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.

Provides users with an initial setup phase, which is fairly simple to manage
I don't know what could be improved in terms of what my company was used to previously or after moving over to Rivery. I have not had much experience with platforms other than Rivery. For me, Rivalry was a way to step up from what we used. To be honest, I am not really sure what improvements could be made in Rivery. Pricing is a little steep for smaller organizations, I would say. The product's pricing model could be a little bit better. I am not aware if there are additional packages for smaller organizations, but if there are no packages available, then maybe that would be a good way to introduce something new in the tool.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"What I like most about Oracle GoldenGate is that it supports cross-platform migrations. For example, Oracle GoldenGate could pump data from one type of system to another such as the data from Oracle DB to SQL Db2."
"GoldenGate can connect and collect data from multiple sources, such as SQL Server."
"This solution provides us with real-time replication and it does not affect the performance of other operations, which is very important to us."
"It is a scalable solution."
"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 platform's most helpful features are its speed and its guarantee of data replication from one database to another."
"For small databases, GoldenGate handles the migration well."
"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."
"The solution's most valuable features are that it is quick to connect and simple to use."
"Connects to many APIs in the market and new ones are being added all the time."
 

Cons

"There are a lot of bugs in the solution."
"The solution's licensing price is very expensive and could be made more competitive."
"Lacks the ability to become a full-scale ETL tool."
"The problem with GoldenGate is it is very complex to use. You need heavyweight skills to use it."
"What needs improvement in Oracle GoldenGate is the support. Another feature that needs to be improved in the solution is its GUI. It would be useful for programmers or users to be able to work from the GUI, not just from the command line. Simplifying how Oracle GoldenGate is used would also make the solution better."
"It should be easier to integrate this solution with non-Oracle databases, including cloud-based solutions hosted on Azure."
"For Oracle GoldenGate, customers face challenges with patching, the latest updates, and encountering bugs."
"The front-end management isn't very good."
"Lineage and an impact analysis or logic dependency are lacking."
"Pricing is a little steep for smaller organizations, I would say. The product's pricing model could be a little bit better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is highly-priced."
"The tool is a bit expensive."
"Licensing for Oracle GoldenGate is paid yearly."
"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."
"We do like the price of this solution."
"Oracle GoldenGate's license can be expensive compared to other solutions like Qlik Replicate or SAP Replicate."
"The tool needs to improve its pricing."
"The licensing model should be improved to be more cost-effective for the end users."
"I rate the tool's price as six out of ten if I consider the lowest price to be one and the highest price to be ten."
