Data replication becomes seamless but configuration demands flexibility

Pros

"Oracle GoldenGate Cloud Service is valued for its ability to replicate data in real-time, offering significant benefits from a data perspective."

Cons

"Pricing is rather expensive. Oracle typically prices on the higher side, and there is scope for them to reconsider the price, especially since it is a cloud service."

What is our primary use case?

Our primary use case for Oracle GoldenGate Cloud Service is to replicate data to a backup site. Previously, we had an on-premises server, and we had to take the backups ourselves. Now, with GoldenGate on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, it becomes very easy for us to replicate the data, and Oracle takes care of everything.

What is most valuable?

Oracle GoldenGate Cloud Service is valued for its ability to replicate data in real-time, offering significant benefits from a data perspective. Oracle is ahead of its competition in terms of data connectivity and data replication. From our perspective, the tool is very useful for data replication, making it easier to bring up the backup site quickly, which is crucial for critical applications.

Offers reliable data management and simple to use but requires more intuitive configuration

Pros

"It provides a good response for external microservices applications. "

Cons

"Over the past four to five years, I have experienced many problems when opening support requests."

What is our primary use case?

Today, for my customer, I am not deploying objects or use cases with AI. For example, I just followed a course on AI foundation on OCI. I know a little about some potential things that OCI's AI can help me do, however, I am not very experienced with it. Currently, I am not using AI in my use case, so I do not know how to answer this.

What is most valuable?

The infrastructures or extra data with its computational power, CPU, and storage help my customers by giving them the possibility to deploy their use cases and manage a lot of flowing data. It provides a good response for external microservices applications. 

Oracle Database generally guarantees a good response for customer use cases. In this way, I think that Oracle GoldenGate and Oracle Cloud OCI are helpful overall.

A cost-effective and easy-to-use tool that needs to introduce AI features

Pros

"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."

Cons

"Oracle GoldenGate Cloud Service lacks AI. If AI gets introduced in Oracle GoldenGate Cloud Service, it would be much easier to do analysis."

What is our primary use case?

My company's clients use the solution as a regular backup from the production to the UAT instance. Suppose a product user wants to do certain calculations somewhere else, then they can do it with Oracle GoldenGate Cloud Service instead of doing it directly in the production environment. People usually use Oracle GoldenGate Cloud Service for multiple analyses of data and other related technologies.

What is most valuable?

Oracle GoldenGate Cloud Service is easy to use, and currently, it has become more easy to understand compared to its previous version. Opting for an on-premises tool is something for which we have to spend money, but Oracle GoldenGate Cloud Service offers services in a very cost-effective manner.

Features like getting the backup of a system or making any updates are areas that are much easier to handle. It is a tool that you can directly move from production to UAT, after which you can make your changes and move it back to production if everything is fine, and that too without any downtime.

How has it helped my organization?

We are heavily involved with GitHub for managing repositories, automatic deployments, and inner source projects.

It is a powerful tool for integrating environments with many types of data and sources
