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.

Real-time data capture has accelerated releases and now improves trust in our data warehouse

The checkpoints would help me to figure out where the problem was if there's any lag, but I had to do a lot of manual work to figure out where the lag is. Striim would not intuitively tell me the culprit table or database behind the lag. I believe that is an improvement Striim could definitely do. Passwords were an issue. Property variables were not supported for passwords, meaning I had to make sure the password is manually populated. I believe if Striim could read from AWS secrets or its own secret mechanism to store the password, that would really save a lot of time so that I don't have to keep updating the password whenever there is any change. The user experience of triggering alerts if there's any lag which Striim identified, which is outside normal processing time, could intrinsically be done by Striim. I believe that was lacking. I would wait for Striim to tell me, instead of me going and validating whether Striim is lagging behind. If Striim could itself tell me that it's seeing a lot more volume than expected, that would really make me give it a higher number.

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."

"The CDC feature is interesting."

"The platform's most helpful features are its speed and its guarantee of data replication from one database to another."

"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."

"The solution's existing SaaS platform for data integration gives us an edge."

"Data replication is seamless, once it is set up on a database."

"The replication of the data table is one of the best features."

"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."

More Oracle GoldenGate pros

"Striim is capable of absorbing a large number of transactions, and the difference between the two databases is always less than a second, which demonstrates efficiency and highlights the variety of sources and targets I have used."

"We were confidently in a situation to call Snowflake as a single source of truth, and I believe with Striim, we were able to do that because without Striim, the SLA would be much higher, and there would not have been much confidence in Snowflake."

"Striim is definitely my data migration tool and data reflection syncing tool. It reduces manual intervention because it automatically syncs the data from the warehouse."

"Striim acts as the perfect modern bridge for legacy environments, keeping both our development teams and business stakeholders happy."

Cons

"Amount of min. supplemental logging or storage needed is unknown and has to be figured out, so increases time to value."

"The problem with GoldenGate is it is very complex to use. You need heavyweight skills to use it."

"Some issues regarding stability need to be resolved."

"Regarding improvements, the focus should be on addressing data quality issues and minimizing delays, particularly in Oracle databases. The technical support should be improved as well. Additionally, in terms of features, it would be great if the solution could support APIs. The support is not friendly. They don’t respond on time."

"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."

"The tool's connections are disconnected at times. The tool needs to integrate other databases."

"In some cases, expectations were not met, especially when specific tables were expected to be disabled, and changes were anticipated in the target environment. We had to take backups from the source and refresh the address to address this."

"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."

More Oracle GoldenGate cons

"I think Striim could be improved with better pricing and enhanced documentation."

"I think the initial schema mapping tool in Striim can have a learning curve when dealing with deeply nested mainframe structures or complex copybooks."

"I would say Striim performance needs improvement because we use more GoldenGate, so I tend to compare GoldenGate with Striim."

"The user experience of triggering alerts if there's any lag which Striim identified, which is not normal, could intrinsically be done by Striim."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Oracle GoldenGate's cost is high."

"We have purchased corporate licensing to use Oracle GoldenGate."

"The solution would be costly for a small organization."

"It is an expensive product."

"The price of this solution is good."

"The one feature that I think Oracle could perhaps consider is, at the moment, the Veridata option is an extra cost. Golden Gate is an expensive product. You pay a lot for the best. But not including the Veridata license to prove that everything is working correctly... The big improvement for me would be to have that license built in. That would take it to the next level. That would make it a much better product. You may want to look at buying term licenses if you've just got a single migration to do. In that situation, you might want a term license for perhaps a year to save a lot of money, rather than buying a perpetual license."

"The tool is a bit expensive."

"Oracle GoldenGate is a high-priced solution because it follows the core-based pricing model versus the software-based pricing model of other solutions."
