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.

Syncs data in real-time while managing transaction volumes

The most valuable feature of Oracle GoldenGate is its ability to sync data in real-time, which is crucial for me. I set it to a master-master pluggable database that serves as a container used from clones to provide test environments for various teams. This makes it very effective in managing high-volume transactions. The ability to sync data in real time is a key feature I rely on.

Decreases the development timeframe and costs

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. Often, customers decide to develop using open-source tools like Spring Boot if there aren't many connectors required to avoid increasing costs. They'll develop this way and then deploy using APIM, the bare minimum needed. It is mainly required for very complicated setups with many connectors. In the implementations I've seen, people often used open-source tools because there weren't many third-party systems involved—just their organization's own systems. From WSO2 Enterprise Integrator, I expect them to bring up more and more connectors in the future. That's the main expectation. Having more connectors in various areas will help us when discussing new requirements. I don't have any specific use case right now, so I can't name a particular connector. But, as new technologies emerge, the relevant connectors should be there for those. WSO2 Enterprise Integrator mainly helps with the integration part, which can be simplified only if you have relevant connectors for whatever you're doing.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

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

"I am impressed with the tool's possibility of integrating different systems in a unified place."

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

"Oracle GoldenGate helps to select and target specific tables for replication. Any changes or operations on those tables are immediately reflected in the source and target environments."

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

"The product's initial setup phase was very simple."

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

More Oracle GoldenGate pros

"In my opinion, the most valuable aspect of this solution is its extensive range of adaptors and connectors. This feature holds significant importance and provides great value to users."

"The solution basically conforms to our standards."

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

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

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

"The solution's customer service is good."

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

"The installation process is easy."

More WSO2 Enterprise Integrator pros

Cons

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

"The product is not easy to use."

"The solution is quite costly, and if they could reduce their pricing, it would be more economical to implement."

"There are a lot of bugs in the solution."

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

"I find the user interface to be difficult for non-technical people."

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

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

More Oracle GoldenGate cons

"One of the reasons that we are looking for a replacement is their way of defining integration. The language of the XML structures that I use to describe the integrations are not that standard, and it's not easy to find people who are familiar with this approach."

"The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required."

"If I have to buy software, then it becomes expensive for me."

"You cannot include the validation of XPath."

"The server is very specific and it is very difficult to get experience with it."

"They should introduce better pricing for small companies."

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

"The administration side is complex and could use significant improvements to enhance the solution's functionality."

More WSO2 Enterprise Integrator cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is expensive."

"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."

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

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

"The price of this solution is good."

"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."

More Oracle GoldenGate pricing and cost advice

"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."

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

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

"The cost is better than IBM Cloud Pak."

"It is a low-cost solution."

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."
