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.
Robert Heck - PeerSpot reviewer
The solution is stable, scalable, and flexible
I rate the solution eight out of ten. The number of people required to maintain the solution is dependent on the other applications running. The solution in itself does not require a lot of maintenance. The solution is flexible and I recommend it when you have more complex applications with special requirements.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We can replicate data across different data centers and different technologies."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The initial setup is straightforward. It doesn't take too much time or effort to implement the solution."
"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."
"For small databases, GoldenGate handles the migration well."
"GoldenGate enables us to merge and transform data from various sources in real time. It's a powerful tool that can read and load most data sources."
"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 quite scalable."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is the ease of access to the data in those databases."
"The most valuable part of SAS/ACCESS is what it is made for: connecting to remote systems that are not part of your physical SAS environment."
"The most valuable feature is you have native access to the external databases."
 

Cons

"Monitoring must be a bit more enhanced."
"I find the user interface to be difficult for non-technical people."
"I would like to see the interface more graphical and easier to use."
"The solution is quite costly, and if they could reduce their pricing, it would be more economical to implement."
"The solution costs a lot."
"In the future, I would appreciate a more user-friendly monitoring interface for easier management and troubleshooting."
"It would be great if Oracle added some enhanced features or more functionalities to Oracle GoldenGate."
"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 pricing model needs to be reconsidered and adjusted."
"The solution can provide access to the newer databases that come out sooner."
"I can't really recall any missing feature or general improvement that is needed. We don't really add too many new kinds of databases and therefore our needs are already met."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Oracle GoldenGate's cost is high."
"The product is expensive."
"The return on investment would make it a worthwhile deal."
"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."
"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 Oracle GoldenGate should be lowered. It is expensive compared to other solutions."
"Licensing for Oracle GoldenGate is paid yearly."
"We have purchased corporate licensing to use Oracle GoldenGate."
"The solution's pricing and licensing are expensive."
"The pricing model is complex and is based on modular packages as well as the size of the applicable environment."
