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.

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

"It scales well. You can either have it working in with the databases, or you can move it outside. It's got the ability to parallelize up, so you can certainly extract and replay the data from your databases in parallel. So it does have horizontal scalability. That is probably one of its stronger features, the ability just to automatically parallelize the replay and playing of data to allow to scale to large volumes."
"The most valuable feature is data replication capability."
"When we are replicating data between similar databases then it is straightforward."
"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 live application feature is most valuable. The solution is stable. I rate it a seven out of ten."
"I like that the product transforms data and provides real-time applications."
"Ease of installation, maintenance and powerful outputs and supporting Big Data and Cloud environment as well as OGGCS (Oracle Golden Gate Cloud Service)."
"The most valuable features of Oracle GoldenGate are the schema application and performance."
"It's really easy to install."
"The most valuable feature is creating virtual databases."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is VDB provisioning."
"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."
"It provides the ability to roll back to a point in time or roll forward without the assistance of a DBA."
"Data being available anytime is a life changer."
"Delphix can do data masking in any format. Not many solutions can do that."
"It is also easy to learn and user-friendly. Microsoft is also good in terms of technical support. They have built a large community all over the world."
"The most valuables features are the relatively short learning curve, and the automation capabilities provided through the BIML add-in for SSDT."
"I like that this solution is very scalable, accommodating large datasets and various types of servers. It integrates with most common database servers and allows for customization through coding, including complex scripts. Compared to Alteryx Designer, SSIS offers more customization. Its data cleaning capabilities are highly accurate because we can run tests as data is loaded, ensuring it meets all requirements before reaching the final destination. The ability to write custom SQL and C# code within SSIS packages is its greatest feature."
"The simplicity of the solution is great. The solution also offers excellent integration."
"Stability is rated at 10."
"The performance is better than doing it in some alternative ways. We don't have to worry about so much manual work."
"The ability of SSIS to transform and transport data is extremely valuable to me. It allows for intelligent extraction and manipulation of data during the process. Improved error handling would enhance ETL processes further. I haven't directly utilized the data flow components but they seem capable of supporting complex data integration needs."
"The most valuable thing is that it is easy to connect with Microsoft tools. In Europe, particularly in France, a lot of companies use Excel, SQL Server, and other Microsoft tools, and it is easier to connect SSIS with Microsoft tools than other products."
 

Cons

"It should be easier to integrate this solution with non-Oracle databases, including cloud-based solutions hosted on Azure."
"Additional performance metrics should be added and visible in a dashboard, displayed in a detailed manner."
"The tool's connections are disconnected at times. The tool needs to integrate other databases."
"We struggle with memory. It's limited. However, it may be because of our unique business case and how we use it that it's limiting for us."
"IBM CDC has one central control while Oracle GoldenGate has two controls. In IBM CDC we can do all things in frontend. The solution needs to incorporate a feature where we can connect it to a standby database."
"The process of transforming the data between two different databases is inefficient and needs to be improved."
"The product lacks some features and it's expensive."
"The solution's performance needs improvement."
"Delphix could be improved with better usability and an agentless option."
"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."
"GUI could be improved."
"As a commercial model, it's very good. However, maybe it would be nice for Delphix to integrate with some other platforms."
"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."
"Delphix is quite expensive."
"Delphix is a strong solution for virtualization, but it's not strong enough for creating data, so we have to use another solution for creating new data."
"Sometimes when we want to publish to other types of databases it's not easy to publish to those databases. For example, the Jet Database Engine. Before the SSIS supported Jet Database Engine but nowadays it doesn't support the Jet Database Engine. We connect to many databases such as Access database, SparkPros databases and the other types of databases using Jet Database Engines now and SSIS now doesn't seem to support it in our databases."
"We've had issues in terms of the amount of data that is transferred when we are scheduling."
"I would also like to see full integration with our BI because then our full load of data will be available in our organization. They should incorporate an ATL process."
"The creation of the measure in the DAC's model could be improved."
"This solution needs full support for real-time processing."
"I would like to see better technical documentation because many times information is missing."
"I would like to see more standard components out of the box, such as SFTP, and Data Compression components."
"There's no support for it at all. If you haven't undergone the qualifications, you wouldn't even know you should phone someone."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of this solution is good."
"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."
"The solution would be costly for a small organization."
"We have an enterprise license for it. It might be for three years or so. I'm not aware of any additional costs to the standard licensing fee."
"We pay a yearly licensing fee for Oracle GoldenGate, which is very expensive."
"The price of Oracle GoldenGate should be lowered. It is expensive compared to other solutions."
"The solution is highly-priced."
