Comparison Buyer's Guide

Executive Summary

Review summaries and opinions

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

ROI

Sentiment score
5.6
Oracle GoldenGate reduces integration time and costs, enhancing disaster recovery and proving economically beneficial for large budgets.
Sentiment score
6.4
Stitch boosts efficiency by saving time and costs, enhancing focus on data analysis despite mixed financial ROI reports.
That cut down our pipeline maintenance and integration overhead by eighty to ninety percent, freeing us up to focus entirely on actual data analysis and building user-facing features.
Developer at a educational organization with 51-200 employees
Previously it took me about a month to a month and a half to have a prototype of roughly five to ten screens. Now I can do it in about two to three days.
UX Designer at a university with 1,001-5,000 employees
We've got a project at the moment that we estimated the integration was going to be around $200,000 to $300,000, and we've been able to achieve the integration for less than a tenth of that, doing it in-house using Stitch.

Customer Service

Sentiment score
5.2
Oracle GoldenGate's customer service is praised for handling critical issues but criticized for slow responses and initial expertise.
Sentiment score
4.1
Stitch's customer service feedback is mixed, praised for effectiveness by some, criticized by others, with many users self-sufficient.
The rating for Oracle GoldenGate support is a three.
Oracle DBS at Bpifrance
The support team responds quickly, providing feedback which we then implement.
Business Manager at LS Systems Philippines
The best skill set they've got is that they know when the issue is outside of their knowledge, and they escalate really quickly so that we get to the right people when we need them.
Enterprise Architect at Waikato Regional Council
The platform actually has a very clear interface and a very good user experience.
UX Designer at a university with 1,001-5,000 employees
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
7.3
Oracle GoldenGate is highly scalable, efficiently handling data transformations and integrations despite licensing and configuration complexities.
Sentiment score
5.2
Stitch is scalable and user-friendly, but concerns exist about complexity and third-party connections for heavy applications and UI.
It effectively manages larger databases, such as those of 15 terabytes and above.
Enterprise Systems Engineer at Sybyl
I would advise that you should not use Stitch if you are going to build a big number of screens or a heavy UI application with complex designs because it is not ready for that kind of work.
Software Engineer trainee at Lng-consultancy
We just spin up a new server and add it into a cluster, and then it pretty much manages the load balancing across all the servers in the cluster.
Enterprise Architect at Waikato Regional Council
If you are using the cloud version, then definitely it is scalable for sure.
Senior Manager at pibythree
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
7.6
Oracle GoldenGate is praised for stability and reliability, with quick issue resolution and superior performance over competitors.
Sentiment score
8.1
Stitch is highly stable and reliable, with rare issues and minimal disruptions noted by users over the past year.
Oracle GoldenGate is quite stable.
Enterprise Systems Engineer at Sybyl
Stitch is really stable.
Enterprise Architect at Waikato Regional Council
I have not run into any major platform downtime or critical bugs that disrupted our data flow.
Developer at a educational organization with 51-200 employees
I didn't notice any explicit crashes or bugs with Stitch, as it is actually stable.
Software Engineer trainee at Lng-consultancy
 

Room For Improvement

Oracle GoldenGate requires better user-friendliness, reduced costs, improved support, enhanced scalability, clearer documentation, and expanded non-Oracle database features.
Stitch users seek improved support, customization, integration, error handling, design features, pricing, and AI capabilities for better usability.
The configuration process could be made simpler.
Enterprise Systems Engineer at Sybyl
For Oracle GoldenGate, customers face challenges with patching, the latest updates, and encountering bugs.
Business Manager at LS Systems Philippines
You can tune Oracle GoldenGate to use more RAM on the source side or more processes.
DBA at a tech services company with 5,001-10,000 employees
Stitch cannot connect to all databases or third-party apps, such as Amazon Seller.
head of data at a healthcare company with 11-50 employees
I saved a lot of time getting from having no design inspiration to having full-fledged designs.
Product Designer at a healthcare company with 11-50 employees
I suggest developing a featured interface that is easier to use.
software developer at a tech services company with 201-500 employees
 

Setup Cost

Oracle GoldenGate is costly, with complex licensing; alternatives like Qlik or SAP are often considered due to lower costs.
Stitch is cost-effective for small teams but seen as pricey with large data, complicated by Talend merger licensing.
The list price is high, and the price can sometimes seem expensive if the appropriate discount is not applied.
Business Manager at LS Systems Philippines
The pricing of Oracle GoldenGate is quite high.
Enterprise Systems Engineer at Sybyl
My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is that it is pretty easy, pretty straightforward, and the cheapest of them all.
head of data at a healthcare company with 11-50 employees
The cost of the seats is actually cheaper by the amount of value that you're adding to the business.
Enterprise Architect at Waikato Regional Council
If you are using any ETL tool, they are too expensive.
Senior Manager at pibythree
 

Valuable Features

Oracle GoldenGate provides real-time data replication, platform integration, and scalability, ensuring data integrity and user-friendly customization.
Stitch streamlines data management with automation, vast integrations, real-time alerts, and intuitive tools enhancing workflows and decision-making.
The most valuable feature of Oracle GoldenGate is its ability to sync data in real-time, which is crucial for me.
Enterprise Systems Engineer at Sybyl
Oracle GoldenGate is beneficial for data replication and ensures secure data transport.
Business Manager at LS Systems Philippines
With Oracle GoldenGate, we were able to apply transformations to the data during the streaming between source and target.
DBA at a tech services company with 5,001-10,000 employees
The image to HTML conversion helps me in my projects because it allows you to acquire professional designs without starting from scratch.
software developer at a tech services company with 201-500 employees
We take one week of time to design an application, but now we can design that application within two days, which is 16 hours.
UX lead at a outsourcing company with 201-500 employees
We can easily move and do time-to-market for a new pipeline and new integration, positively impacting our organization.

Real-time data streaming has simplified transformations and kept enterprise databases synchronized
Oracle GoldenGate is good, but I would like to improve it. There is a need for whoever installs and configures Oracle GoldenGate to set the correct parameters for the use cases we need to use. In some cases, we had performance problems related to the streaming because there was a lot of information to stream concurrently. However, you can tune Oracle GoldenGate to use more RAM on the source side or more processes. I think that sometimes what is missing is knowledge about the tool from the person responsible for configuration. At this moment, Oracle GoldenGate is a very good tool, and I do not know in which area we can improve it. Perhaps the debug part of the tool could be improved. In some cases, I use the utility for how Oracle GoldenGate generates messages about the statements that it streams because of bugs, and in some cases, it is not very user-friendly. It may be possible to improve the API or the path related to debugging, but not the tool itself. The tool itself is good. I remember that in some configurations, we had problems with the streaming of DDL, which are changes to Oracle object structures such as tables and procedures. A new feature could be to perform streaming for operational objects such as procedures, functions, packages, or grants. This would synchronize source and target for these aspects, not only for data or the main types of structures, but also for others. I remember that there was some configuration in which you performed the streaming of the entire schema, or if you performed streaming for only tables, then you were unable to stream grants and other Oracle objects. I think it is important to introduce that capability.

Data team has transformed diverse environmental streams and now delivers real-time insights
The best thing that we've seen coming out of Stitch is the Talend and Qlik relationship becoming more of a single entity rather than two entities. A couple of years ago there was a distinction between Stitch and Qlik. The biggest challenge when we were dealing with both was that we felt like we were dealing with two different companies. They are quickly merging the two different entities into a single one, and by around the end of this year, they're planning to basically consolidate everything. Until then, it does get a little bit complicated when we have Qlik and Stitch components together. It's not quite exactly one solution. That's probably the biggest negative at the moment. Each month we're seeing improvements in the cloud platform, and they're coming out with capabilities that we haven't even thought about that are going to make our lives easier. Probably the biggest negative they have is they're doing so much good stuff, but we don't know about it. It just appears and then we figure it out ourselves, but the communication of changes could be improved. However, the positives are that they're changing so much at the moment.
