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.

Streaming pipelines have become simpler and onboarding new data sources is now much faster

One of the best features Upsolver offers is the automatic schema evolution. Another good feature is SQL-based streaming transformations. Complex streaming transformations such as cleansing, deduplication, and enrichment were implemented using SQL and drastically reduced the need for custom Spark code. My experience with the SQL-based streaming transformations in Upsolver is that it had a significant positive impact on the overall data engineering workflow. By replacing custom Spark streaming jobs with declarative SQL logic, I simplified development, review, and deployment processes. Data transformations such as parsing, filtering, enrichment, and deduplication could be implemented and modified quickly without rebuilding or redeploying complex code-based pipelines. Upsolver has impacted my organization positively because it brings many benefits. The first one is faster onboarding of new data sources. Another one is more reliable streaming pipelines. Another one is near-real-time data availability, which is very important for us. It also reduced operational effort for data engineering teams. A specific outcome that highlights these benefits is that the time to onboard new sources is reduced from weeks to days. Custom Spark code reduction reached 50 to 40 percent. Pipeline failures are reduced by 70 to 80 percent. Data latency is improved from hours to minutes.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This solution provides us with real-time replication and it does not affect the performance of other operations, which is very important to us."

"We can replicate data across different data centers and different technologies."

"The initial setup is straightforward. It doesn't take too much time or effort to implement the solution."

"I recommend buying the product."

"One feature that stands out for me is the data center capability."

"Oracle GoldenGate is a stable, powerful and robust solution for your data replication needs."

"I like that the product transforms data and provides real-time applications."

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

More Oracle GoldenGate pros

"Customer service is excellent, and I would rate it between eight point five to nine out of ten."

"It was easy to use and set up, with a nearly no-code interface that relied mostly on drag-and-drop functionality."

"I have saved 50 to 60% on maintaining pipelines since using Upsolver."

"A specific outcome that highlights these benefits is that the time to onboard new sources is reduced from weeks to days, custom Spark code reduction reached 50 to 40 percent, pipeline failures are reduced by 70 to 80 percent, and data latency is improved from hours to minutes."

"The most prominent feature of Upsolver is its function as an ETL tool, allowing data to be moved across platforms and different data technologies."

Cons

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

"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 GoldenGate license is very costly."

"Additional performance metrics should be added and visible in a dashboard, displayed in a detailed manner."

"There are some DDLs that have problems with GoldenGate. These issues detract from stability and it is something that should be improved."

"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."

"The product is not easy to use."

"Licensing cost is higher as compared to other replication products."

More Oracle GoldenGate cons

"I would say Upsolver's scalability is eight out of 10 because of pricing."

"On the stability side, I would rate it seven out of ten. Using multiple cloud providers and data engineering technologies creates complexity, and managing different plugins is not always easy, but they are working on it."

"There is room for improvement in query tuning."

"I think that Upsolver can be improved in orchestration because it is not a full orchestration tool."

"Upsolver excels in ETL and data aggregation, while ThoughtSpot is strong in natural language processing for querying datasets. Combining these tools can be very effective: Upsolver handles aggregation and ETL, and ThoughtSpot allows for natural language queries. There’s potential for highlighting these integrations in the future."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 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 solution would be costly for a small organization."

"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 return on investment would make it a worthwhile deal."

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

"The product is expensive."

"We do like the price of this solution."

"Upsolver is affordable at approximately $225 per terabyte per year."
