Executive SummaryUpdated on Dec 19, 2024

Oracle GoldenGate and WSO2 Enterprise Integrator are leading competitors in the data integration and replication market. Oracle GoldenGate appears to have an edge in stable replication capabilities and integration with Oracle environments, whereas WSO2 Enterprise Integrator stands out in API management and ease of integration.

Features: Oracle GoldenGate offers robust real-time data replication, excellent integration across diverse databases, and advanced Changed Data Capture (CDC) functionalities. It is highly compatible with Oracle environments, enabling seamless data transformations. WSO2 Enterprise Integrator is noted for its comprehensive range of connectors, allowing seamless integration across multiple systems. It includes features like standardization, API management, and easy-to-use integration solutions, making it ideal for complex mediation tasks.

Room for Improvement: Oracle GoldenGate could benefit from simplified management, better support for non-Oracle databases, and improvements in monitoring and documentation. It is often criticized for high licensing costs. WSO2 Enterprise Integrator requires enhancements in its integration studio, better documentation, and more efficient connectors to ease user customization. Both products face challenges regarding documentation and cost efficiency but differ significantly in their technical complexity and licensing models.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Oracle GoldenGate is usually deployed on-premises with some hybrid cloud options, though users report varied experiences with customer support, from responsive to often inefficient, leading to lengthy resolution times. WSO2 Enterprise Integrator is also primarily on-premises, with a reputation for rapid support in high-priority scenarios. Nevertheless, both solutions need improvements in their technical support structures, with Oracle users noting inefficiencies and WSO2 users seeking better regional service.

Pricing and ROI: Oracle GoldenGate is perceived as expensive, with pricing based on CPUs and licenses; however, it offers substantial ROI in large-scale implementations through significant time and cost savings, despite its high initial investment. WSO2 Enterprise Integrator is viewed as more affordable due to its open-source option, although enterprise subscriptions can become costly. Overall, both products deliver value for large enterprises with distinct pricing models and different levels of user satisfaction regarding cost-effectiveness.

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.

Effective data transformation and integration in complex environments with high functionality

Something that could be improved in WSO2 Enterprise Integrator is that the problem is not a lack of capability or functionalities. The problem is that it is a very complex environment. To put your hand on this environment is a very demanding task. This is the real problem. The problem is not about the product, but about the complexity to manage, to configure, to decide what to do. I have some experience using SAP R/3. It seems to me something similar. When you have to configure a situation with a client, especially for a client not in an industrial sector, but in a service sector, it is quite usual that you are in trouble for some reason. This is always the story that I found in the implementations I have done. Maybe there are only three or four big problems, in some other cases there are more than that, but this is the situation usually. For WSO2 Enterprise Integrator, not the same, but I must say it is quite often there is a need to put together some pieces and make it work in a coordinated way.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature is data replication capability."

"It is a scalable solution."

"You can put data together from a few databases into one database or the other way, from one database into several. It transforms data in real-time."

"CDC is the most valuable feature."

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

"It allows us to migrate from one system to another, from one server to another, with no downtime, no outage. We can get the data synchronized with multiple databases and then switch the connectivity across to the new servers."

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

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

More Oracle GoldenGate pros

"It's a very complete product. It allows us to network security and add more layers of security to the system."

"From the capabilities and functional possibility and anything else technical, it is a very well-done product, I have to say."

"The learning curve for this solution is very good."

"The productivity is the most valuable feature. It is very easy to write remediations."

"I like the user-friendly system and development of the service-oriented architecture."

"The solution basically conforms to our standards."

"Currently, I find the configuration part quite valuable, where you can easily configure things."

"WSO2's analytics capability is good, considering the ELC support they provide."

More WSO2 Enterprise Integrator pros

Cons

"The solution needs to improve its latency, monitoring and support."

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

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

"Microservices Architecture is not user-friendly."

"It is not a very stable tool, and you need to monitor it perfectly."

"The process of transforming the data between two different databases is inefficient and needs to be improved."

"Oracle support is very frustrating in terms of how they pass tickets back and forth and don't read your problem statement."

"While we like the CDC feature, it has some limitations in terms of what we can do and how to configure what we need to do."

More Oracle GoldenGate cons

"The setup can be difficult for those not familiar with the solution."

"WSO2 libraries are not mature enough. For example, if you want to integrate with Kafka using its Kafka library, it often has many bugs."

"The customization can be a bit difficult."

"They should introduce better pricing for small companies."

"The customization can be a bit difficult."

"The main issue with the product is pricing. It uses core-based pricing for WSO2 Enterprise Integrator and API Manager. It would be best if you had APIM by default. It provides many connectors for easy integration with third-party systems."

"I would like to see them bring back a feature, from earlier versions, that was very useful in debugging and finding issues."

"In my opinion, the administration model and interface, of Carbon, are lacking in terms of its features and user experience."

More WSO2 Enterprise Integrator cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

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

"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."

"Licensing for Oracle GoldenGate is paid yearly."

"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."

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

"The price of this solution is good."

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

More Oracle GoldenGate pricing and cost advice

"The open-source, unsupported version is available free of charge."

"The solution costs about 20,000 or 30,000 euros per year, per instance."

"The pricing of WSO2 Enterprise Integrator for enterprise subscriptions can be considered expensive, especially from the perspective of someone who prefers open-source software."

"I rate the product price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."

"It is a low-cost solution."

"The cost is better than IBM Cloud Pak."

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."
