Emmanuel Catalano - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers reliable data management and simple to use but requires more intuitive configuration
I am not very happy with Oracle Support. Over the past four to five years, I have experienced many problems when opening support requests. A lot of the time, the support asks the same questions repeatedly, which takes time. Usually, I solve my issue myself before they give me solutions. It seems like they do not really understand my problem, even if I translate what I want to say from Italian with tools like Google Translate. Sometimes it is very difficult to communicate with them. We have some Oracle support staff in Italy whom I can reach directly, which helps, but there seems to be a problem with the support requests. It is also an issue when different Oracle representatives handle my request at different times and ask me to explain the problem again despite it being written in the support request. This makes it very frustrating. Additionally, issues arise with product understanding. For example, in dedicated infrastructure, the Oracle staff handling the support request may not be familiar with the product or suggest solutions suitable for other infrastructures but not mine. Oracle Support should know the solutions that fit my infrastructure since they manage it, not me.

Building impactful organizational KPIs with ease and precision
Stability is rated at 10. One other important aspect I appreciate is that SSAS is included in the base installation of SQL Server. Obviously, it requires installation, but it is readily available, which is a major strength. It's all about setting it up, configuring it, and then using it. If there are additional costs associated with it or separating it as a second product, that would be a disadvantage. The area of improvement is really in education. Microsoft is trying to push everything as a Power BI solution or trying to get people to solve the problems which are solved with SSAS in another space in Power BI, or in Power Pivot, is not enough. There's not enough marketing, conversation, and support around that space. As a result, we end up with people not understanding that you need to build your models correctly, and then they try to model everything inside of Power BI, or another visualization tool, without first building the data model. That leads people to consider alternate solutions because SAP and others argue that their whole thing is in memory, and they disseminate misleading information. Additionally, what would be very helpful is local user group developments, so getting people around the table and teaching them how to use it. That is the biggest problem; it's not the technology itself. The challenge lies in Microsoft withdrawing a lot of the qualifications and watering down its emphasis, leading to a perception that this is supposed to be an elite product.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Oracle Database generally guarantees a good response for customer use cases."
"Oracle GoldenGate Cloud Service is valued for its ability to replicate data in real-time, offering significant benefits from a data perspective."
"GoldenGate can aggregate various data types from different sources."
"It provides a good response for external microservices applications."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"GoldenGate's best features are the desktop security features."
"This has significantly eased the process of migration from on-premise to cloud. Instead of configuring everything from the ground up, the Oracle GoldenGate Cloud Service has made it seamless to build and render databases in cloud."
"We are heavily involved with GitHub for managing repositories, automatic deployments, and inner source projects."
"I have used most of the standard SQL features, but the ones that stand out are the Data Flows and Bulk Import."
"The most valuable feature of SSIS is that you can take data from other servers which are not MS SQL Server or Oracle."
"The interface is very user-friendly."
"The main value of any Microsoft product is the ease of use. You can achieve more with less time. That's what's beneficial for me. With many competitors, you might need to spend more time coming up with a solution because you have to focus on taking care of the product."
"The performance and stability are good."
"The setup is easy to use and understand."
"Like most Microsoft products, SSIS is user-friendly and easy to use."
"The solution is stable."
 

Cons

"I am not very happy with Oracle Support. Over the past four to five years, I have experienced many problems when opening support requests."
"Support could be improved. They lack knowledge."
"Oracle is always adding new features. I can't think of anything that's urgent currently."
"Over the past four to five years, I have experienced many problems when opening support requests."
"Pricing is rather expensive. Oracle typically prices on the higher side, and there is scope for them to reconsider the price, especially since it is a cloud service."
"Oracle GoldenGate Cloud Service lacks AI. If AI gets introduced in Oracle GoldenGate Cloud Service, it would be much easier to do analysis."
"The initial setup was a little complex, and we required support from Oracle to complete it."
"More technical documentation is needed, especially in terms of mapping and conversion of data, while integration would also be very helpful."
"I would like to see more features in terms of the integration with Azure Data Factory."
"The solution could improve on integrating with other types of data sources."
"Sometimes, there are compatibility issues with some features. From time to time, I also face issues when trying to migrate. If I misconfigure things when I use Snapshot, the migration will fail.It can take a long time to migrate huge amounts of data, so it would be nice if that could be faster."
"Improvement as per customer requirements."
"We have issues with SSIS connectors while extracting data from Excel sources."
"Tuning using this solution requires extensive expertise to improve performance."
"SSIS has room for improvement, mainly because the overall package can be buggy. It often locks up, requiring a restart, which is annoying. However, since it's free, we tolerate these performance issues. I'd like to see better debugging tools in future releases and improvements in API calls; It would be helpful if SSIS had a built-in API engine so we wouldn't have to rely solely on database connections."
"It hangs a lot of the time."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the product price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"Based on my experience and understanding, Talend comes out to be a little bit expensive as compared to SSIS. The average cost of having Talend with Talend Management Console is around 72K per region, which is much higher than SSIS. SSIS works very well with Microsoft technologies, and if you have Microsoft technologies, it is not really expensive to have SSIS. If you have SQL Server, SSIS is free."
"My advice is to look at what your configuration will be because most companies have their own deals with Microsoft."
"I'm not involved in licensing details, but SSIS provides value to our organization by simplifying data management tasks."
"We purchased the standard edition of SQL Server and SSIS came with it free of charge."
"The solution is economical. You don't have to worry about the pricing as long as you're installing both services on the same server."
"This solution has provided an inexpensive tool, and it is easy to find experienced developers."
"People have to opt for a perpetual-based licensing model."
"The solution comes free of cost."
