Foolproof stability and robust system

SAP Replication Server is an application that I consider to be a robust system. It has proven to be highly reliable in my experience. One of its notable features is real-time replication, which ensures that data changes are replicated immediately. This is particularly advantageous when we need to execute full processes promptly.

Enhancing User Experience with Clustering While Potential Exists for Better Customization

My total experience with Terracotta is installing it in the architecture to do the clustering in WebMethods Integration Server. This provided to tackle the memory and the processes of those servers in the same pool. Terracotta, as per my understanding, is used for caching. The first function is used for clustering the requests. Regarding improvements, I cannot imagine what could be improved because my actual work in Integration Server is not totally restricted to Terracotta. The main function was restricted to developing services using integration servers in Software AG. The use of Terracotta is just for implementing caching. In this part, I create a cache manager for this response, and from a UI perspective, I am unable to suggest improvements.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We can customize any workflow and we also like the business domain modeling that can be done."

"It's pretty good at handling replication, even under high load. It also provides cross-database replication, for example, from Sybase to Oracle."

"It speeds up the performance in terms of how fast you are able to access the data, look at it, get it reported to you, and send it to somebody. It also reduces the amount of storage."

"SAP Replication Server is an application that I consider to be a robust system. It has proven to be highly reliable in my experience."

"SAP is renovating different things. We are using external tools to connect as of now. It is going well, and now the new generation integration platforms are going to be pretty easy."

"The impact of Terracotta's high availability and failover capabilities on the organization's data consistency and reliability is significant."

Cons

"There is room for improvement in terms of pricing and faster support."

"Improvement is a never ending story, and HANA is doing some improvements. We are able to adopt that, and we have to do it by integration with HANA. They are very major changes that we need to see."

"I would like to see it become mobile-friendly."

"The private solution is expensive. If you're in a situation where you're paying IBM or AWS or somebody just to host you specifically, you're paying people to run it and you're taking care of all the upgrades."

"If someone wants to replicate their data from Sybase to a newer technology for data warehousing or other purposes, it would be better if they supported those."

"I know that we have many other solutions that do the same functionality as Terracotta. I don't recall the names of the products now, but I believe there are many products that may be better than Terracotta."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's a very expensive solution."

"You can pick one of the hosted cloud services as opposed to owning it and doing it yourself. Your cost of ownership on the hardware, the data storage, and the maintenance all go down. It depends on what service you use."
