Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Oracle GoldenGate helps to select and target specific tables for replication. Any changes or operations on those tables are immediately reflected in the source and target environments.""It is a scalable 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.""It works best with Oracle.""The most valuable feature is data replication capability.""The product's microservice architecture is 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.""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."

More Oracle GoldenGate Pros →

"Very sophisticated routing control and priority messaging capabilities""It's super easy to deploy and it also supports different languages and analytics.""Scalability is simple because it's an MPP database. If you need more processing power or you need more storage, you just add a few more nodes in the cluster. It works on common commodity hardware. You can use any type of server. You don't need to have proprietary hardware. It's fairly flexible.""Tanzu Greenplum's most valuable features include the integration of modern data science approaches across an MPP platform.""It works very well with large database queries.""It's one of the fastest databases in the market. It's easy to use. From a maintenance perspective it's a good product. The segmentation, or architecture of the product is different than other databases such as Oracle. So even in 10 years, the data distribution for such segments will not affect other segments. The query performance of the product, for complex queries, is very good. It has good integration with Hadoop.""I like the high throughput of 20K messages/sec, and that it supports multiple protocols.""The stability of this solution was very good."

Cons
"The main problem of Oracle GoldenGate is that sometimes, the processes get abended. Data consistency is also challenging.""Oracle GoldenGate's installation is not user-friendly, we had to read a lot of documentation for the setup and configuration.""Microservices Architecture is not user-friendly.""The solution costs a lot.""There are a lot of bugs in the solution.""In the future, I would appreciate a more user-friendly monitoring interface for easier management and troubleshooting.""The process of transforming the data between two different databases is inefficient and needs to be improved.""The solution's licensing price is very expensive and could be made more competitive."

More Oracle GoldenGate Cons →

"VMware Tanzu Greenplum needs improvement in the memory area and improved methods for quick access to the disc. So, one of the quick goals of Greenplum must work on enhancing access to the disc by adding hints in the database.""The availability could be better.""If you're outside IP address range, the clustering no longer has all the features which is problematic.""Lacks sufficient inbuilt machine-learning functions for complex use cases.""Extra filters would be helpful.""It will be very useful if we could communicate with other database types from Greenplum (using a database link).""The product has to improve the crisis management, especially in memory issues.""It doesn't have any GUI-based monitoring tools."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The one feature that I think Oracle could perhaps consider is, at the moment, the Veridata option is an extra cost. Golden Gate is an expensive product. You pay a lot for the best. But not including the Veridata license to prove that everything is working correctly... The big improvement for me would be to have that license built in. That would take it to the next level. That would make it a much better product. You may want to look at buying term licenses if you've just got a single migration to do. In that situation, you might want a term license for perhaps a year to save a lot of money, rather than buying a perpetual license."
  • "The licensing model should be improved to be more cost-effective for the end users."
  • "We do like the price of this solution."
  • "Pricing is based on anual licensing with additional costs for support packages."
  • "The price of this solution is good."
  • "We have an enterprise license for it. It might be for three years or so. I'm not aware of any additional costs to the standard licensing fee."
  • "Its price can be better. It is a bit crazy, and its licensing is very difficult to understand. I would rate it one out of five in terms of pricing. There don't seem to be any additional costs."
  • "We have purchased corporate licensing to use Oracle GoldenGate."

  • "The pricing is okay."
  • "It is the best product with best fit for price/performance customer objectives."
  • "Pricing is good compared to other products. It's fine."
  • "This is an open source solution."
  • "We are using the open-source version of this solution."
  • "are using the open-source version, which can be used free of cost."
  • "The pricing for RabbitMQ is reasonable. It is worth the cost."
  • "On a scale of one to five, with five being the most competitive pricing, I would rate this solution as a four."

    Overview

    Oracle GoldenGate is a real-time data integration and database replication solution. It can detect data events and route them across networks at very low latencies and integrates well with 100s of combinations of non-Oracle databases, data stores, and clouds.

    Oracle GoldenGate Features

    Oracle GoldenGate has many valuable key features, including:

    • Simple to use web interface
    • Fast and easy installation or provisioning
    • Command line access via AdminClient that can run anywhere
    • RESTful APIs for DevOps
    • Offers built-in monitoring but also can be easily adapted to roll your own monitoring
    • APIs are protected by Cross Site Request Forgery (CSRF) authentication.

    Oracle GoldenGate Benefits

    Some of the benefits of using Oracle GoldenGate include:

    • Oracle GoldenGate is deeply integrated with the Oracle Database (logging, redo, backup and recovery layer, security, administration, data guard, data vault, autonomous database etc.).

    • It is the most stable, performant, and reliable CDC / replication solution for Oracle.

    • High performance: Oracle GoldenGate is capable of sub-second latency for data movement. featuring low impact capture, routing, transformation, and delivery of transactional data.

    • GoldenGate is the only CDC / replication tool that keeps pace with new and emerging innovations (security, features, data types, etc) in the core Oracle Database.

    • The solution supports a wide range of use cases, from conventional OLTP data replication and high availability to data lake ingestion or multi-cloud ingestion, SaaS application replication, and messaging replication.
    • GoldenGate is the only CDC / replication technology certified for Exadata, Exadata Cloud Service, and Exadata Cloud at Customer.

    • For fault-tolerance, GoldenGate has its own mechanism to keep track of how much work is completed and how much is pending. This mechanism is independent of any database and ensures, with the help of automatic gap-resolution, that no data loss occurs.

    • GoldenGate uses its own proprietary format files for keeping the committed data coming from the source database, making it independently functional irrespective of the database in use.

    • To maintain the performance and consistency, only committed data is sent. Uncommitted data is captured by GoldenGate, but is discarded after receiving a Rollback.

    • With GoldenGate, data sending is in “near real time,” which reduces the possibility of latency.

    Reviews from Real Users

    Below are some reviews and helpful feedback written by Oracle GoldenGate users.

    PeerSpot user Steve-J., Cloud Migration Software Consultant - UK & EMEA at 1PLACE, says, "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."

    Pinak S., Senior Manager of System and Database at ESL, mentions, “We like how in GoldenGate the heterogeneous database is supported. Sometimes the client actually needs a schedule and needs to ensure the state of databases for reporting purposes. With that in mind, we have been able to configure GoldenGate for certain schema. The solution is quite stable. They've recently improved the ease of implementation.”

    A Database Administrator at a manufacturing company explains, "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."

    An Oracle ERP DBA Consultant - Oracle Super Cluster T5-8 Admin at a government comments, "GoldenGate can connect and collect data from multiple sources, such as SQL Server."
