We performed a comparison between Fivetran and Oracle GoldenGate based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Data Integration solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."For us, Fivetran has been able to scale both in terms of the data we bring into our warehouse and the amount of data that we use as well."
"The product is very easy to use and very easy to configure."
"Making the decision to implement Fivetran was supported by the fact that they have better connectors than other competitors."
"Fivetran can perform data migration incredibly fast, depending on the source and target."
"The compare feature is the most valuable piece of it."
"The general data ingestion is valuable. It's used for a lot of data. It provides about 90% of the data we use in our data warehouse without needing data engineering."
"The simplicity of the solution is its valuable feature."
"Fivetran is remarkably easy to use; I haven't encountered any other data integration tool that is as user-friendly."
"One feature that stands out for me is the data center capability."
"You can put data together from a few databases into one database or the other way, from one database into several. It transforms data in real-time."
"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."
"It is a scalable solution."
"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."
"The product is reliable for data integrity."
"Ease of installation, maintenance and powerful outputs and supporting Big Data and Cloud environment as well as OGGCS (Oracle Golden Gate Cloud Service)."
"Since the world is going towards open source, the solution's heterogeneous data migration feature is very useful."
"The solution is very expensive. I would like to have a better integration of the solution with Azure."
"The environment must be more development-friendly."
"Some of the pain points we're looking at are trying to integrate some of the items in the Microsoft stack, so SharePoint and Excel, and then some of the newer Azure services."
"We experience cost issues because Fivetran is charged on a usage basis. When you reach a certain level, the tool should focus on reducing the costs. The solution is expensive when you are moving gigabytes and petabytes of data. It should also focus more on REST APIs and webhooks."
"Fivetran should add more connectors because its competitors, like Airbyte, have more connectors."
"I would like for them to incorporate additional transformations. A valuable aspect of the product is that it does inflight transformations and that could be expanded."
"Fivetran is very expensive for data sources with a lot of rows, such as email data. I would like to see cheaper pricing for data sources like that."
"More connectors are needed for exotic, popular, and rising star portals."
"Technical support for Oracle products needs to be more efficient (at least locally in Egypt)."
"Oracle GoldenGate's installation is not user-friendly, we had to read a lot of documentation for the setup and configuration."
"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."
"It would be better for Oracle Golden Gate Studio GUI to include other licensed products (i.e. Veridata or others)."
"A clean and user-friendly graphical interface based on common design principles would be beneficial."
"IBM CDC has one central control while Oracle GoldenGate has two controls. In IBM CDC we can do all things in frontend. The solution needs to incorporate a feature where we can connect it to a standby database."
"The solution, in general, should be easier to use, with less need to perform workarounds within the system."
"Monitoring must be a bit more enhanced."
