Find out in this report how the two Cloud Data Integration solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI.
I advocate using Glue in such cases.
I would rate AWS support eight out of ten because they are technically strong and helpful in debugging complex Glue and cloud issues, and they are very responsive.
AWS's documentation is reliable, and careful reference often resolves missed upgrade details.
The rating for Oracle GoldenGate support is a three.
The support team responds quickly, providing feedback which we then implement.
It can easily handle data from one terabyte to 100 terabytes or more, scaling nicely with larger datasets.
For jobs requiring multiple RAM usage, we increase the number of workers accordingly.
It effectively manages larger databases, such as those of 15 terabytes and above.
As a managed service, it reduces management burdens.
Oracle GoldenGate is quite stable.
With AWS, I gather data from multiple sources, clean it up, normalize it, de-duplicate it, and make it presentable.
Migrating jobs from version 3.0 to 4.0 can present compatibility issues.
A more user-friendly and simpler process would help speed up the deployment process.
The configuration process could be made simpler.
For Oracle GoldenGate, customers face challenges with patching, the latest updates, and encountering bugs.
AWS charges based on runtime, which can be quite pricey.
Costing depends on resource usage, and cost optimization may involve redesigning jobs for flexibility.
The smallest cost for a project is around €700, while the largest can reach up to €7,000 based on the scale of the usage.
The list price is high, and the price can sometimes seem expensive if the appropriate discount is not applied.
The pricing of Oracle GoldenGate is quite high.
AWS Glue has reduced efforts by 60%, which is the main benefit.
AWS Glue's most valuable features include its transformation capabilities, which provide data quality and shape for processing in ML or AI models.
For ETL, I feel the performance is excellent. If I create jobs in a standard way, the performance is great, and maintenance is also seamless.
Oracle GoldenGate is beneficial for data replication and ensures secure data transport.
The ability to sync data in real time is a key feature I rely on.
AWS Glue is a serverless cloud data integration tool that facilitates the discovery, preparation, movement, and integration of data from multiple sources for machine learning (ML), analytics, and application development. The solution includes additional productivity and data ops tooling for running jobs, implementing business workflows, and authoring.
AWS Glue allows users to connect to more than 70 diverse data sources and manage data in a centralized data catalog. The solution facilitates visual creation, running, and monitoring of extract, transform, and load (ETL) pipelines to load data into users' data lakes. This Amazon product seamlessly integrates with other native applications of the brand and allows users to search and query cataloged data using Amazon EMR, Amazon Athena, and Amazon Redshift Spectrum.
The solution also utilizes application programming interface (API) operations to transform users' data, create runtime logs, store job logic, and create notifications for monitoring job runs. The console of AWS Glue connects all of these services into a managed application, facilitating the monitoring and operational processes. The solution also performs provisioning and management of the resources required to run users' workloads in order to minimize manual work time for organizations.

Reviews from Real Users
Mustapha A., a cloud data engineer at Jems Groupe, likes AWS Glue because it is a product that is great for serverless data transformations.
Liana I., CEO at Quark Technologies SRL, describes AWS Glue as a highly scalable, reliable, and beneficial pay-as-you-go pricing model.
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:

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."
