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.

Good management and pricing but not great for enterprise environments

In a high-density location, we're running into connectivity drops. There may be too many rouge devices broadcasting, and the devices is getting interference from another channel. The only to fix this is to reboot and we need something that reboots on the fly. We also need better security for VLANs and VPNs. There are issues with certain Apple devices. Technical support is not very helpful. The initial setup, which seemed straightforward at first, had to be redone. This may not have been the fault of the product. We're not sure what went wrong.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This solution has a well-known procedure for troubleshooting and tuning the performance, providing for smooth operation."

"With Oracle GoldenGate, you can easily sync the tables and put them into the ODS database."

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

"When we are replicating data between similar databases then it is straightforward."

"CDC is the most valuable feature."

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

"You can use Oracle GoldenGate as a DR for your system."

More Oracle GoldenGate pros

"It's easy to manage and support the user, our guests, and our customers if they have a problem."

"The controller makes it easy to control everything from one platform. The management is easy."

Cons

"Technical support for Oracle products needs to be more efficient (at least locally in Egypt)."

"There is room for improvement in Oracle GoldenGate's pricing, which is a bit high."

"In the future, I would appreciate a more user-friendly monitoring interface for easier management and troubleshooting."

"It should be easier to integrate this solution with non-Oracle databases, including cloud-based solutions hosted on Azure."

"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."

"The main problem of Oracle GoldenGate is that sometimes, the processes get abended. Data consistency is also challenging."

"It would be better for Oracle Golden Gate Studio GUI to include other licensed products (i.e. Veridata or others)."

"It would be great if Oracle added some enhanced features or more functionalities to Oracle GoldenGate."

More Oracle GoldenGate cons

"It's stable, but it depends on the office and location."

"There are issues with certain Apple devices."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing model should be improved to be more cost-effective for the end users."

"It is an expensive product."

"The tool needs to improve its pricing."

"The price of Oracle GoldenGate should be lowered. It is expensive compared to other solutions."

"The tool is a bit expensive."

"We do like the price of this solution."

"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."

"We pay a yearly licensing fee for Oracle GoldenGate, which is very expensive."

More Oracle GoldenGate pricing and cost advice

"There is no license. The solution is free."

Overview

Oracle GoldenGate is a real-time data integration and database replication solution. It can detect data events and route them across networks at very low latencies and integrates well with 100s of combinations of non-Oracle databases, data stores, and clouds.

Oracle GoldenGate Features

Oracle GoldenGate has many valuable key features, including:

Simple to use web interface
Fast and easy installation or provisioning
Command line access via AdminClient that can run anywhere
RESTful APIs for DevOps
Offers built-in monitoring but also can be easily adapted to roll your own monitoring

Oracle GoldenGate Benefits

Some of the benefits of using Oracle GoldenGate include:

Oracle GoldenGate is deeply integrated with the Oracle Database (logging, redo, backup and recovery layer, security, administration, data guard, data vault, autonomous database etc.).
It is the most stable, performant, and reliable CDC / replication solution for Oracle.
High performance: Oracle GoldenGate is capable of sub-second latency for data movement. featuring low impact capture, routing, transformation, and delivery of transactional data.
GoldenGate is the only CDC / replication tool that keeps pace with new and emerging innovations (security, features, data types, etc) in the core Oracle Database.
The solution supports a wide range of use cases, from conventional OLTP data replication and high availability to data lake ingestion or multi-cloud ingestion, SaaS application replication, and messaging replication.
GoldenGate is the only CDC / replication technology certified for Exadata, Exadata Cloud Service, and Exadata Cloud at Customer.
For fault-tolerance, GoldenGate has its own mechanism to keep track of how much work is completed and how much is pending. This mechanism is independent of any database and ensures, with the help of automatic gap-resolution, that no data loss occurs.
GoldenGate uses its own proprietary format files for keeping the committed data coming from the source database, making it independently functional irrespective of the database in use.
To maintain the performance and consistency, only committed data is sent. Uncommitted data is captured by GoldenGate, but is discarded after receiving a Rollback.
With GoldenGate, data sending is in “near real time,” which reduces the possibility of latency.

Reviews from Real Users

Below are some reviews and helpful feedback written by Oracle GoldenGate users.

PeerSpot user Steve-J., Cloud Migration Software Consultant - UK & EMEA at 1PLACE, says, "What I have found the most valuable about GoldenGate is that it does real-time and no-downtime migrations. Its migrations are fast. There are not many tools like it on the marketplace."

Pinak S., Senior Manager of System and Database at ESL, mentions, “We like how in GoldenGate the heterogeneous database is supported. Sometimes the client actually needs a schedule and needs to ensure the state of databases for reporting purposes. With that in mind, we have been able to configure GoldenGate for certain schema. The solution is quite stable. They've recently improved the ease of implementation.”

A Database Administrator at a manufacturing company explains, "It moves the data as you set it up, and it works. I am also very impressed with its stability and scalability. It is not super feature-rich, but the new releases have more functionality. It recently had more native integrations with Oracle Database. If you are using it against an Oracle database, it has a lot more functionality."

An Oracle ERP DBA Consultant - Oracle Super Cluster T5-8 Admin at a government comments, "GoldenGate can connect and collect data from multiple sources, such as SQL Server."
