We performed a comparison between IBM InfoSphere DataStage 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."Finding logs is very easy on the solution."
"When we have needed help from the IBM team, they were helpful. Our company is a premium partner so we get fast responses."
"Compared to other ETL tools, DataStage has excellent debugging and development capabilities. And the availability of connectors, even though we sometimes have to opt for specific ones. Also, the availability of patches is good."
"It is quite useful and powerful."
"IBM is stable and accurate to monitor. It's easy to understand to monitor the data lineage from source to target."
"The solution has improved the time it takes to perform tasks related to batch applications."
"Highly customizable: Allowing you to handle multiple data latencies (scheduled batch, on-demand, and real-time) in the same job."
"It's a robust solution."
"With Oracle GoldenGate, you can easily sync the tables and put them into the ODS database."
"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."
"The live application feature is most valuable. The solution is stable. I rate it a seven out of ten."
"Many of the features of Oracle GoldenGate are valuable. We use Oracle databases and this tool is from Oracle, making it have superior compatibility."
"It works best with Oracle."
"It is quite scalable."
"Since the world is going towards open source, the solution's heterogeneous data migration feature is very useful."
"CDC is the most valuable feature."
"The graphical user interface (GUI) feels a lot like the interfaces from the 1980s."
"The initial setup can be complex."
"There are three things that could improve - the cloud, monitoring and cloud integration. It's a solid product but not a modern one and of course it depends what you're looking for."
"The interface needs improvement."
"Currently lacking virtualization ability."
"The template mapping could be easier."
"Reduced cost would allow more customers to choose the product. It's quite expensive in relation to the cost of other similar solutions."
"Working with some of the big data components is good, but I can see improvements are needed."
"The GoldenGate license is very costly."
"GoldenGate is expensive. It's costly because this solution is unique in our market. The GoldenGate Cloud Service is cheaper than the on-premise solution."
"The solution's performance needs improvement."
"The solution needs to improve its latency, monitoring and support."
"The process of transforming the data between two different databases is inefficient and needs to be improved."
"Oracle GoldenGate's installation is not user-friendly, we had to read a lot of documentation for the setup and configuration."
"A clean and user-friendly graphical interface based on common design principles would be beneficial."
"The solution, in general, should be easier to use, with less need to perform workarounds within the system."
