We performed a comparison between Informatica Cloud Data Integration and Oracle GoldenGate based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud Data Integration solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Data synchronization tasks."
"The most valuable feature of Informatica Cloud Data Integration is Pushback. You are able to push the data to the solution itself, and it can handle the queries. It helps us a lot. With other tools, the burden is kept on the server."
"It is quite easy to use and flexible."
"Their new licensing is very flexible. With Informatica Cloud, you have plenty of items under the same umbrella, such as services, offerings, data quality, and data masking. You have also got master data management and API management. What I really like about them is that you don't need to go to Informatica and say that you need a data integration module. You would say that you need iPaaS or Informatica Cloud. They'll then try to understand your needs and give you IPUs, which are the processing units. If I purchased a hundred IPUs from Informatica as a customer, I can use 70 IPUs for data integration. I would also need data quality, so I can use 10 IPUs for data quality. I can use the remaining 20 IPUs for API management. Down the line, if I see that my initial data integration needs for the development phase are met, then out of the 70 IPUs assigned for data integration, I can use 30 IPUs for data masking. I can shuffle these numbers in any way within the Informatica Cloud umbrella for the tenure for which I have subscribed to these IPUs. I can use all services the way I want. This flexibility is what I really love about Informatica. It also has got good connectors."
"The most valuable features of the solution are pushdown, optimization, and partitioning, which can be used for frequent data loading, especially when we have a huge data volume in our company."
"We have a lot of integrations, and it's very easy to create integrations. They have a lot of connectors."
"The solution is straightforward."
"The program is stable and scalable."
"The initial setup is straightforward. It doesn't take too much time or effort to implement the solution."
"The replication of the data table is one of the best features."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The solution's existing SaaS platform for data integration gives us an edge."
"The most valuable features of Oracle GoldenGate are the schema application and performance."
"The product is reliable for data integrity."
"For small databases, GoldenGate handles the migration well."
"It works best with Oracle."
"The cloud version of the Informatica, it's a very substandard product. They might say it's enterprise-ready but it's not at all ready. They need to add more features, such as improved data replication features. If you look at other tools, such as Matillion they are now cloud-native and flexible. Additionally, Informatica Cloud Data Integration should have a good migration strategy from Informatica PowerCenter to Informatica Cloud Data Integration."
"Connectivity could be improved, it can be a little slow."
"User/group administration could use improvement."
"Certain shortcomings in the product's UI make it an area where improvements are required."
"I would also like to have profiling functionalities and quality transformations in the cloud."
"With the solution, we had some issues, and we have every day, and we used to open a ticket. Sometimes, there are data issues and transformation issues."
"Certain applications are not being synced with the ION."
"I would like to see support for more data sources."
"The tool's connections are disconnected at times. The tool needs to integrate other databases."
"Microservices Architecture is not user-friendly."
"It's stable but you have to know how to maintain it. That's why it's not 10 out of 10 for me. There are some bugs, there are some issues here and there. All of a sudden your process is not working and you have to figure out why, and sometimes it's not so clear."
"It would be great if Oracle added some enhanced features or more functionalities to Oracle GoldenGate."
"A clean and user-friendly graphical interface based on common design principles would be beneficial."
"The solution's performance needs improvement."
"The main problem of Oracle GoldenGate is that sometimes, the processes get abended. Data consistency is also challenging."
"The solution, in general, should be easier to use, with less need to perform workarounds within the system."
