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.
Alokik Gupta - PeerSpot reviewer
Effective microservice and task management but needs more dashboard features
The dashboards in Spring Cloud Dataflow are quite valuable. By injecting the dependency of Spring Cloud Dataflow into our Spring Boot application and annotating it with 'enable task annotation', we can manage tasks effectively. Additionally, the platform allows us to create pipelines and use microservices like a logical AND gate, giving us greater control over our microservices.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"CDC is the most valuable feature."
"This solution has a well-known procedure for troubleshooting and tuning the performance, providing for smooth operation."
"The product's microservice architecture is scalable."
"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."
"Oracle GoldenGate is beneficial for data replication and ensures secure data transport."
"It is quite scalable."
"The product's initial setup phase was very simple."
"The live application feature is most valuable. The solution is stable. I rate it a seven out of ten."
"The ease of deployment on Kubernetes, the seamless integration for orchestration of various pipelines, and the visual dashboard that simplifies operations even for non-specialists such as quality analysts."
"The solution's most valuable feature is that it allows us to use different batch data sources, retrieve the data, and then do the data processing, after which we can convert and store it in the target."
"There are a lot of options in Spring Cloud. It's flexible in terms of how we can use it. It's a full infrastructure."
"The dashboards in Spring Cloud Dataflow are quite valuable."
"The most valuable feature is real-time streaming."
"The product is very user-friendly."
"The best thing I like about Spring Cloud Data Flow is its plug-and-play model."
"The most valuable features of Spring Cloud Data Flow are the simple programming model, integration, dependency Injection, and ability to do any injection. Additionally, auto-configuration is another important feature because we don't have to configure the database and or set up the boilerplate in the database in every project. The composability is good, we can create small workloads and compose them in any way we like."
 

Cons

"It is not a very stable tool, and you need to monitor it perfectly."
"Some issues regarding stability need to be resolved."
"Technical support for Oracle products needs to be more efficient (at least locally in Egypt)."
"Microservices Architecture is not user-friendly."
"The solution is quite costly, and if they could reduce their pricing, it would be more economical to implement."
"The product is not easy to use."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in Oracle GoldenGate's pricing, which is a bit high."
"The solution's community support could be improved."
"Spring Cloud Data Flow is not an easy-to-use tool, so improvements are required."
"On the tool's online discussion forums, you may get stuck with an issue, making it an area where improvements are required."
"Some of the features, like the monitoring tools, are not very mature and are still evolving."
"There were instances of deployment pipelines getting stuck, and the dashboard not always accurately showing the application status, requiring manual intervention such as rerunning applications or refreshing the dashboard."
"I would improve the dashboard features as they are not very user-friendly."
"Spring Cloud Data Flow could improve the user interface. We can drag and drop in the application for the configuration and settings, and deploy it right from the UI, without having to run a CI/CD pipeline. However, that does not work with Kubernetes, it only works when we are working with jars as the Spring Cloud Data Flow applications."
"The configurations could be better. Some configurations are a little bit time-consuming in terms of trying to understand using the Spring Cloud documentation."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing is based on anual licensing with additional costs for support packages."
"We pay a yearly licensing fee for Oracle GoldenGate, which is very expensive."
"Oracle GoldenGate's license can be expensive compared to other solutions like Qlik Replicate or SAP Replicate."
"The licensing model should be improved to be more cost-effective for the end users."
"Licensing for Oracle GoldenGate is paid yearly."
"Oracle GoldenGate is a high-priced solution because it follows the core-based pricing model versus the software-based pricing model of other solutions."
"We do like the price of this solution."
"The tool is a bit expensive."
"If you want support from Spring Cloud Data Flow there is a fee. The Spring Framework is open-source and this is a free solution."
"The solution provides value for money, and we are currently using its community edition."
"This is an open-source product that can be used free of charge."
