We performed a comparison between Oracle GoldenGate and SAP Data Services based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."GoldenGate can connect and collect data from multiple sources, such as SQL Server."
"What I have found the most valuable about GoldenGate is that it does real-time and no-downtime migrations. Its migrations are fast. There are not many tools like it on the marketplace."
"Ease of installation, maintenance and powerful outputs and supporting Big Data and Cloud environment as well as OGGCS (Oracle Golden Gate Cloud Service)."
"It is quite scalable."
"The product's microservice architecture is scalable."
"Data migration is the most valuable feature of Oracle GoldenGate."
"Since the world is going towards open source, the solution's heterogeneous data migration feature is very useful."
"When we are replicating data between similar databases then it is straightforward."
"Data Services' best features are its robustness and plug-and-play integration with other SAP applications."
"The feature of SAP Data Services has enhanced our company's business processes because we are able to run around 800 jobs in areas like data extraction and transaction objects."
"The most valuable feature of SAP Data Services is the integration with data sources."
"It's easy to understand and deploy. It's easy to create new applications, and depending on the complexity of the application, it is easy to deploy the new requirements."
"The solution offers very good integration capabilities."
"The fact that it's built on SQL, it makes it easy to write code. The database and the connection are quite smooth."
"I appreciate having access to the SAP data."
"I have worked with Data Services for a long time, and currently, I find the dashboarding and reporting part to be the most valuable function."
"The tool's connections are disconnected at times. The tool needs to integrate other databases."
"The solution, in general, should be easier to use, with less need to perform workarounds within the system."
"Some issues regarding stability need to be resolved."
"Additional performance metrics should be added and visible in a dashboard, displayed in a detailed manner."
"Troubleshooting issues is not always the easiest. It should be easier to troubleshoot. Their support can also be improved. They don't read your problem statement and waste a lot of time. GoldenGate for big data is actually a separate license. It is sort of a separate product, but it might fall underneath your GoldenGate category. If we're talking about big data, its interaction with big data sources is poorly documented."
"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."
"Some of the jobs that are built within Data Services require local files, and during initial deployment, those local files cannot be transported between machines simply because of security issues."
"We would like the different tools offered within this solution to be available as standalone entities, rather than having to purchase the entire package when we only require a few features."
"It would be nice if this solution was a bit easier to move from development to production."
"I want some more business intelligence applications. People need to know more and more about data, including the transformation rules, etc. Informatica is a better product for data cataloging. SAP should update the data catalog."
"In the future, Data Services should offer a cloud version."
"It's an ETL that is very good with relational databases but not as good with files and semi-structured files."
"At the integration level, there could be certain set of improvement to connect to various other systems."
"The solution could improve the overall features. There is a lot that can be done in the solution, therefor there are areas where it can improve. Additionally, there is a need to make it easier for one to create connections to other non-SAP systems. The flexibility to connect to other non-SAP systems is needed."
