"This solution has a well-known procedure for troubleshooting and tuning the performance, providing for smooth operation."
"The product is reliable for data integrity."
"It allows us to migrate from one system to another, from one server to another, with no downtime, no outage. We can get the data synchronized with multiple databases and then switch the connectivity across to the new servers."
"I like that the product transforms data and provides real-time applications."
"This solution would benefit from the engine being made more lightweight."
"IBM InfoSphere Information Server should be more scalable. It should have the option to change the configuration to run on a single, non-multiple node, or multi-threading processing."
"There are certain shortcomings in the cloud side of the solution, where improvements are required."
"Their technical support needs improvement."
"The problem with GoldenGate is it is very complex to use. You need heavyweight skills to use it."
"It should be easier to integrate this solution with non-Oracle databases, including cloud-based solutions hosted on Azure."
"The product is not easy to use."
"It's stable but you have to know how to maintain it. That's why it's not 10 out of 10 for me. There are some bugs, there are some issues here and there. All of a sudden your process is not working and you have to figure out why, and sometimes it's not so clear."
"Lacks the ability to become a full-scale ETL tool."
"It is not a very stable tool, and you need to monitor it perfectly."
"GoldenGate is expensive. It's costly because this solution is unique in our market. The GoldenGate Cloud Service is cheaper than the on-premise solution."
"Monitoring must be a bit more enhanced."
