Syncs data in real-time while managing transaction volumes
The most valuable feature of Oracle GoldenGate is its ability to sync data in real-time, which is crucial for me. I set it to a master-master pluggable database that serves as a container used from clones to provide test environments for various teams. This makes it very effective in managing high-volume transactions. The ability to sync data in real time is a key feature I rely on.
Amit-Rastogi - PeerSpot reviewer
Handles large volumes of data with ease, but the self-service portal must be more user-friendly
My advice depends on an organization’s needs. If an organization has a large volume of data, Delphix is a good choice. It is robust and very efficient with large volumes of data and different kinds of databases. If someone is looking for a one-stop solution with all features and capabilities, they must consider a different tool. Overall, I rate the product a six or seven out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product's initial setup phase was very simple."
"When we are replicating data between similar databases then it is straightforward."
"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."
"CDC is the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle GoldenGate is its cost-effectiveness compared to other solutions like Oracle Data Guard, especially for Oracle-to-non-Oracle replication scenarios."
"Since the world is going towards open source, the solution's heterogeneous data migration feature is very useful."
"Oracle GoldenGate is beneficial for data replication and ensures secure data transport."
"The live application feature is most valuable. The solution is stable. I rate it a seven out of ten."
"Delphix's technical support is fairly knowledgeable."
"It is a stable solution."
"It provides the ability to roll back to a point in time or roll forward without the assistance of a DBA."
"Delphix can do data masking in any format. Not many solutions can do that."
"Data being available anytime is a life changer."
"Delphix interfaces are simple to use and very user friendly."
"The product is efficient in handling large volumes of data."
"Delphix's data distribution is powerful. It's easy to distribute data with this solution. The main advantage of Delphix is that it generates copies of data."
 

Cons

"There are a lot of bugs in the solution."
"Lacks the ability to become a full-scale ETL tool."
"The process of transforming the data between two different databases is inefficient and needs to be improved."
"We struggle with memory. It's limited. However, it may be because of our unique business case and how we use it that it's limiting for us."
"Technical support for Oracle products needs to be more efficient (at least locally in Egypt)."
"A clean and user-friendly graphical interface based on common design principles would be beneficial."
"Microservices Architecture is not user-friendly."
"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."
"The solution's price needs improvement."
"My only complaint about this solution is the price."
"Could be improved with richer reporting capabilities."
"One thing I would like to see improved is the unusual error messages we receive and some slowness we have while we are updating."
"It would be good if any CI/CD and DevOps-aligned feature could be triggered through the DevOps pipeline."
"Delphix could be improved with better usability and an agentless option."
"As a commercial model, it's very good. However, maybe it would be nice for Delphix to integrate with some other platforms."
"Delphix is quite expensive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Pricing is based on anual licensing with additional costs for support packages."
"The tool needs to improve its pricing."
"The price of Oracle GoldenGate should be lowered. It is expensive compared to other solutions."

"The cost is $370K annually for the Delphix Masking Engine and Delphix Virtualization Engine."
"It is an expensive solution."
"The solution's pricing was reasonable and lower than one million."
"Delphix's pricing is affordable."
"I would say the price is a little high but affordable for our needs."
