A robust and reliable data replication and integration providing real-time, heterogeneous data movement that significantly streamlines development and ensures cost-effectiveness

Having a graphical interface would greatly enhance the tool. A clean and user-friendly graphical interface based on common design principles would be beneficial. While the current interface is functional, incorporating a more visually intuitive design, perhaps inspired by widely used interfaces, would make it even more straightforward. Looking ahead to future releases, there are specific features I'd appreciate having. One such feature is the incorporation of pipelines, similar to those in Java, for seamless integration. Additionally, configuring for the Amazon Cloud is currently not straightforward; it often requires adding Python code to customize integrations. I would like to see an enhancement in this aspect, making the configuration process more straightforward and less reliant on intricate coding, particularly during meetings or collaborative sessions.

Great queues and publishing capabilities with good reliability

We use the solution for event-driven programming. We have multiple queues and channels to provide scenarios for publishing into containers. You have to communicate the microservices, and consumers consume the services. We were using the solution to setting the tenant settings into the service.…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

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

"Ease of installation, maintenance and powerful outputs and supporting Big Data and Cloud environment as well as OGGCS (Oracle Golden Gate Cloud Service)."

"The CDC feature is interesting."

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

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

"Many of the features of Oracle GoldenGate are valuable. We use Oracle databases and this tool is from Oracle, making it have superior compatibility."

"The most valuable feature is data replication capability."

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

More Oracle GoldenGate pros

"The most valuable feature for us is horizontal scaling."

"Helps us to achieve large-scale analytics."

"I like the high throughput of 20K messages/sec, and that it supports multiple protocols."

"Very sophisticated routing control and priority messaging capabilities"

"Large amounts of data can be moved pretty fast using the solution."

"It works very well with large database queries."

"The loading speed is very good."

"We chose Greenplum because of the architecture in terms of clustering databases and being able to have, or at least utilize the resources that are sitting on a database."

More VMware Tanzu Data Services pros

Cons

"I would like to see the interface more graphical and easier to use."

"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."

"You cannot put everything in Golden Gate for the license and large models."

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

"Oracle GoldenGate's installation is not user-friendly, we had to read a lot of documentation for the setup and configuration."

"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."

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

More Oracle GoldenGate cons

"VMware Tanzu Greenplum needs improvement in the memory area and improved methods for quick access to the disc. So, one of the quick goals of Greenplum must work on enhancing access to the disc by adding hints in the database."

"The installation is difficult and should be made easier."

"Implementing a circuit breaker scenario using RabbitMQ is complicated. This complexity arises because manual intervention is required to manage worker details and handle operations based on worker IP addresses."

"The debugging capabilities and testing flexibilities need to be improved."

"When you have complex tasks, RabbitMQ is hard to use."

"The product needs to focus on offering more use case documentation because browsing the internet to find it can be a process filled with struggles."

"They should add more analytics. Their documentation could also be improved so that I don't have to bother my co-workers and tech support so often."

"they need to interact more with customers. They need to explain the features, especially when there are new releases of Greenplum. I know just from information I've found that it has other features, it can be used to for analytics, for integration with Big Data, Hadoop. They need to focus on this part with the customer."

More VMware Tanzu Data Services cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"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."

"The tool needs to improve its pricing."

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

"Its price can be better. It is a bit crazy, and its licensing is very difficult to understand. I would rate it one out of five in terms of pricing. There don't seem to be any additional costs."

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

More Oracle GoldenGate pricing and cost advice

"The pricing is okay."

"It is an open-source product."

"It is an open-source platform. Although, we have to pay for additional features."

"This is an open source solution."

"The product is available for free use since it is an open-source technology."

"On a scale of one to five, with five being the most competitive pricing, I would rate this solution as a four."

"The solution's pricing is cost-effective as it does not involve significant expenses. Licensing is required only for the server, while clients do not need any licensing. Therefore, it proves to be a cost-efficient option."

"are using the open-source version, which can be used free of cost."

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
APIs are protected by Cross Site Request Forgery (CSRF) authentication.

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."

VMware Tanzu is a robust platform tailored for data warehousing, complex analytics, BI applications, and predictive analytics. It excels in scalability, performance, and parallel processing, enhancing data handling efficiency. Users report significant productivity improvements and streamlined operations, making it ideal for comprehensive data solutions.
