Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Informatica, Oracle and others in Data Integration."GoldenGate can connect and collect data from multiple sources, such as SQL Server."
"This is a powerful solution provided by one of the most respected companies in the computer industry."
"Ease of installation, maintenance and powerful outputs and supporting Big Data and Cloud environment as well as OGGCS (Oracle Golden Gate Cloud Service)."
"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."
"The product's initial setup phase was very simple."
"CDC is the most valuable feature."
"We use the tool to pull on-prem data."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the metadata generated code."
"RED has provided us the ability to integrate, stage, and transform data from diverse sources into an enterprise-grade data warehouse which meets the needs of my organization, but it also enables us to easily and quickly make ETL or DW changes."
"Quickly develops a data warehouse for our organization with documentation and can track back/forward features."
"The tool supports multiple target update methods."
"This is a fantastically robust DW tool that will make you at least 10 times faster in producing a DW."
"RED generates comprehensive documentation and regenerates it as quickly as things changes, but it also provides impact documentation."
"Naturally produces a way to easily debug your DW data solutions."
"Support is absolutely excellent, efficient, and timely."
"The process of transforming the data between two different databases is inefficient and needs to be improved."
"The solution costs a lot."
"The solution, in general, should be easier to use, with less need to perform workarounds within the system."
"The solution is quite costly, and if they could reduce their pricing, it would be more economical to implement."
"A clean and user-friendly graphical interface based on common design principles would be beneficial."
"The solution needs to improve its latency, monitoring and support."
"It is not a very stable tool, and you need to monitor it perfectly."
"The GoldenGate license is very costly."
"The ability to execute SSIS projects within WhereScape would be nice because we have a lot of packages that are too cumbersome to recreate."
"The solution can be a little more user-friendly on enterprise-level where people use it."
"They need a more robust support center. It has been a bit difficult to find solutions to problems that are out-of-the-box."
"Customization could be better."
"Improve the object renaming ability (it works, but it could be more automated)."
"Jobs cannot be deleted via the deployment package. When deploying from dev to QA or production, a job has to be retired. The job has to be manually removed from the target environment."
"No support for change data capture or delta detection - that must be custom coded ."
"Project-based searching of data objects in the data warehouse browser needs to be improved."
