Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Informatica, Oracle and others in Data Integration."The most valuable features of Oracle GoldenGate are the schema application and performance."
"It is a scalable solution."
"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 solution provides us with real-time replication and it does not affect the performance of other operations, which is very important to us."
"They've recently improved the ease of implementation."
"Ease of installation, maintenance and powerful outputs and supporting Big Data and Cloud environment as well as OGGCS (Oracle Golden Gate Cloud Service)."
"The initial setup is straightforward. It doesn't take too much time or effort to implement the solution."
"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."
"Its dashboards are most valuable. The drill-down of the dashboards is useful."
"The tool is a SaaS product where I just need to type a URL and start with the design process. I can integrate all elements of source control like GitHub, GitLab, etc. The tool also supports authentication-related provisions like SSH."
"I consider the solution very scalable."
"Microservices Architecture is not user-friendly."
"The solution is quite costly, and if they could reduce their pricing, it would be more economical to implement."
"There are a lot of bugs in the solution."
"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."
"Oracle GoldenGate's installation is not user-friendly, we had to read a lot of documentation for the setup and configuration."
"Oracle GoldenGate can enhance its functionality by enabling the merging of multiple migrations into one."
"Oracle GoldenGate could improve the price."
"The solution's performance needs improvement."
"Some customizations of the dashboard, such as having backup reports, would be useful."
"There's no reporting with this tool, and there really should be. They should add that into future releases."
"The software does not support webhooks. It doesn't support advanced versions of APIs. The tool also doesn't support advanced versions of specifications. The change that we do in one part of the model is not reflected throughout the specification. There are also some mutations in the clones. I am not able to do a local source control with the product as well."
