Syncs data in real-time while managing transaction volumes
The most valuable feature of Oracle GoldenGate is its ability to sync data in real-time, which is crucial for me. I set it to a master-master pluggable database that serves as a container used from clones to provide test environments for various teams. This makes it very effective in managing high-volume transactions. The ability to sync data in real time is a key feature I rely on.
Tarek Diab - PeerSpot reviewer
Real-time integration and seamless data synchronization enhance user experience
The stability of Oracle GoldenGate Cloud Service is one of its most useful features, although its performance is not too steady. It excels with bidirectional data synchronization. It supports diverse databases and platforms. We link the ODS with numerous source systems, including Oracle, Tarek Data, and Microsoft, with no integration issues. The solution caters to enterprise needs, fitting any organizational requirement, apart from data security issues common to cloud solutions. The cloud data security challenge is notable, necessitating solutions such as private cloud offerings to allay security concerns.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The initial setup is straightforward. It doesn't take too much time or effort to implement the solution."
"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 allows us to migrate from one system to another, from one server to another, with no downtime, no outage. We can get the data synchronized with multiple databases and then switch the connectivity across to the new servers."
"For small databases, GoldenGate handles the migration well."
"The solution's existing SaaS platform for data integration gives us an edge."
"One feature that stands out for me is the data center capability."
"The CDC feature is interesting."
"The replication of the data table is one of the best features."
"GoldenGate can aggregate various data types from different sources."
"The stability of Oracle GoldenGate Cloud Service is one of its most useful features, although its performance is not too steady; it excels with bidirectional data synchronization and supports diverse databases and platforms."
"GoldenGate's best features are the desktop security features."
"We are heavily involved with GitHub for managing repositories, automatic deployments, and inner source projects."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Oracle GoldenGate Cloud Service is valued for its ability to replicate data in real-time, offering significant benefits from a data perspective."
"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."
"It provides a good response for external microservices applications."
 

Cons

"Microservices Architecture is not user-friendly."
"I would like to see the interface more graphical and easier to use."
"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."
"The solution is quite costly, and if they could reduce their pricing, it would be more economical to implement."
"A clean and user-friendly graphical interface based on common design principles would be beneficial."
"Technical support for Oracle products needs to be more efficient (at least locally in Egypt)."
"In the future, I would appreciate a more user-friendly monitoring interface for easier management and troubleshooting."
"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."
"With Oracle GoldenGate Cloud Service, we have usual cloud solution issues such as privacy and data security."
"More technical documentation is needed, especially in terms of mapping and conversion of data, while integration would also be very helpful."
"Over the past four to five years, I have experienced many problems when opening support requests."
"I am not very happy with Oracle Support. 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."
"The initial setup was a little complex, and we required support from Oracle to complete it."
"Support could be improved. They lack knowledge."
"Oracle is always adding new features. I can't think of anything that's urgent currently."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing is based on anual licensing with additional costs for support packages."
"The tool needs to improve its pricing."
"Its price can be better. It is a bit crazy, and its licensing is very difficult to understand. I would rate it one out of five in terms of pricing. There don't seem to be any additional costs."
"Licensing for Oracle GoldenGate is paid yearly."
"The licensing model should be improved to be more cost-effective for the end users."
"The price of this solution is good."
"Oracle GoldenGate's cost is high."
"The one feature that I think Oracle could perhaps consider is, at the moment, the Veridata option is an extra cost. Golden Gate is an expensive product. You pay a lot for the best. But not including the Veridata license to prove that everything is working correctly... The big improvement for me would be to have that license built in. That would take it to the next level. That would make it a much better product. You may want to look at buying term licenses if you've just got a single migration to do. In that situation, you might want a term license for perhaps a year to save a lot of money, rather than buying a perpetual license."
"I rate the product price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
