Tiber, and VoltDB. NoSQL databases like MongoDB, Apache Cassandra, and Azure Cosmos are also compatible with the JumpMind SymmetricDS data replication software. The data warehouses that are compatible with this software include Teradata, SAP HANA, Azure-SQL server by Microsoft, BigQuery, Amazon Redshift, Pivotal Greenplum, and Snowflake data warehouse. Providing coverage of so many databases and warehouses allows broad outreach of the JumpMind SymmetricDS across many different companies and users.

    Reviews from Real Users

    According to the CEO at a non-profit, JumpMind SymmetricsDS is fully featured and is also very easy to use and install. He finds it to be self-explanatory to use and says that their support is very good.

    Zapier is a tool for primarily non-technical users to connect together web apps.

    An integration between two apps is called a Zap. A Zap is made up of a Trigger and one or more Actions or Searches.

    Whenever the trigger happens in one app, Zapier will automatically perform the actions or searches in another app in order.

    Zaps are very lightweight and easy to set up. Zaps do not import or export old data (they only operate on new items created after the Zap is enabled). Zaps are also not kept in sync ("two way syncing") after the Zap is triggered.

    Zaps are deceivingly simple if you're used to dealing with complex and difficult integrations. Their simplicity is what enables anyone to create them.
