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.
Amit-Rastogi - PeerSpot reviewer
Handles large volumes of data with ease, but the self-service portal must be more user-friendly
My advice depends on an organization’s needs. If an organization has a large volume of data, Delphix is a good choice. It is robust and very efficient with large volumes of data and different kinds of databases. If someone is looking for a one-stop solution with all features and capabilities, they must consider a different tool. Overall, I rate the product a six or seven out of ten.
Sean Achim - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"Many of the features of Oracle GoldenGate are valuable. We use Oracle databases and this tool is from Oracle, making it have superior compatibility."
"GoldenGate can connect and collect data from multiple sources, such as SQL Server."
"The most valuable feature is data replication capability."
"We can replicate data across different data centers and different technologies."
"It is quite scalable."
"You can put data together from a few databases into one database or the other way, from one database into several. It transforms data in real-time."
"CDC is the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle GoldenGate is its cost-effectiveness compared to other solutions like Oracle Data Guard, especially for Oracle-to-non-Oracle replication scenarios."
"Delphix's data distribution is powerful. It's easy to distribute data with this solution. The main advantage of Delphix is that it generates copies of data."
"The product is efficient in handling large volumes of data."
"The most valuable feature is VDB provisioning."
"The most valuable aspect is the product is easy to manage, with a good dashboard. We can easily configure it on the front end and back end."
"Delphix interfaces are simple to use and very user friendly."
"It is a stable solution."
"It's really easy to install."
"The performance offered by the product, its price, and its ability to handle structured and unstructured data were good when compared to the other products in the market."
"The workflow features have been very valuable. You can have automated workflows and all the steps are controlled. The workflow functionality of integration services is excellent."
"SSIS is an easy way to do data integration from various data sources. It doesn't matter whether it's a database, flat files, XML, or Web API. It can talk to the and join them all together."
"In SSIS, the scope is not only to handle ETL challenges, but it will allow us to do so many other tasks, such as DBA activities, scripting, calling any .exe or scripts, etc."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the fast insert and fuzzy logic matching."
"The most valuable feature of SSIS is its ease of use. It is easier to use than other applications."
"You can get data from any data source with SSIS and dump it to any outside source. It is helpful. Getting, extracting, converting, and dumping data doesn't require much effort because we can do everything in the user interface. You drag and drop, then give the required input. It's intuitive."
"The simplicity of the solution is great. The solution also offers excellent integration."
"The scalability of SSIS is good."
 

Cons

"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."
"There is room for improvement in Oracle GoldenGate's pricing, which is a bit high."
"Monitoring must be a bit more enhanced."
"I would like to see the interface more graphical and easier to use."
"The product is not easy to use."
"Oracle GoldenGate's installation is not user-friendly, we had to read a lot of documentation for the setup and configuration."
"The solution's licensing price is very expensive and could be made more competitive."
"The solution's performance needs improvement."
"When it comes to unstructured and structured data, if Delphix can comply with the requirements for most of the structured data, it would be good, especially if it can include the data scanning part."
"The solution's price needs improvement."
"Delphix could be improved with better usability and an agentless option."
"My only complaint about this solution is the price."
"This product should be extended and made to be a more comprehensive storage solution."
"Could be improved with richer reporting capabilities."
"The solution’s self-service portal must be more interactive and user-friendly."
"One thing I would like to see improved is the unusual error messages we receive and some slowness we have while we are updating."
"SSIS should be made a little bit more intuitive and user-friendly because it needs an expert-level person to work on it."
"It needs more integration tools, so you can connect to different sources."
"We've had issues in terms of the amount of data that is transferred when we are scheduling."
"I would like to see better technical documentation because many times information is missing."
"There was also not enough instructions from Microsoft in regards to this application or this technology, which can easily be improved upon."
"The interface could use improvement, as well as the administrative tools. Jobs fail from time to time for different reasons. It's not a problem with Microsoft, or SSIS itself. The problems are external, but to find the problems and analyze them it takes too much time."
"It hangs a lot of the time."
"Improving the login procedure would make our reporting easier on monitoring our ETL processes."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Oracle GoldenGate's cost is high."
"We do like the price of this solution."
"Licensing for Oracle GoldenGate is paid yearly."
"The licensing model should be improved to be more cost-effective for the end users."
"We pay a yearly licensing fee for Oracle GoldenGate, which is very expensive."
"The price is high. Consequently, when clients or customers acquire the solution, they tend to utilize it to its maximum extent due to this factor."
"The price of this solution is good."
"The solution is highly-priced."
"I would say the price is a little high but affordable for our needs."
"I rate the product price seven to eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is the low price, and ten is the high price."
"The product is a little bit expensive."
"It is an expensive solution."
"Delphix's pricing is affordable."
"The cost is $370K annually for the Delphix Masking Engine and Delphix Virtualization Engine."
"The solution's pricing was reasonable and lower than one million."
"SSIS is fairly well-priced - I would rate it at four out of five."
"We have an enterprise license for this solution."
"My advice is to look at what your configuration will be because most companies have their own deals with Microsoft."
"SSIS is a cheaper option compared to the cost of other ETL tools."
"Our license with SSIS is annual."
"It would be beneficial if the solution had a less costly cloud offering."
"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."
"The solution is available at a lesser price than that of Informatica."
