Aditi Bhardwaj - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides an ease of access and an automated mapping feature
We need help with large data migrations. It only works well for a few thousand records or less than a million records. Above that, we need to look for alternative solutions. They could provide automated transformation or mapping features around 10 to 15 independent data objects. We could have a default mark or limit of free usage for standard objects. It will be helpful. Additionally, we can have more integrations with large data volumes as we need a lot of exercises to handle the files in case of complex sites.
ShahidNadeem - PeerSpot reviewer
Handles migrations well and has reduced our downtime
For small databases that are less than a terabyte, GoldenGate handles the migration well. You don't need much input so long as the processes don't upend. As soon as there's a problem, then, obviously, you need to diagnose it. It all depends on the scenario, on the size of the databases, whether you're doing schema replication, or table replication. We normally do the whole database, taking everything across. Finally, because this is an Oracle product, there is support available 24/7.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I find DataLoader's ability to easily integrate with external keys valuable, which is a bit more challenging with DBM."
"he product’s most valuable feature is ease of access."
"DataLoader is cost-effective since it is free."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle GoldenGate is its ability to sync data in real-time, which is crucial for me."
"CDC is the most valuable feature."
"What I like most about Oracle GoldenGate is that it supports cross-platform migrations. For example, Oracle GoldenGate could pump data from one type of system to another such as the data from Oracle DB to SQL Db2."
"The initial setup is straightforward. It doesn't take too much time or effort to implement the solution."
"The product's microservice architecture is scalable."
"Oracle GoldenGate features work fine, which is what I like about it. I also like that it's scalable, easy to set up, and has good technical support."
"Since the world is going towards open source, the solution's heterogeneous data migration feature is very useful."
 

Cons

"We need help with large data migrations. It only works well for a few thousand records or less than a million records."
"Dataloader has limitations, including constraints with file sizes and transactions. Additionally, at times it can be slow, and when integrating DBM, we find it more complex than Dataloader."
"DataLoader has limitations, including constraints with file sizes and transactions."
"The product lacks some features and it's expensive."
"The tool's connections are disconnected at times. The tool needs to integrate other databases."
"In some cases, expectations were not met, especially when specific tables were expected to be disabled, and changes were anticipated in the target environment. We had to take backups from the source and refresh the address to address this."
"Troubleshooting issues is not always the easiest. It should be easier to troubleshoot. Their support can also be improved. They don't read your problem statement and waste a lot of time. GoldenGate for big data is actually a separate license. It is sort of a separate product, but it might fall underneath your GoldenGate category. If we're talking about big data, its interaction with big data sources is poorly documented."
"Technical support for Oracle products needs to be more efficient (at least locally in Egypt)."
"The solution is quite costly, and if they could reduce their pricing, it would be more economical to implement."
"The solution costs a lot."
"For Oracle GoldenGate, customers face challenges with patching, the latest updates, and encountering bugs."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is inexpensive and economical."
"The solution is highly-priced."
"The solution would be costly for a small organization."
"It is an expensive product."
"The licensing model should be improved to be more cost-effective for the end users."
"The price of Oracle GoldenGate should be lowered. It is expensive compared to other solutions."
"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."
"Licensing for Oracle GoldenGate is paid yearly."
"The price of this solution is good."
