We were confidently in a situation to call Snowflake as a single source of truth, and I believe with Striim, we were able to do that because without Striim, the SLA would be much higher, and there would not have been much confidence in Snowflake.

Striim is definitely my data migration tool and data reflection syncing tool. It reduces manual intervention because it automatically syncs the data from the warehouse.

The CDC works nicely by replicating data as changes happen to the source database, running syncs to the target, and applying changes in near-real time.

Striim is capable of absorbing a large number of transactions, and the difference between the two databases is always less than a second, which demonstrates efficiency and highlights the variety of sources and targets I have used.

The user experience of triggering alerts if there's any lag which Striim identified, which is not normal, could intrinsically be done by Striim.

I would say Striim performance needs improvement because we use more GoldenGate, so I tend to compare GoldenGate with Striim.
