We performed a comparison between Informatica PowerExchange 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."The agentless RCDC enablement through PowerExchange is a great idea and has worked very well so far."
"The main benefit of PowerExchange is its native real-time capabilities. Competing tools are counting on third-party packages or Oracle to offer real-time capabilities. However, Informatica has a native ability to scan the data on the file system level and capture the changes almost instantly when I push it to the consumers. The solution has a powerful built-in replication engine."
"The product’s flexibility is valuable."
"The data transformation is the solution's most valuable feature."
"Mainstream integration and real-time integration are the best features."
"From the product feature or product capability perspective, the aspects around integration, transformation, and standardization are valuable. It's fairly easy to use. It has a GUI-based interface."
"This product is easy to install and it can be done in a few hours."
"The most valuable feature is connectivity to data sources."
"Since the world is going towards open source, the solution's heterogeneous data migration feature is very useful."
"The CDC feature is interesting."
"It is quite scalable."
"The product is reliable for data integrity."
"The replication of the data table is one of the best features."
"This is a powerful solution provided by one of the most respected companies in the computer industry."
"I like that the product transforms data and provides real-time applications."
"It's very simple to configure, it's very simple to implement. In addition, the ability it has to capture data and transmit it with incredible speed is better than any of the product out there. It's extremely powerful."
"The product's high costs can be an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The one place where it could be improved is definitely pricing. That's a very big problem. It depends product to product, but pricing is an issue."
"Apache Spark has a machine learning algorithm, an area where Informatica PowerExchange lacks."
"The connectivity with T24 core banking could be improved."
"Real-time has not been enhanced that much over the past few years. There has not been as many features added like they did before."
"Technical support can be improved with respect to delays in ticket response time."
"V10.2 is very stable, but we are still struggling to make V10.5 stable. We found services that were down, and PowerExchange stopped working."
"They should make it quick and easy for use of citizen data integration or for people or integrators developing at the customer side. They could be development teams within the business team. For them, the product owners can consider making it a little bit more seamless and a little bit more democratized."
"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 GoldenGate license is very costly."
"Microservices Architecture is not user-friendly."
"I find the user interface to be difficult for non-technical people."
"Additional performance metrics should be added and visible in a dashboard, displayed in a detailed manner."
"In the future, I would appreciate a more user-friendly monitoring interface for easier management and troubleshooting."
"It should be easier to integrate this solution with non-Oracle databases, including cloud-based solutions hosted on Azure."
"You cannot put everything in Golden Gate for the license and large models."
