Real-time data streaming has simplified transformations and kept enterprise databases synchronized
Oracle GoldenGate is good, but I would like to improve it. There is a need for whoever installs and configures Oracle GoldenGate to set the correct parameters for the use cases we need to use. In some cases, we had performance problems related to the streaming because there was a lot of information to stream concurrently. However, you can tune Oracle GoldenGate to use more RAM on the source side or more processes. I think that sometimes what is missing is knowledge about the tool from the person responsible for configuration. At this moment, Oracle GoldenGate is a very good tool, and I do not know in which area we can improve it. Perhaps the debug part of the tool could be improved. In some cases, I use the utility for how Oracle GoldenGate generates messages about the statements that it streams because of bugs, and in some cases, it is not very user-friendly. It may be possible to improve the API or the path related to debugging, but not the tool itself. The tool itself is good. I remember that in some configurations, we had problems with the streaming of DDL, which are changes to Oracle object structures such as tables and procedures. A new feature could be to perform streaming for operational objects such as procedures, functions, packages, or grants. This would synchronize source and target for these aspects, not only for data or the main types of structures, but also for others. I remember that there was some configuration in which you performed the streaming of the entire schema, or if you performed streaming for only tables, then you were unable to stream grants and other Oracle objects. I think it is important to introduce that capability.

Pros

"The most valuable features are that is easy to install and it is user-friendly."
"It's a good product that is user-friendly and easy to manage, and I would recommend it to others."
"DBMoto was very simple to set up and move our tables to the Oracle DB."
"DBMoto was very simple to set up and move our tables to the Oracle DB."
"It allows us to migrate from one system to another, from one server to another, with no downtime, no outage."
"You can put data together from a few databases into one database or the other way, from one database into several, and it transforms data in real-time."
"Oracle GoldenGate has helped maintain synchronized databases across multiple platforms in my enterprise."
"One feature that stands out for me is the data center capability."
"We can replicate data across different data centers and different technologies."
"The product's microservice architecture is scalable."
"It scales well. You can either have it working in with the databases, or you can move it outside. It's got the ability to parallelize up, so you can certainly extract and replay the data from your databases in parallel. So it does have horizontal scalability. That is probably one of its stronger features, the ability just to automatically parallelize the replay and playing of data to allow to scale to large volumes."
"Oracle GoldenGate is a stable solution because a lot of my customers use it and it doesn't hang."
 

Cons

"This product would be improved with additional built-in functions for simpler date conversion, as well as for data type transformations."

"Pricing is an area that needs improvement."

"For Oracle GoldenGate, customers face challenges with patching, the latest updates, and encountering bugs."
"The process of transforming the data between two different databases is inefficient and needs to be improved."
"There is room for improvement in Oracle GoldenGate's pricing, which is a bit high."
"I find the user interface to be difficult for non-technical people."
"The solution costs a lot."
"Regarding improvements, the focus should be on addressing data quality issues and minimizing delays, particularly in Oracle databases. The technical support should be improved as well. Additionally, in terms of features, it would be great if the solution could support APIs. The support is not friendly. They don’t respond on time."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice
